PATENTED, 2-STAGE, PRE-INTRUSION,
ELECTROMAGNETIC SHOCK SENSOR

This VS1000XL is equippedwith a 2-stage, pre-intrusion, electromagn~tic shock sensor. If the

vehide is lightly rapped, the first stage sensor will cause the alarm siren to "chirp." This feature
provides a pre-intrusion waming to would-be thieves. If a harder impact is made to the vehide, the

secondstage sensor will activatethe alarm and soundthe siren. .

NOTE: the alarm will not have this pre-intrusion feature if your alarm is programmed to use

current sensing.

ALARM DURATION, SIREN AND FLASHING LIGHT
If the alarm is triggered, it will sound four 28-second cycles with a 10-second pause between

cydes. For example, if a door opening is detected, the alarm will automatically sound for 28
seconds. If the door has not been shut before the end of the 28-second cycle, the alarm will

continue to sound for three more cycles and then stop sounding. During this time the lights will
flash in 38-second cycles with no pause. If any of the other sensors are triggered, or the same

door is closed and then reopened, the process will begin again.

~O.E. T.SWITCH

.~ The V.O.E.T. switchhas four convenientfunctions:

The Valet: allows easy, permanent disarming of the alarm system. This is useful for unloading

groceries, or servicing the car. To activate the valet mode, tum the ignition key on and flip the
V.O.E.T. switch on, then back to off. Now the alarm will not arm. If you wish to deactivate the

I vaietmode,tumtheignitiononandfliptheV.O.E.T.switchon,thenbacktooff. Nowthealarm

Ican be armed.

I

I:The Defective zone override: lets the alarm arm even if one or more of the alarm's sensing

-

i, devices are defective. For example, if the door switch is defective the alarm will not arm and thus
I. will not "CHIRP".-Toarm the remainingsensors, flip the V.O.E.T.switch to the on position.(The

!I switch will remain in the on position.) To disengage the defective zone override, flip the V.O.E.T.

, switch back to the off position. .

IMPORTANT: Arming the alarm with the override (V.O.E.T.) switch in the "ON" position will disable

. the fail-safe arming feature and force the alarm to arm with an open or defective door/

sensor. With the override (V.O.E.T.) switch "ON", the alarm system, when armed, is not
fully protecting the vehicle. Repair the alarm system and return the override (V.O.E.T.)

I switch to the "OFF" position as soon as possible.

iThe Emergency disarm: a back-up method of disarming the alarm in case the transmitter is lost

I or stolen. To disarrT! the alarm, first open a door. The alarm will begin to sound. Tum on the key

.and then flip the V.O.E.T. switch to the on position and then back to the off position.

The Temporary disarm: can be used to temporarily disarm the alarm. This is useful for leaving
the car for a short period of time such as during a stop at a gas station. To operate, tum off the

. key and flip the V.O.E.T. switch on and then back to off. If you change your mind and wish to

leave the car for an extended time, press the transmitter button to arm the alarm. The temporary
disarm feature is automatically disengaged once the key is turned on.
For a quick reference guide on the V.O.E.T. Switch, see right side.

FOUR-FUNCTION LED

The alarm brain red LED has four useful functions:

. The RF transmitter-receiver can be tested by pushing the transmitter button.

! If the alarm brain LED comes on, the transmitter-receiver is working properly.

. When in valet mode the LED will flash 1.5 seconds on, 0.5 second off.

This alerts you to the fact that the alarm is currently off. It also gives the
appearance to would-be thieves that the alarm is armed.

. When the VS1000XL is fully armed, the LED will flash 0.5 second on, 1.5 seconds off, as a

warning to would-be thieves that your vehicle is protected by an alarm.

. When the VS1000XL is not armed nor in the valet mode, the LED will be off.

V.O.E.T. SWITCH OPERATION

CHART

.NOTE 1: Arming the alarm with the override (V.O.E.T.) switch in the "ON" position will disable the fail-safe arming feature and force the alarm to arm with an open

door/sensor. With the override (V.O.E.T.) switch "ON", the alarm system, when armed, is not fully protecting the vehide. Repair the alarm system and
return the override (V.O.E.T.) switch to the "OFF" position as soon as possible.

NOTE 2: AUTOMATIC ARM ING

- Alarm will arm automatically 15seconds after the last door is shut. However, if you wish, you can arm the alarm manuallyafter

the last door is shut, by pressing the transmitter button once.

NOTE 3: Two ways to remove the "temporary disarm of automatic arming" feature:

(1) Close all doors and press the transmitter once. The alarm will "chirp" and arm.
(2) Turn the ignition key from off to on, then back to off. Open the door, then shut the door. The alarm will go back to the "automatic arming" mode.

NOTE 4: When the VS1000XL is fully armed, the LED will flash 0.5 second on, 1.5 seconds off. When in valet mode, the LED will flash 1.5 seconds on, 0.5 second

off. This protects car in valet mode, as thief will see flashing LED and assume alarm is armed.
