4 Button Remote Security System

with Dual Stage Shock Sensor

IMPORTANT !

In order to provide the highest possible level of security to your vehicle, this

system is equipped with selectable manual override circuitry. It is possible that you will need

to manually override your security system if the transmitter becomes lost, or inoperative due

to battery failure. Reading the sections on "MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM" is

necessary to fully understand the procedure required to enable your vehicle in such

situations. In addition, the chart on the last page of this manual has a section for the particular

features and options installed in your vehicle as well as the override method selected.

Valet Switch manual override is pre-selected from the factory,

however, the system

can be configured for "Custom Code" operation. Confirm the override mode selected on the

last page of this manual, and familiarize yourself with the selection on it's operation.

YOUR“ANTICODEGRABBING“TRANSMITTERS

The transmitters included with your new security system use the most advanced

and secure form of radio frequency transmission available on any current

automotive security system. Some of today’s sophisticated auto thieves use a

device known as a code grabber, which will receive and store the signal from your

keychain transmitter, and retransmit at a later time to disarm your system.

Your anti code grabbing transmitters will change their signal every time the button

is pressed, so when a thief grabs then retransmits your signal, the alarm system

will not

respond.

If your transmitter button is pressed more than fifty times while it is out of range of

the vehicle ( children playing with your keys ), the transmitter will not operate when

you return to the vehicle and will need to be realigned to the receiver. To do this,

simply press the lock button two times within a one second time period. The

system will now respond to that transmitter each time a button is pressed.

NOTE: Your system has the option of using a siren, the vehicle horn, or both for

the sounding device. Where the siren is referenced below, the horn or

both may in fact chirp, or beep.

1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close and lock all doors, hood lid and

trunk lid.þRed dash mounted LED begins to flash rapidly, indicating 30 sec-

ond passive arming has begun.

2. Opening any protected entry point during the 30 second passive arming cycle

will immediately suspend automatic arming and the 30 second passive

arming cycle will restart when all doors are closed. At the end of the passive

arming cycle;

þRed dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly.

þParking Lights flash one time.

þSiren sounds one chirp

If the siren did not sound when arming, then the chirps have

been turned off, and you should refer to the section titled

"ELIMINATING THEARM / DISARM CHIRPS" in this manual.

oDoors 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.

PROTECTIONWHILETHESYSTEM IS ARMED

þOpening 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.

þWhenever 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.

þWhenever the system is triggered, the vehicle’s parking lights will flash

for the full 30 second alarm cycle, attracting visual attention to the

vehicle.

oOptional - 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.

þAny mild impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to sound a

short series of warning tones.

þAny strong impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to trigger

for the full 30 second alarm cycle.

WHILETHESYSTEMISSOUNDING

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 play-

ing near your vehicle that may accidently trigger your security system. In this case

you can cancel the siren sounding without disarming your alarm.

INTRUSIONWARNINGSIGNALS

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 one time...pause...one time...pause...etc., then an

intrusion attempt was made to the shock sensor, or an accessory

triggering device that may have been added to the system.

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.

VALETSWITCH

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,

turns on. The LED will remain on as long as the system is in valet mode.

Page 6

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.

MANUALLYOVERRIDINGYOURSYSTEM:

USINGTHEVALETSWITCH 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 item 3 under the heading VALET SWITCH.

Programming Your Custom Override Code:

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 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

Page 7

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.

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.

MANUALLYOVERRIDINGYOURSYSTEM:

USINGTHE CUSTOMCODEOVERRIDE

Assuming the override code programmed has not been changed, and the default

override code of 11 is in the system's memory.

Page 8

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.

ELIMINATING THENORMALARM/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.

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.

REMOTEPANICOPERATION

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.
