OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - ALARM
Remote Panic Protection

(Lock) for at least 3 seconds until the siren sounds. Press Button #2 (Unlock) to reset panic mode.

Button #1 and #2 together within 2 seconds. You will hear 3 extra siren chirps indicating shock sensor bypass
for this arming cycle only.
Open Zone Alert / Bypass
Upon arming, this system will warn you if a door is left open. After a 60 second setup delay (for extended
dome lights) has elapsed, if the system detects a fault or a door left open, the siren will chirp 5 times along
with 5 light flashes. This zone will be automatically bypassed and the alarm will protect all other zones.
Pre-Warning Shock Protection
The Pre-warning (warn-away) feature will activate when a low-level shock or vibration detected by the
systems shock sensor. The alarm will chirp the siren 5 times and flash the lights once to help deter any
further tampering with the vehicle.
Passive Arming Mode: (Programmable)
Passive (automatic) arming occurs 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off and the last door is closed. Upon
closing the last door, the unit will flash the lights twice and LED will be flashing rapidly to confirm passive
countdown. If a door is reopened within the 30 second period, the countdown stop and begin again when the
door is closed. Passive arming provides failsafe protection in case you forget to arm the system.
Passive Locking: (Programmable)
The system can be programmed to passively lock the doors when the system passively arms. The default
setting is OFF because passive locking increases the risk of locking the keys in the vehicle.
Dome Light Illumination (Optional)
This feature will turn on the vehicles dome light upon disarming for 30 seconds or until the key is inserted and
turned on. This will provide illuminated entry to your vehicle in dimly lit areas for safety and security.

This feature is designed to interface with existing Factory power trunk or power hatch release systems and
may require additional parts and/or labor charges. Press and release Button #3 (Trunk) on the transmitter to
pop/open the trunk/hatch. If the system is armed, it will also disarm when the button #3 is pressed.
