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

This VS2000XR is equipped with a 2-stage, pre-intrusion, electromagnetic shock sensor. If the vehicle is lightly tapped, the first stage sensor will cause the alarm siren to "chirp.“ This feature provides a pre-intrusion warning to would-be thieves. If a harder impact is made to the vehicle, the second stage sensor will activate the alarm and sound the siren., ' ,
' I '
PATENTED, 2-STAGE, PRE-INTRUSION, GLASS BREAK SENSOR (BUILT-IN)
If a window is tapped, the alarm will "chirp" to warn off would-be thieves. If the window is broken, however, the alarm will be triggered. The glass break sensor discriminates between environmental noises and the sound of breaking glass and comes with a remote microphone.

ALARM DURATION, SIREN AND FLASHING LIGHT

If the alarm is triggered, it will sound four 30-second cycles with a 10-second pause between cycles. For example, if the door is opened by an intruder, the alarm will
automatically sound for 30 seconds. If the door has not been shut before the end of the 30-second cycle, the alarm will continue to sound for three more cycles and then
stop sounding. During this time the lights wilt flash in 40-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,

FOUR-FUNCTION LED

The alarm brain red LED has four useful functions:
• The RF transmitter-receiver can be tested by pressing 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 VS2000XR 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 VS2000XR is neither armed nor in the valet mode, the LED will be off,

DOMELIGHT SUPERVISION OUTPUT (optional)

For added protection at night or in dark parking lots, the interior domelight turns on
for 15 seconds when disarming.

RADIO PROTECTION

Your VS2000XR provides a special option for protecting valuable electronic equipment in your vehicle, such as a CB, cellular phone or stereo. An attempt to
remove a piece of protected equipment will trigger the alarm.
V.E.T. SWITCH & OPERATION CHART

CONGRATULATIONS

From the moment you purchased this VS2000XR Vehicle Security System, you became a part of the UNIDEN family. You started taking advantage of over 23 years of advanced security engineering. You joined a team of engineers, technicians, designers, and people like yourself who know how important protecting your car is. You discovered the UNIDEN difference.
This difference is important because the VS2000XR is more than an alarm. It is complete peace of mind. It is knowing that your car is protected around the clock by its own security guard— one that never sleeps, never takes a break.

Welcome to the family: UNIDEN, your dealer, and you!

OPERATING THE VS2000XR

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK AND FLASHING LIGHTS

Your VS2Û00XR offers the convenience of automatically locking and unlocking your car’s doors and flashing the lights when the car is armed and disarmed. This may require the addition of certain optional accessories, and you should discuss with your professional UNIDEN dealer about whether or not you wish to have them installed with your alarm.
This manual assumes you are using the power door lock control and flashing light features of your VS2000XR. If you decide not to use these features, just disregard any references to them.

ARMING THE VS2000XR

If active arming is selected, the alarm will arm instantly after pressing the transmitter's button #1. A 'CHIRP' will be heard, the parking lights will flash once and the car doors will lock to signify that the alarm is armed.
If passive arming is selected, the alarm will automatically arm itself and lock the car doors 15 seconds after all doors are dosed. A 'CHIRP" will be heard and the parking lights will flash once after the last door is closed, to confirm that alarm is arming. During the delay period of 15 seconds, you can temporarily stop the arming of VS2C00XR simply
by opening a door. This lets you re-enter the car without having to first disarm the alarm.
When finished, close the door and the alarm will recommence arming.
In either case, if you do not hear a chirp or see the flashing of the parking lights, the alarm
is informing you that a door has not been closed properly and therefore the alarm won't arm. This remarkable patented fail-safe feature stops you from walking away thinking your car is protected when it is not. {Your UNIDEN professional installer can turn this
■CHIRP'off, if you desire.)

DISARMING THE VS2000XR

If passive arming is selected, first press the transmitter's button #1 (the alarm will chirp j
twice, parking lights will flash twice and the car doors will unlock). Then, open a door ^
within 15 seconds (If a door is not opened within 15 seconds, the alarm will rearm itself).
Finally, turn ON the ignition key to stop rearming . This VS2000XR's patented 3-step
disarming process prevents accidental disarming.
if active arming is used, you can choose Auto rearm or Permanent disarm mode, in auto rearm mode, the alarm will rearm itself unless a door is opened within 15 seconds after pressing the transmitter's button #1. In Permanent disarm mode, pressing the transmitter’s button #1 will disarm the alarm permanently. In either mode, two chirps will be heard, two flashing parking lights will be seen and the car doors will unlock after pressing the transmitter's button #1.

CAR LOCATOR AND TAMPER INDICATOR WHILE DISARM

Two long flashes show the car's location when the alarm is disarmed by the transmitter. The VS2000XR will nohfy the owner of any prior attempt to break into the car.
If the alarm has been triggered, the lights will flash seven times [instead of twice) when
the transmitter is used to disarm the|alarm. Switching on the ignition will reset the memory.

EMERGENCY CALL FOR HELP (PANIC MODE)

You can sound the siren by turning off the ignition key and holding down transmitter
button #l for three seconds. The siren will begin to sound, chasing away would-be
attackers and alerting neighbors. However, the range of the transmitter may vary; see Trouble Shooting section, item 2,
QUIET iVlCDE
Quiet Mode allows you to use the transmitter to temporarily arm or disarm the alarm without chirps. By pressing Button if2 and then, within 10 seconds, pressing button #1, the alarm will either arm or disarm without chirping for that one time only. When you arrive home at night and want to arm your alanm without disturbing your neighbor, Quiet Mode lets you aim your car without the awakening siren chirps. ,
2nd CHANNEL OUTPUT (optional)
Pressing button #2 of your transmitter for 3 seconds triggers the second channel output from your alarm. This output can be used to operate optional accessories such as automatic boot release, etc. This output is operable when the ignition key is OFF. Therefore, accidentally pressing the 2nd button will not open the boot.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Your VS200GXR is an extremely reliable vehicle security system. In most cases, the rare operational difficulties are the result of a weak transmitter battery or an open car door. Below are guidelines for solving the majority of the problems you may experience, if after foliovring these guidelines you have not found the problem, contact your professional installer immediafely. '

a. Check if the Red wire has pcv/er, white the Black wire is properly grounded. b. Replace the transmitter battery and check the clips for proper polarity. c. Check that all doors are closed.
2. Transmitter works in some areas and notin other areas: This is probably due to excess RF activity in that area (usually just a short time and only while you are in Uiat area, depending on the type of the activity), it is only temporary and won't affect the alarm in other areas.
3. Alarm sounds for no apparent reason:
Be sure that the transmitter button is not being held dovm loo long, or something in your pocket or purse is not pressing against the transmitter button.
