YOUR “ Code Hopping “ 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 hopping 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.
Your APS-590 is also packaged with a two way confirming
transmitter shown Left which has Icon LED's to indicate the
function and status of your vehicle.
The top LED indicates:
a) Transmit, whenever a transmitter button is operated
this LED will turn on Green.
b) Out of range, when after pressing a transmitter button, if the
unit does not receive the command, this LED will turn on Red
and the transmitter will beep twice indicating the command
was not received or acted upon by the unit in the vehicle.
c) Low Battery, if when pressing any transmitter button, this
LED illuminates Red.
The Lock LED Indicates:
When the lock button on the transmitter is pressed and
the command is received and acted upon by the unit in
the vehicle, this LED will light Red and the transmitter will
beep once, then will continue flash once every 10 seconds so
you, at a glance, can determine the status of your vehicle or determine the state
it was last left in.
The Unlock LED Indicates:
When the unlock button on the transmitter is pressed and the command
is received and acted upon by the unit in the vehicle, this LED will light Red and
the transmitter will beep twice, then will continue flash once every 10 seconds
so you, at a glance, can determine the status of your vehicle or determine the
state it was last left in.
The Trunk LED Indicates:
When the Trunk transmitter button is operated for three seconds, if the
optional trunk release option is installed, the vehicle's trunk will open.
