To program more features, simply repeat Steps 3 and 4. If seven seconds expire
without any programming activity the system will automatically exit Features Programming Mode. Turning on the ignition switch will also exit the system from
Features Programming Mode; in either case the system signals the exit with two
siren bursts.
How to Program Transmitters to the System
Whenever a transmitter, new or existing, is programmed to the system, all existing codes are erased for security. So all of the transmitters which are to operate
the system, which can be up to four, must be programmed at the same time.
Step 1: Turn "On" the vehicle's ignition.
Step 2: Within 10 seconds press the Valet/Override Switch 5 times. The system
responds with 1 siren burst to confirm Transmitter Programming Mode.
Step 3: Within 10 seconds, press either the Trunk button or Button #4 on each
transmitter to be programmed. The response to each is 1 and 1, 1 and 2,
etc., siren burst then chirp(s).
If 17 seconds expire without any programming activity the system will automatically exit Transmitter Programming Mode. Turning off the ignition switch will also
exit the system from Transmitter Programming Mode; in either case the system
signals the exit with 1 long siren chirp.
Page 29
How to Program Features
Introduction
The 20 programmable features, explained in the previous pages, are very easily
programmed by a procedure using the ignition key, Valet/Override Switch, and
transmitter. To access Features Programming Mode:
Step 1: Turn the vehicle's ignition "On" then "Off".
Step 2: Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition "Off", press the Valet/Override
Switch 5 times. The system will sound a siren burst, then a single chirp
confirming entry to Features Programming Mode.
Step 3: Within 7 seconds of entering Features Programming Mode, press the
Valet/Override Switch the number of times equal to the number of the
feature to be programmed. The system will repeat the feature number
with same number of siren chirps.
Step 4: After the system acknowledges the feature to be programmed, press
either the Transmitter Arm/Lock Button to turn the feature on (the system’s
response will be 1 chirp), or the Disarm/Unlock Button to turn the feature
off (the system’s response will be 2 chirps).

Congratulations on the purchase of your vehicle security system. In learning to
operate your system, please become familiar with these three components:
The Transmitter: Each security system comes with two pre-learned transmitters,
but can learn up to 4 different transmitters. Every transmitter has its own unique,
invisible code, which changes with each use. Thus, your transmitter cannot be
duplicated. The transmitter has four buttons: an “Arm/Lock” button; a “Disarm/
Unlock” button; a “Trunk” button which operates an additional output, and which
also can arm and disarm your system silently; and a “Button #4” which can operate
another additional output, or be configured to operate the Remote Panic feature.
The Valet/Override Switch: This switch can be used to turn “Off” the alarm portion
of the system, including the programmable Automatic Last Door Arming and
Automatic Rearming features, by placing the system into “Valet Mode”. The Valet/
Override Switch can also be used in conjunction with the vehicle’s ignition key to
perform an “Emergency Override” of the system should the transmitter be lost.
Both of these are explained on pages 15-17.
The LED Status Indicator Light: The LED Indicator shows the status of the
system and serves as a visual deterrent to break-ins and theft; see pages 18-19.
Page 5
Arming the System
The system may be "Armed" by one of two methods. The first method involves the
use of a remote transmitter to "Actively" arm the system, provided the ignition
switch is "off" and the system is not in Valet Mode. The second method is a
programmable feature called “Last Door Arming” in which the alarm will “Passively”
or “self” arm.
To Actively Arm the System: Press & Release the “Arm/Lock”
Transmitter Button
THE SIREN WILL
CHIRP ONCE
Press &
Release
Upon Arming: • The siren will chirp one time.
• The parking lights will flash once.
• The doors will lock. (If an optional interface is connected)
• The starter interrupt will engage.
• The LED Status Indicator will begin to flash slowly.

