Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of your new vehicle security system and on joining over 8 million people worldwide who have trusted their vehicle's security to the designers of Omega Research & Development, Inc. To learn how to operate your security system, please become familiar with the following three principal user components: the Remote Transmitter, the Red LED Status Indicator and the Valet Switch.

The Remote Transmitter: Each security system includes two pre-learned transmitters, but if desired up to 4 different transmitters can operate the system. The transmitter has three buttons: one large button in the middle and two smaller buttons, one on either side. This system is pre-programmed to have the transmitter buttons work in the following configuration:

The

large button is used to arm, disarm and panic the security system.

small right button is used to operate the 2nd channel output, typically used

The

for trunk release, and arm and disarm the system without the audible chirps.

small left button operates the 3rd channel output and, in conjunction with

The

the large button, can remotely bypass a sensor upon arming.

The Red LED Status Indicator: Informs you of the different conditions the

security system can be in and also serves as a visual deterrent to break-ins and theft.

The Valet Switch: This switch is used for several purposes, one which is being

used to place the system into "Valet Mode". Valet Mode can be used to turn off automatic functions, such as Last Door Arming or Automatic Rearming. The Valet Switch is also used, with the ignition key, to disarm the security system in the event the transmitter becomes inoperable, and this switch is also used in the procedure for programming features and learning transmitters.

Please spend time reviewing this guide to become familiar with your new Omega vehicle security system. You will find that your new vehicle security system will give you years of trouble-free convenience and protection.

Advanced System Features

Automatic Transmitter Verification

system is protected against a common weakness found in all remote controlled security systems, and even factory-equipped Remote Keyless Entry systems. This weakness is the ease in which an additional transmitter may be programmed to operate the system. This vulnerability allows a thief to code his own, unauthorized

(ATV): Your Omega vehicle security

transmitter to operate your system for the purpose of stealing your vehicle or its contents.

For the first 48 hours after any transmitter is encoded to operate the system, every time the ignition switch is turned "on", the siren will chirp rapidly for two seconds, and the LED Status Light will flash for 90 seconds.

Additionally, in normal operation, every time the ignition switch is turned "on", the LED Status Indicator will flash and pause for ten seconds, the number of flashes between each pause being equal to the number of transmitters encoded to operate your system. For example: two flashes and a pause indicate that only two transmitters are coded to operate your system. In the event the system alerts you to a recent transmitter addition, you can now immediately reprogram your transmitters, effectively erasing any unauthorized transmitters.

Transmitter Code Jumping

: The transmitter sends a digitally coded signal

to the security system. The transmitter and security system will advance to another code to use for the transmission. With each use, this digital signal changes. This Code JumpingTM feature prevents a thief from using a "code grabber" device to record and play back a transmission for the purpose of disarming your vehicle security system.

left transmitter button for

2.5 seconds activates the 3rd channel output, which may be used to operate optional devices. If an optional auxiliary sensor is part of the system, pressing this button within 4 seconds after arming the system will turn the sensor off.

Large Transmitter Button-

Pressing and releasing this button will arm and disarm the security system. If the optional doorlock interface is installed, the doors will lock upon arming, and unlock upon disarming (however, if the system is in a triggered condition, disarming will not unlock the doors). If you have the optional unlock driver's door feature, then upon disarming only the driver's door will unlock, and if the large button is pressed again within 4 seconds, all of the doors will unlock. Pressing and holding this button for 3 seconds will "Panic" the system- which will sound the siren or horn, flash the exterior and interior lights and also lock the doors.

Small Right Transmitter Button- If this button is

held for 3 seconds, the security system will activate the 2nd channel output (typically used for trunk release). If this button is pressed twice, the system will arm or disarm without audible chirps.

Arming The System Using The Transmitter

Arming The Security System Using The Transmitter: The security system

can always be armed from the transmitter provided the ignition key is “off” and the system is disarmed and not in the Valet Mode. To arm the system, after you exit the vehicle and close all of the doors, simply press and release the large transmitter button once. Instantly the parking lights will flash once, the siren will chirp once and the LED Status Indicator will begin to flash confirming that the system is armed. Further, the doors will lock and the starter interrupt relay will engage to prevent any attempt to start the vehicle. Your security system is now fully armed, and is ready to respond if an intrusion attempt is detected.

Arming Bypass: Upon arming, if any sensing circuit is inoperable, that circuit

will be bypassed. For example, if the trunk is left open, you can still arm the system with the transmitter. The bypassed circuit will automatically be reinstated for protection 5 seconds after the circuit becomes operative, i.e., when the trunk is closed. When a triggered circuit is in a bypassed state, all other operating circuits will be protected normally.

Sensor By-Pass: Your security system provides you with the convenience of

temporarily deactivating any optional auxiliary sensor without affecting other

Page - 7

trigger circuits. To deactivate the sensor, simply press and release the small left transmitter button within 4 seconds after pressing the large transmitter button when arming the system. You will hear a second siren chirp confirming that the security system has armed without the sensor protecting the vehicle. The next time you arm the security system, the system will reset to its normal condition, and the sensor will again be part of your protection.

