High Security Disarm
This system proudly offers High Security Disarm. High Security Disarm is a
feature that makes it possible to silence and reset the system when it is triggering
without disarming the system. If the system is triggered, and the siren has
been sounding for longer than six seconds, pressing the disarm button on the
transmitter will stop the trigger and return the unit to the armed state. The system
will not disarm, but rather reset. This prevents you from disabling the system
should you wish to disarm it without visually checking the vehicle. Pressing
the disarm button again, after resetting the system, will disarm the system.
Pressing the disarm button on the transmitter during the first six seconds of
the triggered sequence will disarm the system immediately. The six second
timer is provided for your convenience should you trigger the system by mistake.
Disarming Without a Transmitter
This feature allows you to disarm the system without the transmitter should it
be lost, damaged or disabled. In order to disarm without a transmitter, you
must have the vehicle’s ignition key and know where the Valet button is. Be
sure to check with the installer for the location of the Valet button.
Turn ignition to "on" position. Push the Valet switch
within 15 seconds. The system should now disarm.
If it does not, you may have waited too long, so
turn the ignition off and on and try again.
IMPORTANT! The Valet switch will not disarm the optional VRS
®
feature. The hidden VRS arm/disarm switch must
be used (see VRS section.).
It is also possible to disarm the system using the Ghost Switch. Please see
the Ghost Switch™ section of this guide.
Ghost Switch
The Ghost Switch
is not a switch at all. It is a factory switch already in your
vehicle that will function as a protected disarm switch. Any factory switch in
your vehicle may be used, as long as it switches positive voltage.Your installer
can help you to determine what switches will work in your vehicle. Some ideas
are power window, radio turn-on, or defroster switches.