(IF CONNECTED)
THE PARKING LIGHTS
WILL FLASH ONCE
18. 1 or 2 Button Arm/Disarm: (1 Button / •2 Button)
- This feature controls how the transmitter operates the security system.
Having this feature on the “2 Button” setting has the system operating in a
"dedicated button for arming and dedicated button for disarming" fashion. The
"2 Button" setting is the correct one to be used with the included transmitters.
If this feature is set for “1 Button”, a single transmitter button will alternate
arming and disarming the system with each press of that button. This type of
operation is also described as a "single button toggle" for the arming and
disarming of the system. Optional transmitters are available for best use of
this feature. When programming, press Arm/Lock for 1 Button, or Disarm/
Unlock for 2 Button operation.
19. Transmitter Button #4 Operates Remote Panic: (On / •Off)
- This feature, described on page 14, configures the transmitter’s Button #4 to
operate Remote Panic without locking or unlocking the doors. If this feature
is turned on, the Auxiliary 3rd Channel is operated by pressing and releasing
Button #4 instead of pressing and holding it. When programming, press Arm/
Lock for 3rd Channel, or Disarm/Unlock for Remote Panic operation.
20. Single or Multi-Vehicle Operation: (•Single / Multi-Vehicle)
- This feature is described on page 13. When programming, press Arm/Lock
for Single operation, or Disarm/Unlock for Multi-Vehicle operation.
Page 27
Mode, and the Auxiliary 2nd Channel is activated, the system will bypass
the current sensing and sensor zones if the system is armed. This allows a
remote start module to start the vehicle without activating the system. The
door and trunk zones remain active, and if violated will activate the system
and turn the vehicle’s engine off. If programming, press the Disarm/Unlock
Button for Start Mode or the Unlock/Disarm Button for Disarm. Please note
that the Auxiliary 3rd Channel has standard full-time Start Mode operation.
14. Transmitter Activated Anti-Carjacking: (On / •Off)
- This feature’s operation is explained on pages 21-22.
15. Door Activated Anti-Carjacking: (On / •Off)
- This feature’s operation is explained on pages 21-22.
16. Ignition Activated Anti-Carjacking: (On / •Off)
- This feature’s operation is explained on pages 21-22.
17. Confirmation Chirp: (•On / Off)
- This feature allows the arm and disarm confirmation chirps to be turned off.
When this feature is turned off, exceptions will be chirps during programming
and the single chirp produced when the system arms by Last Door Arming
and Automatic Rearming.
Page 26
If a protected zone is open when actively arming using the transmitter, the system will still arm, but it will bypass the open zone until the zone is secured.
To Passively Arm the System: Turn Ignition Off, Then Open &
Close a Door.
Automatic “Last Door Arming” is a programmable feature which allows the alarm
to arm itself and, if desired, lock the doors upon arming. If “On”, this convenient
feature offers a high level of security since the user does not need to actively arm
the system each time the vehicle is exited. Anytime that the ignition is turned off,
and then a door is opened and closed:
• The siren will chirp one time.
• The LED Status Indicator will begin to flash rapidly.
Thirty seconds later:
• The siren will chirp one time again.
• The LED Status Indicator will begin to flash slowly.
• The starter interrupt will engage.
The alarm is now fully armed. The doors will lock at this time, but only if programmed to do so, and an optional interface must also be installed.
The system can not Last Door Arm if a protected zone is open. Should a vehicle
door be opened during the arming countdown, the countdown will stop and start
Page 7
over again when the door is closed. “Automatic Rearming” is a separate programmable operation similar to Last Door Arming, and should not be confused
with it.
10. System Activation Cycle Duration: (•30 / 60 Seconds)
- Configures the system’s activation duration cycle to be either 30 seconds or
60 seconds. If programming, press the Transmitter Arm/Lock Button for the
30 Second setting or press the Disarm/Unlock Button for the 60 second setting.
System Armed & Activated
If the System is Activated:
Regardless of method, once the system is in a fully armed state it monitors all
protected zones, and if an intrusion attempt is detected it will activate, or “trigger”.
An activation consists of the following:
• The doors will immediately relock.
• The electronic siren, or optionally the vehicle’s horn, will start sounding.
• The exterior parking lights will flash on and off repeatedly.
An activation has a 30 (or 60) second duration unless the system is disarmed using
the transmitter or the Valet /Override switch. If all protected zones are secure at
the end of the activation, the system will stop and rearm itself to detect further entry
attempts. If a protected zone is still open at the end of the activation cycle, the
system will continue to reactivate itself, for up to six activated cycles before it resets
itself and ignores the violated zone. If the programmable activated period is 30
Page 8
11. Double Unlock Pulse: (On / •Off)
- Configures system to change the single unlock output pulse into a double
unlock pulse. Some newer vehicles require a double pulse to unlock the
doors; when needed this feature saves the expense of optional parts.
12. Open Door Bypass Alert: (On / •Off)
- Configures the system to chirp the siren 3 times upon arming, instead of 1
time, to warn the user if a door is still open.
13. Auxiliary 2nd Channel Disarms System or Engages Start Mode: (•Disarms /
Start Mode)
- This unique feature changes certain aspects of the system’s Auxiliary 2nd
Channel’s operation so that it is more compatible with optional remote starter
units. When this feature is utilized, instead of disarming the system when the
Auxiliary 2nd Channel is activated, the system does not disarm. Additionally,
certain of the system’s sensory zones are bypassed to prevent false activation
due to the remote starting operation. When this feature is set for the Start
Page 25
5. Automatic Rearming: (On / •Off)
- Configures the system to automatically rearm itself 90 seconds after it has
been disarmed by the transmitter.
6. Doors Lock With Automatic Rearm: (On / •Off)
- Adds the automatic locking of the vehicle's doors to the previous feature.
seconds, a continuously violated zone will activate the alarm for 3 minutes total
before resetting and ignoring the violated zone. If the programmable activated
period is 60 seconds, the total activated time under the same circumstance would
be 6 minutes. Once the system is activated, it will store a Zone Violation Code,
which is described on page 19.
7. Steady Siren Output Or Pulsed Horn Honk Output: (•Siren / Horn)
- Allows the selection of a constant output to sound the electronic siren or a
pulsed output to properly sound the vehicle's horn. If programming, press the
Transmitter Arm/Lock Button for the Steady Siren setting or press the Disarm/
Unlock Button for the Pulsed Horn setting.
8. Ignition Controlled Door Lock: (•On / Off)
- Configures the system to lock the vehicle's doors when the ignition is turned
on.The following feature controls unlocking, and these features will still
operate when the system is in Valet Mode.
9. Ignition Controlled Door Unlock: (•On / Off)
- Configures the system to unlock the vehicle's doors when the ignition is turned
off.