Passively Arming The System

Passively Arming The Security System Using Last Door Arming: You can

also pre-select your security system to automatically arm and lock the doors when the vehicle's last door is closed. The moment the last door closes the siren (or horn, if used) will chirp once, the parking lights will flash once and the LED Status Indicator will begin to flash rapidly. Thirty seconds later the siren will chirp again, the doors will lock (provided that the Passive Lock feature has been chosen) and the LED Status Indicator will slow to a steady flash, confirming that the security system is fully armed. If a point of entry is reopened before the single siren chirp at 30 seconds, the passive arming process stops and will reset to start over when the point of entry is re-closed.

Automatic Last Door Arming offers a high level of security, since you do not

have to remember to arm the security system every time you leave the vehicle.

Page - 8

Additionally, Automatic Last Door Arming may entitle you to an insurance discount. Please note that the previously mentioned Arming By-Pass feature does not operate with the Automatic Last Door Arming feature. The bypass feature is designed to operate only when arming the system with the transmitter and all protected entries must be closed to initiate the Automatic Last Door Arming sequence. Last Door Arming does not effect the operation of Active Arming.

To prevent the system from automatically arming while the vehicle is being refueled you have these options: put the system in Valet Mode (page 14), keep your door open, or turn on your dome light switch so the system detects that your door is still open. We do not recommend leaving your ignition key turned "on".

Security System Armed And Triggered

While the security system is armed, the LED Status Indicator will be flashing. Should any intrusion attempt occur, your system will instantly "trigger". Once triggered, the security system will respond by:

1) The electronic siren will sound*.

2) The parking lights will flash on and off for the duration.

3) The doors will relock. This feature is so unique that the security system can detect an open door and wait until the door is closed; at that time the door re-locks so that the thief cannot easily regain entry.

Page - 9

* The electronic siren features six different tones, and every 5 seconds the siren will change the tone to generate more attention to the vehicle. The vehicle's horn may be used if desired. The horn, if used, will honk on and off for 10 seconds, then pause for 5 seconds, repeating this cycle for the duration of the activated alarm period. This prevents the horn from overheating. Please ask the installer for details on utilizing the horn.

The siren and the parking lights will stay active for 60 seconds unless you disarm the system with the transmitter or the Valet Switch. If all protected entries are secure at the end of 60 seconds, the system will stop and rearm automatically to detect another entry attempt. If there is a protected entry still open or if an optional sensor is still in a triggered state at the end of 60 seconds, the system will reactivate for two more 60 second cycles. In this case the system will stop after a total of 3 minutes and rearm automatically, while ignoring only the open entry or triggered sensor. When the entry is closed or the triggered sensor is reset, protection will begin instantly for the formerly affected circuit.

Once the security system has been activated and reset, the disarming confirmation will no longer be 2 siren chirps, and the parking lights staying on. Instead, the system will respond with 4 siren chirps and the parking lights flashing 4 times before staying on for 30 seconds. The LED Status Light will change to flashing one to four times between pauses to indicate which protection circuit triggered the system. These audible and visual indications will remain until the ignition is turned “on”.

Page - 10

Anytime the security system triggers, the LED Status Light will indicate which zone triggered the system by flashing one to four times, pausing between flashes. This code will continue to flash, even after disarming. The system can hold two different violation codes in it's memory, which is cleared by turning the ignition switch "on".

Safety Disarm/Storm Mode: While the system is activated, i.e. sounding the siren and flashing the lights, pressing the large transmitter button will

disarm the system only. The system will not chirp twice or illuminate the parking lights, nor unlock the doors if the system is configured to also operate the door locks. This safety feature ensures that the vehicle remain secure should the system require disarming due to being activated from nuisance or malicious false sensory inputs, such as typically produced by severe weather conditions. To remotely unlock the doors if the system is disarmed while activated, repeat the arm/disarm operation by pressing and releasing the large transmitter button once, then again. If disarmed from a panic mode, the normal disarm indications are present, including the unlocking of the doors.

Disarming The System

Disarming The System Using The Transmitter: While the security system is

in the armed state,

pressing and releasing the large transmitter button once will

Page - 11

instantly disarm the system and unlock the doors. If you have the optional unlock driver's door feature, then upon disarming only the driver's door will unlock, and if the large transmitter button is pressed again within 5 seconds, or at any time if a door is open, all of the other doors will unlock.

Disarming is confirmed by the siren chirping twice, and the parking lights

turning on for 30 seconds. However, the lights will turn off instantly if the ignition switch is turned "on". If the system was triggered and reset while you are away, the disarm confirmation will change to 4 siren chirps, 4 light flashes, and then the lights will stay on for 30 seconds. The security system will have this response upon disarming until the ignition switch is turned "on", which clears the unit's memory.

Automatic Rearming Feature: Should you unknowingly press the transmitter

button, which will result in your system disarming, the system can automatically rearm itself 90 seconds later and once again lock the doors. This feature is programmable, and may be turned off.

Automatic Rearming can be paused by opening the door or stopped by turning "on" the ignition switch. Also, Automatic Rearming can be cancelled by the Safety Disarm/Storm Mode feature; if the system is disarmed while triggered, Automatic Rearming will not occur. Automatic Rearming is confirmed by a fast flashing LED Status Indicator after disarming, unless the system was triggered and reset, in which case a Zone Violation code will flash instead.
