Important Information

By carefully reading this guide prior to using your system, you will

maximize the use of this system and its features. This system has

been designed to provide years of trouble-free operation. Due to its

complexity, it must be installed by an authorized dealer only. In-

stallation of this product by anyone other than an authorized dealer

voids the warranty. All dealers are provided with preprinted dealer

certificates to verify that they are authorized.

This system does not require any specific maintenance. Each remote

is powered by a miniature 3-volt battery, type 2032, that lasts ap-

proximately one year under normal use. When the battery weakens,

the LED on the remote will dim and flash quickly whenever it is used.

System Maintenance

Your warranty card must be returned and the barcode serial number

must not be removed. If the warranty card is not returned, you do

not have a warranty. It is also necessary to keep your proof of pur-

chase, which reflects that the product was installed by an authorized

dealer. Make sure you receive the warranty card from your dealer.

This device complies with part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject

to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harm-

ful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference

received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the

party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority

to operate this device.

Transmitter Functions

Your vehicle security system is programmable, making it possible to

assign any button on the remote to any specific receiver function.

The transmitter initially comes programmed with the Standard Con-

figuration, but may also be customized by an authorized dealer. Unless

otherwise specified, all instructions in this manual assume opera-

tion using the Standard Configuration.

FCC/ID Notice

all instructions in this owner’s guide assume operation using the

Standard Configuration.

Using Your System

The buttons described in all instructions in this manual correspond

to the standard configuration, unless otherwise specified.

You can arm the security system and lock your vehicle’s doors (if

connected) by pressing for one second. When the system arms,

you will hear a short siren sound (chirp) and the parking lights will

flash once. Once armed, the status LED will flash twice per second

to indicate that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If

you hear a second chirp after arming and notice that the status LED

is flashing in a grouped pattern, this signals Bypass Notification,

which is described in the Diagnostics section of this manual.

The system can also be programmed to arm itself automatically 30

seconds after the ignition is turned off and the last vehicle door has

been closed (called Passive Arming). Once the 30-second countdown

period initiates, the status LED will flash twice as fast as it does

when the system is armed. After 20 seconds, the siren will chirp once