functions in programming mode are noted. Otherwise, pressing the Arm/Lock
Button turns the feature “on”; pressing the Disarm/Unlock Button turns the feature
“off”.
Safety Disarm: If the system is disarmed while it is activated, it will disarm, but
not unlock the doors. This is the Safety Disarm feature; to unlock the doors in this
situation, simply press the Disarm/Unlock Button again. Should the transmitter be
lost, damaged, or its batteries be exhausted, the Valet /Override Switch
vehicle’s ignition key
may be used to disarm the system by performing an

1. Current Sensing: (•On / Off)
- Enables the system to be activated if armed should the system detect a
voltage spike in the vehicle’s electrical system.
2. Current Sensing Activation Delay: (3 Seconds / •3 Minutes)
- Allows option of a longer delay before activation by current sensing can occur.
This is for use in vehicles with equipment, such as cooling fans, which stay
on after the ignition has been turned off.
3. Last Door Arming: (On / •Off)
- Configures the system to automatically arm itself 30 seconds after the last
of the vehicle’s doors is closed.
4. Doors Lock With Last Door Arming: (On / •Off)
- Adds the automatic locking of the vehicle's doors to the previous feature.

Once the Anti-Carjacking process has begun, the user has 63 seconds to press
the Valet/Override Switch in order to cancel the process. If not cancelled, at 55
seconds the siren will begin to chirp for 8 seconds to alert the user that the system
is about to enter into an activated condition. If the Anti Car-Jacking process is not
cancelled before the 63 second countdown expires, the system will fully activate.
In the activated condition the siren/horn will sound, the parking lights will flash,
and at 95 seconds the starter interrupt will engage. Once the system is activated
in the Anti-Carjack mode, the transmitters will NOT stop the operation, nor will the
system reset automatically. Once it is fully activated, the Anti-Carjacking
operation can only be deactivated by:
First Step: Turning the vehicle’s ignition “Off”.
Second Step: Turning the vehicle’s ignition back “On”.
Third Step: Within 5 seconds Pressing the Valet/Override Switch.

