# Doors Lock - Optional
Door locking during passive arming is a selectable feature. The alarm can
be programmed to allow the doors to lock only when arming using the
keychain transmitter, and they will not automatically lock during passive
arming.
PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED
" Opening any protected door, hood, or trunk lid will cause the alarm to immediately
sound. The alarm will continue to sound for 30 seconds, then stop and continue to
monitor all protected entry points. If the thief left a door opened, the alarm will sound
for six 30 second cycles, remain armed and ignore that triggered zone.
" Whenever the system is armed, the red dash mounted LED indicator will slowly
flash. This serves as a visual deterrent to the potential thief. The LED is a very low
current bulb, and will not cause the vehicle’s battery to drain, even when left
unattended for extended periods.
" Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle’s parking lights will flash for the full 30
second alarm cycle, attracting visual attention to the vehicle.
" Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle’s starting circuit will be bypassed. If the
thief should choose to ignore the siren, the vehicle can not be started.
" Any strong impact to the vehicle's glass/body will cause the alarm to trigger for the
full 30 second alarm cycle. A milder impact will cause the siren to emit a few short
warning tones.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
1. As you approach the vehicle, press and release the ARM / DISARM button on the
keychain transmitter.
" Red dash mounted LED turns off.
If passive arming is selected, the LED will start flashing rapidly, indicating that the system is re arming automatically. Open any door to suspend the automatic arming.
" Parking Lights flash two times.
If the parking lights flashed three times, then the alarm was triggered in
your absence. Before turning the key on, examine the LED to identify
which zone was triggered.
" Siren sounds two chirps.
If the siren sounds 4 chirps, then the alarm was triggered in your
absence. Before turning the key on, examine the LED and refer to the
INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS section of this manual to identify which
zone was triggered.
If the siren did not sound when disarming, then the chirps have been
turned off, and you should refer to the section titled " ELIMINA TING THE
ARM / DISARM CHIRPS " in this manual.

# Doors Unlock - Optional
NOTE: Anytime the system is disarmed, the unit will rearm automatically unless a door is
opened. This will occur regardless of the arming method selected.
SILENT DISARMING
1. As you approach the vehicle, press and hold the Unlock button on th e keychain transmitter
for 2 seconds.
" Red dash mounted LED turns off.
If passive arming was selected during the installation, then the LED will
start flashing rapidly, indicating that the system is re-arming automatically. Open any door to suspend the automatic arming.
" Parking Lights flash two times.
If the parking lights flashed three times, then the alarm was triggered in
your absence. Before turning the key on, examine the LED to identify
which zone was triggered.
" Siren will not sound.
If the siren sounds 4 chirps, then the alarm was triggered in your
absence. Before turning the key on, examine the LED and refer to the

zone was triggered.
# Doors Unlock - Optional
NOTE: Must be selected on during installation.
INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS
This system will inform you if an intrusion attempt has occurred while you were away from
the vehicle. If an intrusion attempt has occurred, the siren will chirp 4 times and the parking
lights will flash 3 times when disarming the system. Enter the vehicle, and observe the red
dash mounted LED to identify which zone was triggered.
If the LED is flashing two times...pause...two times...pause...etc., then an intrusion attempt
was made to a hood or trunk pin switch that was added to the system, or to a light activated
entry point if the alarm was installed using the voltage sensing feature.
If the LED is flashing three times...pause...three times...pause...etc., then an intrusion attempt was made through one of the vehicle’s doors.
These intrusion warning indicators are stored in the system’s memory and will only be
erased when the ignition key is turned on.
ELIMINATING THE NORMAL ARM / DISARM CHIRPS
As explained earlier in the manual, you can eliminate the chirps selectively any time you arm
or disarm the system simply by holding the ARM / DISARM button for two seconds. If you find
the normal arming and disarming chirps annoying, they can be turned off permanently,
eliminating the need to hold the ARM / DISARM button for two seconds. To do this,
1. Turn the ignition key on then off.
Page 4
2. Within 10 seconds, press and release the valet push button switch three times.
3. If the chirps were on before you started, then you will hear 2 chirps indicating
they have been turned off.
If the chirps were off before you started, then you will hear one chirp indicating
they have been turned on.
