Using your system
The buttons used in the instructions in this manual correspond to
the standard con fig u ra tion. Remember, this is not the only way
your trans mit ter may be set up. It can be custom configured to
meet your needs.
➢ Active arming
You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing
on your
transmitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear
a short siren sound, or chirp, and the parking lights will 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 approximately
once per second, indicating that the system is actively protecting
your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming, and see the
status LED flashing in groups, refer to the Diagnostics section of this
guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass No ti fi ca tion.
➢ Passive arming
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 open-
ing 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.