If the system is armed when the Auxiliary Channel is used, it will also disarm; or,
there is also has a special programmable feature, Start Mode, which is designed
to allow the addition of an optional remote starter module to start the vehicle while
leaving the system armed (pages 25-26).
Optional 3rd Channel Output: This output's operation is similar to the trunk
release output except for the following: press and hold the Transmitter’s Button #4
for 3 seconds to activate the 3rd channel output. The 3rd channel output has no
audible or visual confirmation. This output can be used to operate optional
equipment such as remote car starter units or window roll-up modules, and it has
Start Mode capability all of the time, and which is described on pages 25-26.

Programmable Anti-Carjacking Protection
The Freedom-500 vehicle security system is equipped with three levels of
programmable Anti-Carjacking protection. The Anti-Carjacking operation may be
activated by the ignition, a combination of the ignition and an open door, or the
transmitter. These three forms of Anti-Carjacking protection are programmable
features, which are as received configured “Off”.
First Level: Anti-Carjacking activated using the transmitter:
If programmable feature #14 is “On”, the Anti Car-Jacking operation may be
activated by pressing and holding the transmitter’s Disarm/Unlock Button and
Small Button together for 4 seconds while the ignition is “On”.
Second Level: Anti-Carjacking activated by a door:
If programmable feature #15 is “On”, the system will initiate the Anti-Carjacking
operation every time a vehicle door is opened and closed while the ignition is “On”.
OPERATE OPTIONAL WINDOW ROLL-UPS
For safety, neither Auxiliary Channel cannot be activated if the vehicle's ignition is
"On". The Auxiliary Channels have output for as long as the button is held.
Page 12
Third Level: Anti-Carjacking activated by the ignition:
If programmable feature #16 is “On”, the system will initiate the Anti-Carjacking
operation every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned “On”.
Page 21
Auxiliary Sensor & Prewarning
Multiple Vehicle Operation
Auxiliary Sensor: This security system is equipped with a plug-in port for an
optional sensor to increase the effectiveness of the system. The comprehensive
line of optional sensors offered is comprised of impact sensors, glass tampering
sensors, and microwave/radar sensors which can detect motion inside and
outside the vehicle. Your Omega dealer can provide details on the complete line
of sensors and help determine which sensor or sensors are best suited for your
needs. Currently many sensors feature dual zone capability, which take advantage
of the security system’s prewarning circuit.
Bypassing the Auxiliary Sensor: If desired, the system may be armed, but
without the auxiliary sensor being part of the system’s protection. Upon arming,
immediately after the single arming confirmation chirp, simply press and release
the Transmitter Trunk Button; the system will chirp the siren once again to confirm
that the sensor is bypassed. When the sensor has been bypassed, it will not
activate the alarm, nor will it cause a Prewarning Detection.
Prewarning Detection: This circuit requires connection to a dual zone sensor or
detection device. When the sensor’s prewarn zone is triggered the security system
will respond by siren burst followed by a series of chirps, which altogether lasts
about 2 seconds.
Page 20
Two Freedom-500 security systems can be totally and
independently operated in two separate vehicles. This
is done by the use of the Multi-Vehicle Switch, located
as shown on the top corner of the transmitter. This
unique feature is further enhanced for convenient, easy
operation- if only one system is to be operated,
Place the Multi-
Vehicle Switch in
one of its two
positions
programmable feature #20, Single or Two Vehicle
Operation, ensures that the single system responds no
matter which position the Multi-Vehicle Switch is in.
Programming feature #20 is explained on pages 27-29.
Remote Panic Operation
Should it be needed in a threatening situation or you feel the need to attract attention, the system can be activated remotely by using the transmitter. Your system
features “Enhanced Panic”, which allows you to activate Remote Panic from either the “Arm/Lock” button or “Disarm/Unlock” button; the former locks the doors
and the latter unlocks the doors when Remote Panic is activated.

