TOTAL PROTECTION
While your alarm is armed, your vehicle is
protected in the following ways;
l Potential thieves or vandals will be deterred
by the flashing LED and window decals.
l If the shock sensor detects light taps on the
vehicle, it will trigger the pre-intrusion alert
(the siren chirps 3 times and the parking
lights flash 3 times) to warn potential thieves
and vandals. However, if it detects a strong
shock to the vehicle, it will trigger the alarm
for 30 seconds. (See DUAL-STAGE SHOCK
SENSOR on page 7 for more details)

l If a thief opens a door, the alarm immedi-
ately sounds the siren and flashes the
parking lights for 30 seconds. If the opened
door is not closed and current sensing has
not been selected, the siren and lights will
trigger up to three 30-second cycles, after
which the alarm will re-arm.
l The engine immobiliser prevents the engine
from being started with a key.
l The Automatic Engine Immobiliser will
disable the engine automatically after 10
minutes, even if you forget to set the alarm.
l Turning the ignition key ON will trigger the
alarm for 30 seconds.
l Optional UNIDEN glass-break & microwave
sensors and additional engine immobiliser
relays will offer additional protection. For
more info, please ask your UNIDEN dealer.

ARMING
There are two different ways to arm your alarm.
Tell your dealer which is best for you:
q Active Arming - (Default setting)
Means : Using the remote to arm the alarm.
1. Turn your ignition OFF and close all
doors.
2. Press remote control button #1.
l If the siren chirps and parking lights flash
once, the alarm is fully armed.
l If the siren chirps and parking lights flash
3 times, the alarm has armed, but is
waiting for the vehicle's delayed interior
lights to turn OFF (if your vehicle is so
equipped), or it is telling you that one of
the alarm's zones (door or bonnet or boot)
is either open or is not functioning
properly (see ZONE BYPAS S, below).
Also, check to make sure the interior light
switch was not accidentally left on.
q Passive Arming
Means : Relying on the last door closed to
arm the alarm.
Turn the ignition OFF, and open a door to exit
the vehicle.
When the last door is closed and the delayed
interior light turns OFF, (if your vehicle is so
equipped), the siren chirps and the parking
lights flash once. The LED now flashes
quickly .
l The alarm has now entered a 30 second
arming countdown, after which the siren
chirps and parking lights flash once more
to confirm the alarm is completely armed.
l If you wish, you can open a door during the
30-second arming countdown, and keep it
open for as long as needed. The LED turns
OFF while the door is opened. When
finished, once again close the last door, and
the siren will chirp and parking lights flash
once to show the 30-second arming
countdown has started again. The LED will
also begin to flash quickly.
l If you close the last open door, and the siren
does not chirp and parking lights do not
flash, you know that one or more doors are
not closed properly. This is a patented Quick
and Quiet Testing (Q.Q.T.™) feature.
l It prevents you from thinking your alarm is armed
when it may not be. In this case, double-check
that all the doors, as well as the bonnet and
boot, are closed properly, and that your
vehicle's interior lights are OFF. If you cannot
locate the problem, but need to arm the
alarm, then press button #1 to immediately
arm the alarm and bypass whatever zone is
open (see ZONE BYPASS, below).
NOTE — Under passive arming, you can force
your alarm to arm immediately any time during
the 30-second arming countdown by pressing
remote control button #1.
Note — There are references to opening or
closing a door throughout this manual.
"Door" also includes bonnet and boot, if they
are protected. Ask your dealer.
ARMED
When the 30-sec. arming countdown ends, or
when remote control button #1 is pressed to arm
the alarm, the siren chirps and parking lights
ZONE BYPASS
When you press button #1 to arm the alarm,
and the alarm responds with three chirps and
three light flashes, there are two possibilities:
A. Delayed interior lights — If your interior lights
do not immediately turn OFF when you close
your car door (in other words, your vehicle
has delayed interior lights), this is normal.
The alarm should protect all the openings
once the interior lights go OFF.
B. A zone was bypassed — In other words, the
alarm has armed, but a hardwired door is
not protected (either because it is open, or
Page 4
flash once, and the LED starts flashing
to show the alarm is armed.
because its door switch is broken). If the
bypassed door is later closed, it will be
restored (no siren chirp or light flash).
If your alarm indicates a bypassed zone, find the
cause as soon as possible to ensure your vehicle
is completely protected. For instance, if your
driver's door is not properly closed when you arm
your alarm, a thief may be able to open any
door without setting off the alarm.
NOTE — The three zone bypass confirm chirps
will not sound if chirp OFF is engaged. However,
the parking lights will still flash three times. (See
SILENT ARM / DISARM on page 6).
SENSOR BYPASS
This is useful if you know, based on experience,
that your shock, glass-break, or other add-on
sensor will false trigger, such as when you park
near a construction site or other harsh environment.
To bypass your alarm's sensors,
1. Press button #1 to arm the alarm. The siren
chirps and the parking lights flash once (three
times if a zone is bypassed) to confirm
armed.
2. Within 3 seconds, press button #2.
The siren chirps 3 times and the parking
lights flash 3 times to confirm sensors are
bypassed.
DISARMING
To disarm the alarm, press button #1.
The siren chirps twice, the parking lights flash
twice, and the LED turns OFF.
q Auto Re-Arm - After disarming, if your
alarm has been set to auto re-arm, a 30
second automatic re-arming period begins.
After 30 secs. the alarm will automatically
re-arm.
Once re-armed, the siren chirps and the
parking lights flash one time, and the LED
starts flashing.
Note - Opening a door within 30 seconds
will cancel auto re-arm and the alarm will
be completely dis-armed.
q Auto Re-Lock - After disarming, if the
alarm has been connected with optional
central locking, the doors will re-lock
automatically after 30 seconds (unless a
door is opened).