NOTE: Whenever the chirps are by-passed, the 4 chirp intrusion indicator and 3 chirp
defective zone indicator will always operate. Since these are important warnings to
you that something has happened, they cannot be eliminated.
VALET SWITCH
The valet switch allows you to temporarily bypass all alarm functions, eliminating the need
to hand your transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics. When the system is in
valet mode, all alarm functions are bypassed, however the remote panic feature and remote
door locks will remain operational. To use the valet mode, the system must first be disarmed
either by using your keychain transmitter, or by operating the manual override sequence.
1. From the disarmed condition, turn the ignition key to the on position.
2. Press and hold the valet pushbutton switch until the dash mounted LED, (Light
Emitting Diode) turns on. The LED will remain on as long as the system is in
valet mode.
3. To return to normal operation, press and release the push button switch any
time the ignition is on.
NOTE: Always remember to return the system to the NON VALET mode, after servicing, to
ensure that the vehicle remains protected at all times.
MANUALL Y OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM:
USING THE V ALET SWITCH MANUAL OVERRIDE
Your Security System can be disarmed without the use of the keychain transmitter. This is
necessary, since you will need the ability to operate your vehicle if the transmitter is lost or
its battery fails. If your system has been selected for Valet Switch manual override as
indicated on the last page of this manual, to by-pass the alarm system.
1. Open the vehicle door. The alarm will sound.
2. Turn the ignition key to the on position.
3. Within 5 seconds, press and release the valet push button switch.
The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the disarmed mode. You can now start and
operate the vehicle normally.
Typically this override mode is used only if the transmitter has become inoperative. You may
elect to enter the VALET mode until repair or replacement of the transmitter, after which,
returning the system to the full operation mode is necessary. To do so, see the heading
VALET SWITCH.
Unlike override switches easily found, and defeated, this security system allows the consumer to program a personal override code, offering a higher level of security. To take
Programming Y our Custom Override Code:
Page 5
advantage of this option, programmable feature # 10 must be selected for the Custom Code
Option. Consult your installation center for programming details. The system comes from
the factory with a pre-programmed override code of 11. To change this default override
code, do the following:
1. Disarm the system by use of the transmitter, or by use of the
emergency override sequence. Turn the ignition switch to the on
position.
2. Within 10 seconds, press and release the valet/override switch, 3
times.
3. Within 10 seconds turn the ignition switch off, on, off, on, off, on.
(The siren or horn will beep and the lights will flash one time.)
4. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen 10ths digit by
pressing and releasing the pushbutton switch from 1 up to 9 times.
5. Within 10 seconds of the last entered 10ths digit, turn the ignition
switch off then on.
6. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen units digit by
pressing and releasing the pushbutton switch from 1 up to 9 times.
7. Finish by turning the ignition switch to the off position.
If the new code was accepted, the unit will report back the newly entered code, by flashing
the LED, first indicating the 10ths digit, pause and then the units digit. The unit will report the
new code three times with a one second pause between each code, then the system will
begin arming. If the LED flash pattern reports the previously stored code, the new code
was not entered correctly. Please repeat steps 1 through 7 above considering the following.
NOTE: Acceptable digits 10ths or units are 1 through 9. The unit will not recognize a 0
(Zero), or no digit entered in any place, units or tenths.
NOTE: If 15 seconds of inactivity expire, or if the ignition switch is turned off for more then
5 seconds during any of the above steps, the unit will revert back to the last
successfully stored code.
Custom Code Programming Example:
To change the code from the factory pre-assigned code of 11 to “52” you would do the
following:
1. Disarm the system by use of the transmitter, or by use of the
emergency override sequence.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
3. Within 10 seconds, press and release the valet/override switch, 3 times.
4. Within 10 seconds turn the ignition switch off, on, off, on, off, on.
(The siren or horn will beep and the lights will flash one time.)
5. Within 10 seconds, begin to press and release the push button
switch to set the tenths digit.
(As per the example, press and release 5 times to set the tenths digit to 5)
6. Within 10 seconds of the last press of the push-button, turn the ignition
switch off then on.
Page 6
7. Within 10 seconds, begin to press and release the push button switch to set
the units digit.
(As per the example, press and release 2 times to set the units digit to 2).
