This patented technology, which is standard on all Crime Guard models,
eliminates an inherent weakness found in any remote-controlled vehicle security
or keyless entry system. In all such systems, allowance is made for multiple
transmitters to operate the system. In a matter of seconds, anyone familiar with
the programming procedure can easily code their own unauthorized transmitter
into the system. Although every vehicle remote-controlled keyless entry or
security system is susceptible, Crime Guard security systems audibly alerts you
if the system’s programming mode has been accessed and visually informs you
at all times of the number of remote controls capable of operating your system.
Someday this technology will be standard on all remote-controlled keyless entry
and security systems; today, only the most advanced systems offer this complete
protection.
How It Works:
Unauthorized Transmitter Alert
TM
:
Anytime the system has a transmitter
and/or transceiver programmed, for 48 hours thereafter the siren will sound a brief
series of chirps every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. This audible
warning alerts you that the system has had transmitter programming activity.
Automatic Transmitter Verification
TM
:
In normal everyday use, for a period
of 10 seconds after the vehicle’s ignition is turned on, the system’s Status
Indicator Light reports the total number of transmitters or Echo transceivers
which can operate the system. For example: After turning on the vehicle’s
ignition, if the Status Indicator Light flashes twice between pauses, two transmitters
are programmed to operate the system. If the indication were three flashes
between pauses, three transmitters are capable of operating the system. If the
Unauthorized Transmitter Alert has been activated, this visual display period is
extended to 90 seconds.
Every time that the Echo transceiver receives a signal from the system, it also
momentarily shows the number of operating transmitters/transceivers; this occurs
where the clock display normally shows the time.
In the event that the ATV
TM
Warning is activated, or if the Status Indicator Light
ever shows a different number of authorized transmitters, you can easily reprogram
your transmitters to eliminate the threat.

The Status Indicator Light visually confirms the status of the system and
provides a high level of visual deterrence. Two colors are shown- Red for security
operations, and Green for remote starting operations. Combinations of both
colors are seen when the two operations are occurring together. The Status
Indicator Light, which shares a housing assembly with the Valet Switch, is
normally mounted in a location where it can be easily seen by the driver, as well
as from outside the vehicle.
Security System Status:
The Red colored operations of the Status
Indicator Light indicate the status of the security system:
1) Off = The security system is disarmed and not performing automatic functions.
The remote starter system is off, but in standby mode.
2) On Red Constant = The security system is in the Valet Mode, with the remote
starter system off and in standby mode.
3) Flashing Slow Red = The security system is fully armed, with the remote starter
system off and in standby mode.
4) Flashing Fast Red = Last Door Arming or Automatic Rearming is in progress,
with the remote starter system off and in standby mode.
Automatic Transmitter Verification:
For the first 10 seconds after the
vehicle’s ignition is turned on, the Status Indicator Light will flash Red a number
of times that equal the number of transmitters and/or Echo transceivers that are
capable of operating the system:
5) 1 Red Flash /pause = 1 transmitter/transceiver is programmed.
6) 2 Red Flashes /pause = 2 transmitters/transceivers are programmed.
7) 3 Red Flashes /pause = 3 transmitters/transceivers are programmed.
8) 4 Red Flashes /pause = 4 transmitters/transceivers are programmed.
Zone Violation:
If the system enters an alarm condition, the Status Indicator
Light will stop flashing slow Red and begin to flash in sequence to indicate which
protected zone caused the alarm condition. The Status Indicator Light will flash
STATUS INDICATOR LIGHT
• It will play a musical melody.
• Whatever status icons previously displayed will be replaced by the “VALET”
icon.
When the system is removed from Alarm Valet Mode, the Echo will again play
a melody, and the “VALET” icon changes to “DISARMED”. The “VALET” icon
is for Alarm Valet Mode only; Starting Valet Mode is indicated by the Status
Indicator Light only.