Zone Testing & Zone Violation: Are related visual indicators, via the LED Status
Indicator; the first shows currently violated zones while the system is disarmed,
and the second, should the system be activated, shows which zone caused the
activation after the fact. These are the codes for both operations:
1 Flash /Pause = is the current sensing zone circuit.
2 Flashes /Pause = is the hood or trunk zone circuit.
3 Flashes /Pause = is the door zone circuit.
4 Flashes /Pause = is the sensor zone circuit, including Prewarning Detection.
Zone Testing operates while the system is disarmed, and shows if a protected
zone is in a violated state. In using Zone Testing, for example, while the system
is disarmed, whenever a door is open the LED Status Indicator will flash 3 times
between pauses. Should multiple protected zones be violated at the same time,
all will be shown in sequence.
Remote Panic can be activated anytime, whether the vehicle’s ignition is turned
on or off, and has a 60 second duration (regardless of the 30 or 60 second activation setting) unless a transmitter is used to stop it. At the end of the 60 second
cycle, the system will reset and be in either the armed state (if activated by the
“Arm/Lock” button) or in the disarmed state (if activated by “Disarm/Unlock”).
Page 14 Page 19
Zone Violation operates if the system has been armed, and then activated. During
the activation, the LED Status Indicator will flash the Violation, and then revert to
the normal slow flash when the system rests itself, then, upon disarming, the LED
will change to flash the Violation Code, and will continue to do so until the ignition
switch is turned “On”. Should multiple activations occur during a single armed
period, up to four Zone Violations will be shown upon disarming.
The LED Status Indicator
The Red LED Status Indicator visually shows the status of the system and also
provides a high level of visual deterrence. The Red LED Status Indicator Light is
normally mounted in a location where it can be easily seen by the driver, as well
as from outside the vehicle.
To Deactivate Panic: Press & Release either the “Arm/Lock”
OR the “Disarm/Unlock” Button
Deactivating Remote Panic from the “Arm/Lock” button results in the system being Armed with locked doors; if the “Disarm/Unlock” button is used to deactivate
Remote Panic the system will be in the Disarmed state with unlocked doors.
Security System Status: The primary function of the Red LED Status Indicator
Light is to indicate the normal operating status of the security system:
Off = The system is disarmed and not performing any automatic functions.
On Constant = The system is in the Valet Mode.
Flashing Slow = The system is fully Armed.
Flashing Fast = The system is Last Door Arming or Automatic Rearming.
Automatic Transmitter Verification: For the first 10 seconds after the vehicle’s
ignition is turned "On", the LED Status Indicator will flash a number of times equal
to the number of transmitters which are programmed in the system’s memory and
which can operate the security system. This indication can be from 1 Flash /pause
up to 4 Flashes /pause, as the system can be operated by just one, or as many as
four remote transmitters. A related feature, Unauthorized Transmitter Alert, warns
you of recent transmitter programming, and protects your system from unauthorized
transmitters being coded to operate it your without your knowledge.
Page 18
“Dedicated Panic Button” Option: Another method of operating the Remote
Panic feature is available as an option. Programmable feature #19 configures
Transmitter Button #4 to operate Remote Panic. When this is programmed,
pressing and holding Button #4 operates Remote Panic without the doors locking
or unlocking. Even if this option is used, the Arm/Lock and Disarm/Unlock buttons
still operate Remote Panic as previously described. Also, when this option is used,
the 3rd Channel still operates from Button #4- instead of pressing and holding
Button #4, press and release it twice to operate the 3rd Channel output.
Valet Mode & Emergency Override
The Valet/Override Switch can perform two distinct functions: accessing Valet
Mode and performing an Emergency Override of an armed and activated system.
It is important that you know the location of the Valet Switch; a Valet Switch and LED
Status Indicator combination holder is provided, and may have been installed.
Page 15
Valet Mode prevents any active arming, from the transmitter, or passive arming, as
in Last Door Arming. Valet Mode is designed for situations in which it is not
convenient for the alarm portion of the system to be operational; for example during

To Disarm the Security System Without The Transmitter:
Valet Mode can only be achieved with a disarmed system. If the system is armed,
and in the event that the transmitter is lost, damaged, or its batteries have become
exhausted, the Valet /Override Switch
disarm the system by performing an Emergency Override:
Step 1: With the system in the armed condition, enter the vehicle via the driver's
door (be aware that the alarm will activate when the door is opened).
Step 2: Using your key, turn the vehicle’s ignition to the "On" position.
Step 3: Within 5 seconds, Press the Valet/Override Switch.
-The activated system will instantly disarm.
When the Valet/Override Switch is pressed, and the system disarms, releasing the
switch will place the system in standby mode. Holding the switch for 3 seconds
further after the activated system disarms will place the system into Valet Mode,
preventing further arming. Once overridden, the disarmed system may still be
placed into Valet Mode as described on the previous pages.
& your vehicle’s ignition key
THEN WITHIN
5 SECONDS
