The VIP 4000 security system includes a 9 Volt alkaline battery and a slide bracket holder
which attaches to the security system control module. The 9 Volt battery is all that is required
to provide alternative power to operate the system if the vehicle's battery is disconnected. A
built-in protection circuit will not allow the 9 Volt battery to back feed voltage into the
vehicle's electrical system.
While on backup battery power, to conserve the backup battery, the system will not have
some functions - flashing exterior lights and the LED Status Indicator. The siren will still
have full sound output, and all trigger circuits will be active except current sensing and any
optional sensors. The Starter Interrupt, however, will work at all times from battery backup.
Replacement 9 Volt alkaline batteries can be purchased anywhere batteries are sold. We
recommend the battery be replaced with another alkaline battery every 18 months or after
the 9 Volt battery has operated the alarm on its own for any length of time. Under the
following conditions, a new 9 Volt alkaline battery's life is anticipated to be approximately:
1. 2 days as the only power source to the system while in the armed condition.
2. 25 triggered cycles. A triggered cycle is the 60 second period after the security system
is triggered, in which the siren is sounding. The cycle ends when the system
automatically resets to the armed state.
3. 50 separate transmitter arm and disarm activations.
4. 18 months if the 9 Volt battery circuit has not been activated.
You may want to ask the installing dealer if battery replacement is a service that he
provides, and if there will be any charge for this service. If you plan on replacing the 9 Volt
battery yourself, be sure to have the installer show you how to access the system's control
unit.

Remote Panic Activation From The Transmitter: Should you feel threatened or the
need to attract attention at any time you can activate the Remote Panic feature by depressing
your vehicle's factory transmitter's Lock or Unlock button two to three times (varies from
car to car) within six seconds. Your system will respond by activating the horn or optional
siren, locking the doors and flashing the exterior lights for 60 seconds. To disengage Remote
Panic, simply press either transmitter button. Pressing Lock will disengage Remote Panic
and leave the system armed; pressing Unlock will disengage Remote Panic and leave the
system disarmed. The Remote Panic feature will operate regardless of the security system's
status: armed, disarmed or Valet Mode. This feature will also operate while the ignition
switch is "On".

Optional Plug-In Sensor Port
Your VIP 4000 security system features a plug-in port which allows an optional sensor to
easily be added to increase the effectiveness of your system. The comprehensive line of
optional sensors include those that monitor shock to the vehicle, detect changes in atmo-
spheric pressure within the vehicle, and radar sensors that can detect motion inside and
outside the vehicle. Your Executive
dealer can provide more details on the complete line of
sensors, and help you determine which sensor or sensors are best suited to your personal
needs. Many of the sensors feature dual zone capability, which allows you take advantage
of your security system's prewarn feature.

Prewarning Shock Detection Circuit: This circuit requires connection to an optional
detection sensor device. When the sensor is triggered, the security system will respond by
chirping the siren three times, flashing the parking lights once and relocking all of the doors.
After this circuit has been triggered three times this feature will automatically shut down until
the security system is rearmed again. This will prevent the system from being a nuisance to
the general public.
Power Doorlock Interface: The VIP 4000 is designed to add a fully-featured security
system to an existing factory-equipped Remote Keyless Entry system. While the factory
transmitter allows remote locking and unlocking of the doors, the VIP 4000 can also operate
the power doorlocks as part of it's operation. If a thief triggers the security system or activates
the Prewarning feature, the VIP 4000 will automatically relock the doors. If a door is opened,
this advanced feature will wait for the door to shut and then relock the doors. The VIP 4000
can also be programmed to automatically lock the doors when the ignition switch is turned
"On" and unlock them when the ignition switch is turned "Off", providing that a door is not
open when the ignition switch is turned "On" or "Off". These features requires the installation
of an optional doorlock interface.
Optional Electronic Siren: The VIP 4000 can use either the vehicle's existing horn or
an optional electronic siren. The AU-72 Electronic Siren has a 127 dB (decibel) sound level
and features six police siren sounds which change every 5 seconds to produce twelve sounds
per minute.

1) Always be aware of your surroundings. An alert and aware person is less likely to become
a crime victim than someone who is preoccupied and easily approached.
2) While driving in high crime areas, always keep your doors locked and your windows up.
Your Executive System can automatically lock your doors when the ignition switch is turned
"on".
3) Always attempt to park your vehicle in a well lit and visible location with your system
armed and doors locked. If your system has interior/exterior light illumination, take
advantage of this feature to look in and around your vehicle.
4) While in parking garage structures, always attempt to back-in to your parking space. This
will provide a less visually encumbered and quicker way to exit your parking space if you
are being pursued. This will also allow you to better see the flashing exterior light
confirmation, if equipped.
5) While driving or stopped at an intersection, if your vehicle is bumped in the rear by
another vehicle or the vehicle behind you is flashing it's headlights, consider the occupants
of the vehicle hostile and immediately drive to the nearest police or fire station. "Bump and
run" thieves and carjackers are becoming an increasingly severe problem.
6) While parked and sitting in your vehicle, always keep your doors locked , windows rolled
up and engine idling if possible. If you are approached by a potential carjacker, use your
transmitter to Panic the system to scare the attacker away.
7) Control access of your keys and transmitters. Never leave your transmitter, house keys
or other keys with a valet parking attendant or mechanic.
