RF-303 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

A. REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER OPERATION

The remote control transmitters (XT-56 ) included with the RF-303 offer the

code rolling feature which will prevent illegal use of a code-grabber with an

attempt to record the code of your transmitter.

1. ARM/DISARM

TO ARM THE RF-303

Press the ON/OFF button once to

arm. The vehicle horn or siren will

chirp one (1) time, the parking lights

will flash one (1) time, and all doors

will lock (**).

TO DISARM THE RF-303

Press the ON/OFF button once to

disarm. The vehicle horn or siren

will chirp two (2) times, the parking

lights will flash two (2) times, and all

doors will unlock (**).

NOTE (*) The RF-303 is designed to honk the vehicle’s factory horn on alarm

arm/disarm, and during actual alarm trigger, or the included electronic siren can

be installed by your AutoPage Authorized Dealer to take the place of the audible

horn signal.

NOTE (**) Your vehicle must be equipped with power door locks. Optional

relays may be required. The door lock/unlock outputs of the RF-303 are not

ON/OFF AUX

designed to operate vacuum/electric door lock systems, found on certain European

vehicles. See manual for other door lock functions and/or options.

2. TEMPORARY ARM/DISARM CHIRP DELETE FROM REMOTE

(Vehicle horn, siren)

Upon approaching the vehicle (whether armed or disarmed) push the AUX

button on the remote transmitter for half (0.5) second, then very quickly push the

ON/OFF button on the transmitter to arm or disarm in the usual manner. The

ARM/DISARM chirp sound will be silenced only for this particular arming or

disarming cycle. The above described sequence must be repeated each time it is

desired to cancel the ARM/DISARM chirp sound.

3. PANIC FUNCTION

The RF-303 remote control may be used as a remote panic switch to trigger the

horn or siren in cases of emergency. To activate the PANIC FUNCTION press

and hold the ON/OFF button on the remote transmitter for a minimum of three

(3) seconds. The vehicle horn or optional siren will sound. To stop the PANIC

FUNCTION press the ON/OFF button on the transmitter.

4. REMOTE CONTROL TRUNK/HATCH RELEASE

(Optional at time of installation)

The RF-303 remote transmitter may be used to release your vehicle’s trunk or

hatch release. (*) To remotely release the vehicle trunk or hatch, approach the

vehicle and press the ON/OFF button on the remote control transmitter to

disarm the RF-303. Then press the AUX button on the remote transmitter for

three (3) seconds. The trunk or hatch will automatically release. (**)

NOTE (*) Your vehicle must be equipped with an electronic trunk or hatch

release.

NOTE (**) If you do not intend to drive the vehicle, you must rearm the RF-

303.

5. PRE-WARNING SENSOR CIRCUIT (Optional at time of installation)

The RF-303 offers an option to pre-warn possible violators with vehicle horn, or

siren chirps before triggering the alarm. The alarm will trigger with the third

violation within 15 seconds. Purchase of an optional sensor will be required.

To temporarily delete the pre-warning sensor, in cases where the vehicle will be

subject to heavy traffic, or large numbers of passing pedestrians, press the

ON/OFF button again within five (5) seconds after arming. The vehicle horn, or

siren will confirm the delete command with a low chirp sound.

NOTE: The deleted pre-warning sensor will automatically return to normal

operation upon disarming the RF-303. The pre-warning sensor delete operation

must be followed each time the RF-303 is armed. This operation deletes only

the pre-warning sensor of the alarm. The factory default setting of this feature is

OFF.

NOTE: If the alarm has been installed to sound the vehicle’s horn

instead of a siren, use of the pre-warn circuit will not be possible.

6. CHANGING THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER BATTERY

The RF-303 remote transmitter

uses one (1) 12 volt miniature

battery, #EL12, #VR22, or Radio

Shack #23-144. It will provide

approximately one year of

operation before replacement is

necessary

To replace the battery, carefully remove the case screw located at the end of the

remote transmitter where the key ring attaches to its case. Use a small blade

Phillips screwdriver. Before removing the battery note the direction of its

terminals. Install the new battery exactly the same, using caution so as not to

bend, or otherwise damage the battery contacts. Replace the case cover and

carefully tighten the screw. Do not over-tighten the screw. Test the transmitter

to be sure it arms and disarms the alarm.

B. LED STATUS INDICATOR OPERATION

1. LED OFF = The RF-303 is disarmed.

2. LED CONSTANT ON = Indicates opens trigger circuit.

3. LED FAST FLASHING = Passive arming timer is counting down.

4. LED FLASHING = The RF-303 is armed.

5. LED FLASHING IN A 2 FLASH/HOLD SEQUENCE = Alarm breach.

NOTE: If the automatic rearm feature was chosen at the time of installation, a

door must be opened after disarming. If a door is not opened, the RF-303 will

automatically rearm in 60 seconds, and the LED will continue to flash. See

Section (F ) AUTOMATIC REARMING for details.
