system features learn routine
The System Features Learn Routine dictates how the unit operates. It is possible to access and change any of the
feature settings using the Valet/program switch. However, this process can be greatly simplified by using the
optional Personal Computer Interface or Bitwriter (p/n 998T). Any of the settings can be changed and then
assigned to one of up to four transmitters. This feature is called Owner Recognition. Each time that particular
transmitter is used to disarm the system, the assigned feature settings will be recalled. Owner Recognition is only
possible when programming the unit via the computer interface or hand-held programmer.
If programming with the PC interface or the Bitwriter (p/n 998T), the learn routine can be locked or
unlocked. If the learn routine has previously been locked, it must be unlocked before proceeding with repro-
gramming the learn routine. This must be done by using either p/n 998T or the PC Interface module - this cannot
be done manually with the Valet switch. If the learn routine is locked, features cannot be changed.
To enter the System Features Learn Routine:
1. Open a door. (The GREEN wire, H1/5, or the VIOLET, H1/7 must be connected.)
2. Ignition. Turn the ignition on, then back off. (The heavy gauge PINK wire of the relay
satellite must be connected.)
3. Select a Menu. Press and HOLD the Valet®/Program switch. (The Valet®/Program switch
must be plugged into the blue port.) After three seconds the siren will chirp once indicat-
ing entry to the Basic Features Menu. If this is the menu you wish to access, release the
button and go on to Step 4. If the button is not released, you will jump to the next menu
and the siren will chirp twice. There are three possible menus. Once you have selected the
desired menu, release the Valet®/Program switch.
4. Select a Feature. Press and release the Valet®/Program switch the number of times corre-
sponding to the feature you wish to change. For example, to access the third feature, press
and release 3 times. Then press the button once more and HOLD it. The siren will chirp the
number of times equal to the feature you have accessed.
5. Program the Feature. While holding the Valet®/Program switch, you can toggle the feature
on and off using the remote transmitter. Pressing the button that arms the system will
select the one chirp or default setting. Pressing the button that disarms the system (or the
Channel Two button when in the single button arm/disarm configuration) will select the
two chirp setting.