8. Turn the ignition switch to the off position. Immediately observe the LED flash
pattern.
You will note the LED flashing five times, pause, and then flash two times, pause. This
pattern will be repeated three times indicating the new code (52) has been accepted and
stored in memory.
NOTE: If after step 8, the LED flashes a code other than what was just entered, this
indicates that the code has not been changed. You will have to repeat steps 1
through 7 above being certain to note the following:
Acceptable digits 10ths or units are 1 through 9. The unit will not recognize a 0 (Zero), or
no digit entered in any place, units or tenths.
NOTE: If 15 seconds of inactivity expire, or if the ignition switch is turned off for more then
5 seconds during any of the above steps, the unit will revert back to the last
successfully stored code.
MANUALL Y OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM:
USING THE CUSTOM CODE OVERRIDE
Assuming the override code programmed has not been changed, and the default override
code of 11 is in the system's memory.
1) Enter the vehicle and turn the ignition switch to the on position.
NOTE: The siren will sound.
2) Within 5 seconds, press and release the pushbutton switch 1 time.
3) Within 5 seconds, turn the ignition switch off then on.
4) Within 5 seconds, press and release the pushbutton switch 1 time.
5) Turn the ignition switch off then on and start the vehicle.
NOTE: If you have changed the programmed override code then substitute your new
code tenths for step 2 above, and units for step 5 above.
Sensor Defeat From Transmitter
This system has the ability to allow the sensor to be defeated, from the transmitter, entirely
or in part for one arming cycle. To eliminate the sensor for one arming cycle:
Arm the system by pressing the arm button of the transmitter one time.
If within 3 seconds of arming the system you press the arm button one time.
The siren will chirp 1 short followed by 1 long beep.
This action defeats the pre-detect stage of the sensor and allows the full trigger stage to
remain operational.
If within 3 seconds of arming the system you press the arm button two times.
The siren will chirp 1 long followed by 1 short beep.
Page 7
This action defeats the full trigger stage of the sensor and allows the pre-detect stage to
remain operational.
If within 3 seconds of arming the system, you press the arm button three times.
The siren will chirp 2 long beeps.
This action defeats both the pre-detect stage and the full detect stage of the sensor.
Once the system is disarmed, the sensor will return to normal operation upon the very next
arm cycle unless the above procedure is repeated.
If more than 3 seconds pass and then the arm/disarm button is pressed, the siren will chirp
2 short beeps, and the system will disarm.
WHILE THE SYSTEM IS SOUNDING
If during a triggered state, you wish to shut off the siren without disarming your security
system, simply press and release any transmitter button other than the disarm button. This
action will turn off the siren yet leave the vehicle fully armed and protected. This feature is
particularly useful if you are aware of children playing near your vehicle that may accidently
trigger your security system. In this case you can cancel the siren sounding without
disarming your alarm.
REMOTE PANIC OPERA TION
The ARM or DISARM button on your keychain transmitter also functions as a panic switch for
use in emergency situations. To use remote panic,
1. Press and hold the ARM or DISARM button on the keychain transmitter for 3 or
more seconds. The alarm will immediately sound.
2. To stop the alarm, press and hold the ARM or DISARM button on the transmitter
again for 3 seconds. If the button is not pressed, the alarm will automatically
stop after 30 seconds. Also if any transmitter button other than the ARM or
DISARM button is pressed and released, the Panic mode will be turned off
immediately. The normal function of this transmitter button will be suspended
during the Panic sounding period.
3. During the panic mode, the Lock and Unlock buttons can be used to lock and
unlock the doors, (if the option is installed), however once the unlock/disarm
button is pressed, the vehicle's starter inhibit device, (where installed) will be
disabled allowing the vehicle to start.
NOTE: While in the Panic mode, pressing and releasing the ARM or DISARM buttons will, if
the option is installed, lock and unlock the doors respectively. While in the panic
mode, anytime the DISARM button is pressed, the panic feature will continue for the
allotted 30 seconds, however, the security system will be disarmed allowing the
vehicle to start.
ADDITIONAL REMOTE FUNCTION ( CHANNEL 2 )
This security system has an additional feature that can be connected to a number of different
optional accessories. Some of the more common uses for this channel are;
