Remote Arming
When Armed, the system monitors and protects 5 independent areas, or zones, including the
ignition switch, doors, hood/trunk, Logic Sensor II, and an optional sensor.
To Arm the System:
1. Turn off the ignition.
2. Press Button 1.
• The siren will chirp once.*
• The doors will lock.
• The parking lights will flash once.
The LED will turn on red, indicating the ignition, doors, hood and trunk inputs are
activated.
* The siren chirp(s) during Arming will alert you the condition of the system and vehicle when the system is
armed.
1 chirp = normal arming
1 + 3 chirps = Logic Sensor II sensitivity is off
1 + 4 chirps = door, hood, or trunk open
During Arming, if the system detects a bad sensor or an open zone, the system will ignore that input, but keep
all other areas protected.
3. After 20 seconds:
• The LED will begin blinking, indicating that the sensor inputs are activated.
While the system is Armed, the system will trigger if:
• The ignition key is turned on.
• The doors are opened.
• The Logic Sensor II detects an impact to the vehicle or the motion of the car being raised.
• The hood or trunk is opened.
• Aconnected optional sensor is disturbed.
When triggered, the siren will sound, the horn will honk, and the parking lights will flash. If
the system is triggered by the ignition, doors, hood, or trunk, the system will alarm for 40
seconds. If triggered by the sensor inputs, the system will alarm for 20 seconds.
If the same input triggers the system 3 times during a single arming cycle, the system will
bypass that input, keeping the other zones protected, until the next time the system is
armed.
If the Logic Sensor II detects a light impact to the car or a connected optional sensor triggers
the system’s Warn Away input, the siren will sound a chirp to warn away the potential
intruder.
