The transmitter can be used as a remote panic switch to manually trigger the alarm in case of
emergency:
1. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds. The alarm will immediately sound.
2. During panic mode, the normal function of this transmitter button will be suspended. The
transmitter and buttons can be used to lock and unlock the door (if the option is installed).
However, once the button is pressed, the vehicle’s starter disable device, (when installed)
will enable the vehicle to start.
3. To stop the alarm, press and hold the transmitter or button again for 3 seconds. Also, if
any transmitter button other than or button is pressed and released, the panic mode will
be turned off immediately.
4. If the button is not pressed, the alarm will automatically stop after 30 seconds.
When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:
1. Light impact will trigger the warn-away signal.
2. Heavy Impacts / Doors Open / Hood Open / Trunk Open / Turning on the Ignition Key will
trigger the programmed sequence.
The starter disable relay (if installed) prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking. The siren,
horn, parking lights and dome light will turn on to alert of an intrusion for 30 seconds. Then it
will stop and automatic reset and rearm. If any one of sensors or detectors are still active, the
alarm system will sound a maximum of 6 times of 30 seconds cycles.

Noise Abatement Circuit:
The Noise Abatement Circuit prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door
pin switches or environmental conditions such as thunder, airport noise, etc.
The alarm triggers 5 times. Each time, the same sensor / switch is triggering the alarm. The
Noise Abatement Circuit will interpret this pattern of triggers as a false alarm. After the fifth
trigger, the Noise Abatement Circuit ignores, or bypasses, that sensor / switch until the other
sensor / switch is triggered.
The Noise Abatement Circuit covers doors (hood / trunk) differently: If the alarm is triggered by
an open door for six full cycles, the doors will be bypassed until the trigger ceases.
