ARMING THE SYSTEM - ACTIVE
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood lid
and trunk lid.
2. Press and release Lock/Arm button on the keychain transmitter.
The dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly. Parking Lights flash
one time.
Siren sounds one chirp.
If the siren/horn sounds 3 chirps, then you have left a door, trunk,
or hood lid ajar. Simply close the opened entry point to provide full
protection. If the siren "chirped" three times, sometime after arm-
ing, the exclusive, patented, delayed dome light learn circuit has
been programmed and the system detected a open entry point after the
learned delay expired. Again, closing the hood, trunk, or doors will correct
the problem and you do not need to disarm the system to make the correction.
If the siren/horn did not sound when arming, then the chirps have been
turned off and you should refer to the section titled "ELIMINATING THE ARM/
DISARM CHIRPS" in this manual.
NOTE: If selectable feature 9, Chirp Delete From Transmitter, was set to the on position during
installation, then you can selectively defeat the arm & disarm chirps by holding the transmitters Lock
or Unlock button for about 2 seconds.
Note: If Passive Arm Mode was selected on during installation, then 30 seconds after the last
vehicle door is closed, the unit will arm automatically.
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 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.
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.
Optional - 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.
Any mild impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to sound a short series of warning tones.
Any strong impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to trigger for the full 30 second alarm cycle.
NOTE: If the optional interior illumination circuit was installed, the interior light will flash as well for the full 30
second alarm cycle.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
1. As you approach the vehicle, press and release the Unlock/Disarm button on the keychain transmitter.
The dash mounted LED turns off. If passive arming is selected on, the LED will start flashing rapidly, indicating
that the system is re-arming automatically. Open any door to suspend the automatic arming. Parking Lights flash
two times. If the parking lights flashed three times, then the alarm was triggered in your absence. Before
turning the key on, examine the LED to identify which zone was triggered. Siren sounds two chirps. If the
siren sounds 4 chirps, then the alarm was triggered in your absence. Before turning the key on, examine the
LED and refer to the INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS section of this manual to identify which zone was
triggered.
If the siren did not sound when disarming, then the chirps have been turned off
and you should refer to the section titled “ELIMINATING THE ARM / DISARM CHIRPS“ in this manual.
Doors Unlock - Optional
NOTE: If the optional Interior illumination feature has been added as an added convenience, the system will
turn on the interior lights when the system is disarmed.
WHILE THE SYSTEM IS SOUNDING
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 Unlock/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
playing near your vehicle that may accidently trigger your security system. In this case you can cancel the
siren sounding without disarming your alarm.
INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS
This system will inform you if an intrusion attempt has occurred while you were away from the vehicle. If an
