How to interpret the LED status indicator
The LED on your car’s dashboard or console will inform you of the system status:
LED Condition Meaning
Off
System is disarmed and in normal operating mode (i.e., valet mode is off)
On
Valet mode is on, the vehicle can be driven or serviced without having to disarm
Flashing (ignition off)
System is armed and protecting your vehicle
Flashing (ignition on)
Anti-carjacking feature was activated — 20-second countdown to engine shutdown:
Enter your disarming code IMMEDIATELY
Pause between flashes
Either a malfunction (see page 15) or an intrusion was attempted (see page 17)
High-output Medallion™ Siren
All the electronics for the system’s siren are built into your Concept 50’s main control
unit, rather than the siren itself. This protects the circuitry from engine heat, dirt and
exposure to the elements (in contrast, the electronics of other alarm companies’ sirens are
part of the siren itself and, therefore, far more susceptible to failure). In addition to greatly
enhancing long-term reliability, your Concept 50 also provides these additional features:
Personalized Siren Sounds: Most alarm sirens have a single “warble” tone. A few
offer “six-tone” sirens that either cannot be adjusted or require the physical
destruction of certain circuit wires in order to change the sounds (the change is
permanent and cannot be changed again). Your Concept 50 Medallion Siren
circuitry is different. As shipped from the factory, the siren sounds six different
alarm sound patterns. However, you may turn any of the six different alarm sound
patterns on or off to create a different combination of sound patterns. In all, there
are 64 different combinations you may select. You may set your own Personalized
Siren Sounds so if you hear a siren at a distance, you will know for sure whether it
is your car or someone else’s. See User-selectable features on pages 19–21.
QuietChirps™: You can control the volume of the normal arm/disarm chirps. As
shipped from the factory, your system issues full-volume chirp acknowledgments. If
you prefer, you may reduce the chirp volume to a level that is clearly audible, yet
less obtrusive. See the User-selectable features section on pages 19–21.
Long-term chirp silencing: Whenever you wish, you may silence your Concept
50’s arm/disarm chirps until you decide to restore them. The parking light flashes
will continue to provide visual confirmation of remote controlled arming and
disarming. See
User-selectable features
on pages 19–21, also see the
Remote
QuickAccess features on page 16.
Remote controlled chirp muting: Remote controlled chirp muting capabilities are
especially valuable when parking late at night in a quiet residential area. To arm or
disarm silently, simply press button 3 (channel 3) on your remote control instead of
the usual button 1 (channel 1).
Siren duration: When the system detects an intrusion attempt, the alarm is set to
sound for 30 seconds. However, if you prefer, you may change it to 60 seconds.
