Using Your System
The button numbers used in the descriptions correspond to the standard
configuration. Remember, this is not the only way your transmitter may be set
up. It can be configured to meet your needs
Arming
You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing Button I of your transmitter
for one second. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound, or
chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. If the vehicle’s power door locks
have been connected to the system, the doors will lock.
While the system is armed, the Status LED will flash about twice a second,
showing that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second
chirp after arming and see the Status LED flashing in groups, see Diagnostics
section. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.
The system also can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called passive
arming). If the system is programmed for passive arming, it will automatically
arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off and the system “sees” you leave
the vehicle by opening and closing a door. Whenever the system is in its
30-second passive-arming countdown, the Status LED will flash twice as fast
as it does when the system is armed. The siren will chirp one time 20 seconds
after the last door has been closed. The system is not actually armed at that
point. The system arms and the doors lock (if connected and programmed for
passive locking) at the 30 second mark, but the siren will not chirp. The early
chirp provides you with a 10-second warning prior to arming.
NOTE: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will
not passively arm (unless forced passive arming is programmed on. See Programming Options section).
Additionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
