Audiovox PRO 9549FT3 User manual

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 situa-

tions. 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 “ ANTI CODE GRABBING “ 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 re transmit 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 re transmits 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 re aligned to the receiver. To do this, simply press button 1 two

times within a one second time period. The system will now respond to that transmitter each

time a button is pressed.

THE INFORMATION IN THIS MANUALREFERS TO THE TRANSMITTER SHOWN

ON THE LEFT.

This transmitter can be configured in a number of different ways. If your

transmitter appears different than what is shown, please note specific infor-

mation concerning the Icon buttons listed on page 9.

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

Red dash mounted L.E.D. begins to flash rapidly, indicating 30 second passive

arming has begun.

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

ately suspend automatic arming, and the 30 second passive arming cycle will re start

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

Red dash mounted L.E.D. begins to flash slowly.

Doors Lock

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 L.E.D. indicator will slowly

flash. This serves as a visual deterrent to the potential thief. The L.E.D. is a very low

current bulb, and will not cause the vehicle’s battery to drain, even when left unat-

tended 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 triggered, the vehicle’s horn will beep for the full 30 second

alarm cycle, attracting added attention to the vehicle.

Whenever the system is triggered, the interior courtesy lights will flash for the full 30

second alarm cycle.

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.

OPTIONAL Any strong impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to trigger for

the full 30 second alarm cycle.

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

Page 6

the red dash mounted L.E.D. to identify which zone was triggered.

If the L.E.D. is flashing one time...pause...one time...pause...etc., then an intrusion

attempt was made to the OPTIONAL shock sensor, or an accessory triggering

device that may have been added to the system.

If the L.E.D. is flashing two times...pause...two times...pause...etc., then an intru-

sion 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 L.E.D. 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.

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 activating your personalized manual override

code.

1. Enter the vehicle, and turn the ignition key to the on position.

2. Move the valet toggle switch to the on position. The dash mounted L.E.D. will turn

on solid, and remain on as long as the system is in valet mode.

3. To return to normal operation, move the valet switch back to the off position any

time the ignition is on.

NOTE : Always remember to move the valet switch back to the off position. This will ensure

that the vehicle remains protected at all times.

MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM:

USING THE VALET 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. Start with the Valet Switch in the off position.

3. Turn the ignition key to the on position.

4. Within 5 seconds, turn the valet switch to the on position.

The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the valet, (by-passed) mode. This is indicated

by the dash mounted LED turning on. You can now start and operate the vehicle normally.

Typically this override mode is used only if the transmitter has become inoperative. After

repair or replacement of the transmitter, returning the system to the full operation mode is

necessary. To do so, see item 3 under the heading VALET SWITCH.

Page 7

PROGRAMMING THE CUSTOM CODE 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 disarm the system if you lose your transmitter, or

if the transmitter battery fails.

If your system has been selected for Custom Code manual override as indicated on the last

page of this manual, in order to provide the highest level of security, this system will allow you

to program your personal manual override code. This code isa(2)digit code. The first digit

must be a digit from 1 through 9, and the second digit must be either 1, 2, or 3.

To program your access code, the security system must be in the disarmed state. Once

disarmed, program your code as follows;

1. Turn the ignition key on, then off, then on.

2. Within 3 seconds of step 1, flip the Valet switch on, then off. The siren will sound

one short chirp, followed by one long chirp. This indicates that the system is in

the manual override programming mode.

3. The red dash L.E.D. will begin to count by flashing. Allow the L.E.D. to flash until

it gets to the first digit of your selected code.

4. As soon as the L.E.D. turns on for the corresponding number of your first digit,

quickly turn the ignition key;

1. off then on for second digit 1

2. off then on twice for second digit 2

3. off then on three times for second digit 3.

5. The siren will sound one short chirp, followed by one long chirp, indicating that

the code has been memorized.

6. After a 2 second pause, the L.E.D. will flash confirmation of the stored code,

beginning with the first digit, then a pause, then the second digit.

EXAMPLE : To program the manual override code 52, you would;

1. Turn the ignition key on, then off, then on.

2. Within 3 seconds of step 1, flip the Valet switch on, then off. The siren will sound

one short chirp, followed by one long chirp. This indicates that the system is in

the manual override programming mode.

3. Allow the L.E.D. to flash 5times, and during or immediately after the fifth flash,

quickly turn the ignition key to off, then on, then off, then on.

4. The siren will sound one short chirp, followed by one long chirp, indicating that

the code has been memorized.

5. After a 2 second pause, the L.E.D. will flash 5times, then pause, then flash 2

times. This confirms that the code 52 has been stored into memory.

USING THE CUSTOM CODE MANUAL OVERRIDE

It is very important that you understand how to operate the manual override feature, as there

may a time that you will need to bypass the alarm when your transmitter is not working. You

should also write down your personalized code number, and keep it in a safe place for future

reference.

To by pass the alarm,

Page 8

1. Open the door. The alarm will sound.

2. Turn the ignition key to the on position. The alarm will stop for three seconds,

then the siren will begin counting with long chirps.

3. As soon as the chirp that corresponds with your first digit sounds, quickly turn

the ignition key ;

1. off then on if your second digit is 1

2. off then on twice if your second digit is 2

3. off then on three times if your second digit is 3.

4. The alarm will stop sounding, and you can now start the vehicle.

EXAMPLE : To override the system using the example 52 above, you would,

1. Open the door. The alarm will sound.

2. Turn the ignition key to the on position. The alarm will stop for three seconds,

then the siren will begin counting with long chirps.

3. As soon as the fifth chirp has sounded, quickly turn the ignition key off then on

then off then on.

4. The alarm is now disarmed.

IMPORTANT NOTE : If you elect not to program a personalized manual override code, the

factory pre set code is 11. To override the alarm with this code,

1. Open the door. The alarm will sound.

2. Turn the ignition key to the on position. The alarm will stop for three seconds,

then the siren will sound a long chirp.

3. As soon as the chirp has sounded, quickly turn the ignition key off then on.

4. The alarm is now disarmed.

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. Start with the valet switch in the off position, then turn the ignition key on then

off.

2. Within 10 seconds, move the valet switch to on then off 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.

REMOTE PANIC OPERATION

The ARM / 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 / 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 / DISARM button on the transmitter

again for 3 seconds. If the button is not pressed, the alarm will automatically

stop after 30 seconds.

NOTE : All normal transmitter functions will operate in the panic mode.
