ABOUT YOUR NEW CRIME GUARD SYSTEM
Congratulations on your purchase of a new Crime Guard security system.
Crime Guard systems combine the benefits of easy-to-use convenience with
“no nonsense” protection of person and property. Please review this guide
to become familiar with your Crime Guard vehicle security system. To
operate your security system, the three principal components are first
described: the Remote Control Transmitter, the Red Status Indicator Light,
and the Easy Valet
TM
Switch.
The Remote Control Transmitter:
Your system comes with two pre-
learned remote controls, or “transmitters”, and is capable of being operated
by as many as four transmitters. The transmitter has three buttons: A Large
Upper button, a Small Middle Button, and a Small Lower Button.
Every transmitter has its own unique, invisible electronic “code”. Each
time the transmitter is used, this code randomly changes, effectively protecting
your system against “code grabber” devices, like those used to copy cellular
phone security codes. Another exclusive patented feature, Automatic
Transmitter Verification (ATV
TM
), ensures that only your transmitters
operate your system, and is explained on page 19. These features, and many
others, ensure that Crime Guard systems are the most secure vehicle security
systems available.
The Status Indicator Light: The Red Status Indicator Light reports the
status of the security system at all times, and also serves as a visual deterrent
to break-ins and theft. In addition, the Status Indicator Light is part of the
ATV
TM
visual display, and is also used for the Alarm Memory Recall feature.
Specific description of the Status Indicator Light is on page 15.
The Valet Switch:
The Valet Switch has three main functions:
1- The Valet Switch can be used to turn off the security operation of the
system, including the Last Door Arming feature (if used). This is
referred to as “placing the system into Valet Mode”.
2- The Valet Switch can also be used, in conjunction with the vehicle’s
ignition key, to perform an emergency disarming of the security system
in the event the transmitter is lost or becomes inoperable. This is
referred to as an “Emergency Override”.
3- The Valet Switch is used in the procedure of programming operational
features and also for encoding transmitters to the system.

USING YOUR CRIME GUARD SYSTEM
Your new Crime Guard security system is designed to deter theft of both
your vehicle and its contents.
Arming
the system turns on the protection
operation, disables the vehicle’s starter and locks the doors provided an
interface is installed. Once the system is
Armed
, any intrusion attempt will
Activate it, sounding the siren and flashing the lights to attract attention.
Disarming
the system turns off the protection, allowing normal use of the
vehicle.
There are two methods of Arming the security system:
1- The first method is to use the transmitter, by pressing and releasing its
Large Upper Button. The system must not already be armed or be in
Valet Mode
(page 14)
, and the vehicle’s ignition switch must be off. In
normal operation, each press of the Large Upper Button reverses the
system between the armed and disarmed states.
2- The second method is Last Door Arming, which configures the system to
automatically arm every time you exit the vehicle. This method of
arming is programmable, and may be used or not used as desired.
