The
Information and Programming Module: This module is designed to be mounted on
the windshield in view of the driver, and contains several system components. The Digital
Status Indicator informs you of the condition of the security system; and also used as the
visual indicator for the Automatic Transmitter Verification
TM
Feature. If the system was
activated while it was armed, the Digital Status Indicator will display a history of events upon
disarming, and also display which protected circuit was involved with each of the events.
Additionally, the Visual Deterrent LED is found at the top of this module. This light reflects
the basic condition of the system, and also serves to deter theft by plainly indicating the
presence of a security system. The Information and Programming Module also contains the
Valet Switch, which is used to place the system into Valet Mode. This condition prevents
manual arming and any operation of automatic system functions. The Valet Switch is also
used, in conjunction with the ignition key, to perform an Override function, which will allow
disarming the security system in the event the transmitter becomes inoperable. Please note
that if an extra secure operation of the Valet Switch is desired, you may custom program its
override operation by utilizing the Personal Coded Override, which is explained on Pages 19-
20. And finally, the Valet Switch is also used as part of the Programmable Features and
Transmitter Programming procedures.
Please note that your new Excalibur Gold vehicle security system has 29 user and installer
Programmable Features, described in detail in a later section, which allows customizing the
system's operations, some to suit your personal needs, and others which adapt the system
to a particular vehicle's installation parameters.
Excalibur Gold Advanced System Features
Automatic Transmitter Verification
TM
: Your Excalibur Gold vehicle security and
starting system is protected against a weakness which is shared by all other transmitter-
operated systems, even factory-equipped Remote Keyless Entry systems. This weakness
is the ease in which an unauthorized person can encode their own unauthorized transmitter
to operate your system for the purpose of stealing your vehicle or it's contents.
Otherwise, every time the ignition switch is turned "on", the Digital Status Indicator will
show the number of operating transmitters for ten seconds. In the event the system alerts
you to a recent transmitter addition, or if the Visual Deterrent LED flashes a total different from
the number of transmitters you have programmed to operate your system, you can now
immediately reprogram your transmitters, effectively erasing any unauthorized transmitters.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For the first 48 hours after your new
system is installed, every time the ignition switch is turned "on",
the siren will chirp rapidly for two seconds, and the Digital Status
Indicator will show the number of operating transmitters for 90
seconds.
This will also occur for 48 hours after any transmitter coding.

The Patented Automatic Transmitter Verification
TM
feature is the industry's first response
addressing the growing problem of professional thieves defeating a vehicle security system
by encoding their own transmitter to operate the system. Previously, garage door openers
were commonly duplicated by burglars to gain home entry. Now when you leave your vehicle
and keys with any individual for any reason, you will have the peace of mind of knowing that
only your transmitters will operate the security system and that no other person has encoded
extra transmitters to steal your vehicle.
Transmitter Code Jumping
TM
: When the remote control transmitter is operated, a switch
upon it is pressed so that it may transmit a coded Radio Frequency (RF) signal. The word
"frequency" denotes the wavelength of the signal, and the encoding is a digital message
within the signal which ensures the correct command is followed by the proper receiving
system. A common analogy used to illustrate this is a common pocket radio - the frequency
denotes where to turn the radio's dial to hear a particular program, and the encoding is the
language and words which, if correct, are understood by the listener.
Each time you transmit a code to the security system, the transmitter and security system
will advance to another code to use for the transmission. The Code Jumping
TM
Transmitter
prevents a thief from using a "code grabber" device to record and play back a transmission
for the purpose of disarming your vehicle security system. Please note that pressing the
transmitter's arm / disarm button many times while it is out of range of the security system
can advance its codes beyond the range of recognition. If this occurs, simply press the arm
/ disarm button a few times within range of the system to resynchronize the Code Jumping
TM
sequence between the transmitter and the security system control module.

Transmitter Operations
Pressing this button within 3 seconds after arming turns off the Auxiliary sensor.
Pressing this button within 3 seconds after disarming, will place the system in Remote Valet.
Small Lower Button-
Pressing this button for 3
seconds will start the engine,
allowing the vehicle's
interior to be heated or
cooled upon entry.
Small Center Button-
Pressing this button for 3
seconds will activate the
remote trunk release.
Pressing this button
before the large button
will arm or disarm the
system without the
siren chirps.
Large Upper Button- Press and
release this button to arm and
disarm the system. The doors
will lock upon arming, and un-
lock upon disarming. If the op-
tional unlock driver's door fea-
ture is installed, upon disarming
only the driver's door will un-
lock; pressing the large button
again within 3 seconds will un-
lock all of the doors.
Pressing and holding this but-
ton for 3 seconds will "Panic" the
system- which will sound the
siren or horn, flash the lights,
and also lock the doors.
Red LED Light- Illuminates
to confirm transmission.
