The microprocessor at the heart of your system has the ability to
constantly monitor all of the switches and sensors connected to it.
It can detect any faulty switches or sensors and prevent them from
disabling the entire system. It can also record and report any
triggers that occur when you are away from your vehicle.
If the system is armed at the same time that an input is active
(door opening, sensor triggering, etc.), you will hear one chirp to
indicate arming and a second chirp a few seconds later to indicate
Bypass Notification. A Bypass Notification chirp means that the
system ignores the input that was active when the system was
armed, until that input ceases. Three seconds after that input
ceases, the system will resume normal monitoring. For example, if
your vehicle has an interior light exit delay and you arm the system
before the light turns off, you may hear a Bypass Notification chirp.
Three seconds after the light turns off, normal monitoring resumes.
NOTE: Bypass Notification does not occur when the system is in Silent
Mode
or if the chirps have been programmed not to sound.
Your system has a Tamper Alert feature that notifies you of system
triggers that occur while you are away from your vehicle. If you
hear four chirps when you disarm, this indicates that the system