EMERGENCY CALL FOR HELP (PANIC)
To trigger the alarm in an emergency (armed or
disarmed), press and hold remote control button
#1 for 3 seconds. The siren sounds and the
parking lights flash for about 30 seconds. Stop
the siren and the parking lights any time by
pressing button #1 again.
Regardless of whether the alarm was armed or
disarmed when panic was acticvated, the doors
will unlock (if the remote controlled door locks
are connected).

VALET
Sometimes you may not wish your alarm to
arm when you leave your vehicle. (For
instance, if you leave your vehicle with a valet
attendant, you may not want to teach him how
the alarm operates.). If your alarm is set for
active (remote control) arming, this is easy —
don’t press button #1, and the alarm will not
arm. However, if your alarm is set to arm
passively, use the valet mode to prevent it from
arming.
To enter Valet Mode
turn the ignition ON, and press and release
the VALET button 3 times. The alarm is now in
the valet mode. The siren chirps once to
confirm. (Ask your dealer where the Valet
Button is hidden)

EMERGENCY DISARM
If you lose your remote control, you can disarm
your alarm with the ignition key and “VALET”
button. While your alarm is either armed or
triggered, turn the ignition switch ON, then
To exit Valet Mode
ignition ON, and press and
release the VALET button 3
times. The siren chirps twice to confirm valet is
exited and that the alarm is now disarmed.
While your alarm is in valet, the LED flashes
slowly when the ignition switch is OFF so
thieves think the alarm is armed. If you press
remote control button #1 while the alarm is in
valet, the doors will lock or unlock, and the
parking lights will flash four times. The alarm's
emergency call for help (panic) operates
normally.
NOTE — If you trigger the alarm by doing
emergency call for help (panic) while the alarm
is in valet, the alarm will exit Valet Mode.
press and release the VALET button 3 times.
The siren and the flashing lights stop, and the
alarm is disarmed. The alarm is now in Valet
Mode. To exit Valet Mode, follow the procedure

SILENT ARM / DISARM
There are times, especially at night, when you
may not want to hear the siren chirps.
q One-time silent arm / disarm — Just
press button #2 any time before you need
the chirps to be silent. For instance, press
button #2 before you press button #1 to
arm or disarm the alarm, and the chirps
will not sound, but the parking lights will
still flash. The chirps are restored the next
time you press a remote control button.
q Chirp Control ON/OFF — Chirp OFF
provides permanent silent arm / disarm.
(This is a programmable feature. Please ask
your dealer if you wish to use this feature)
POWER DOOR LOCKS
Your alarm can automatically lock the doors when
armed, and unlock the doors when disarmed.
(Optional accessories may be required)
q Alarm Set For Active Arming - The doors
lock and unlock any time remote control
button #1 is pressed. For extra security, they
lock automatically if the alarm is triggered.
(Exception — See EMERGENCY CALL FOR
HELP, page 6.)
q Alarm Set For Passive Arming - The doors
lock 30 seconds after the last door is closed.

VS1100XR Operating Guide
DUAL-STAGE SHOCK SENSOR
Your alarm includes a dual-stage shock sensor.
The first stage (pre-intrusion alert) warns thieves
the alarm is armed. For instance, the alarm will
chirp and parking lights flash 3 times if the
sensor detects a light bump to the vehicle.
However, if the thief attacks the vehicle with
sufficient force, the alarm will trigger. (Your
dealer can make the shock sensor more or less
sensitive to attack, depending on your vehicle.)
Note — that the shock sensor will not be ready
to trigger the alarm until four seconds after the
alarm is armed.
OTHER FEATURES
• Multi-Point Engine Immobiliser — This
alarm can support up to 3 engine immobiliser
relays. One is supplied as standard so that
when your alarm is armed, your vehicle will not
start.
• Automatic Engine Immobiliser — With the
engine immobiliser relay(s) fitted the engine will
be automatically disabled 10 minutes after the
ignition is switched off, (even if the alarm has

times when you disarm your alarm. This
memory is automatically cancelled when you
turn the ignition switch ON.
• Triggered Zone Indication — With this feature,
your LED will flash for 30 seconds after you
disarm the alarm following an activation. The
number of flashes can be used to determine the
activated zone. Please refer to page 8 for more
details on this feature.
• 2nd car operation — With this feature, your
remote controls can operate a UNIDEN
compatible alarm in another car. Operation for
both cars is the same, except that the functions
