OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
VALET MODE (Solid LED)
To disable the Alarm system for vehicle service or otherwise, turn the ignition on and press the
override/program button 4-5 seconds until the dash LED turns on solid and you hear (1) siren chirp. Repeat
the process to exit VALET mode and the system will chirp (2) times and the LED will turn off. Lock/Unlock and
AUX features will still operate in when in VALET mode. When performing an Emergency Override and you
hold down the override button, the system is also placed into Valet mode.
PRE-WARNING SHOCK PROTECTION & SENSOR ADJUSTMENT
If a low-level shock to the vehicle is detected, pre-warning protection will activate sounding 5 quick siren chirps
and 1 light flash. If a hard impact is detected the shock sensor should trip the alarm system. Once it is
mounted, adjust the sensor as needed by turning the adjustment screws clockwise to increase or counter-
clockwise to decrease the sensitivity. The sensor is also equipped with 2 small indicator lights to ease the
adjustment process. Blue light = Pre-warning disturbance (5 siren chirps). Red light = A full alarm trip.
ALARM TRIGGERING
If there is an intrusion into the vehicle or hard impact to the body will sound the alarm and flash the lights for
45 seconds. After 45 seconds the system will automatically shut off and re-arm to continue to protect the
vehicle. If a door is left open, the unit will cycle a second time and still continue to protect the other un-
tampered zones.
PRIOR INTRUSION ALERT
If the system was tripped in your absence, the dash LED will be flashing rapidly. When the system is
disarmed you will hear 3 chirps (and 3 light flashes). Carefully inspect your vehicle to see if there is any
damage or a theft has occurred.
OPEN ZONE ALERT/BYPASS
If the system detects a faulty or open zone (Door left open) when the system is ACTIVELY ARMED, the siren
will chirp 5 times along with 5 light flashes. The faulty zone will be automatically bypassed.
