Arming Bypass:
When arming the system using the transmitter or transceiver, if any pro-
tected zone or sensor circuit is in a violated condition, the affected zone or
circuit will be automatically bypassed. This is “Arming Bypass”, which allows
the system to still arm and protect the other normal, non-violated zones. In the
case of a bypassed zone or circuit, should the violated condition return to nor-
mal, 5 seconds after becoming normal the system restores protection to the pre-
viously bypassed zone or circuit.
If the hood and trunk zone, or sensor circuit is bypassed when the system is
armed, instead of the normal arming confirmation the siren will chirp four times
and the parking lights will flash four times to alert you. However, if a door
zone is bypassed, the siren and light confirmation will be the normal two chirps
and flashes, as many vehicles are equipped with a delayed interior light illumi-
nation. In these vehicles, the interior light delay would typically cause the sys-
tem to indicate a bypass if the system is armed during the delay. In these cases,
the arming indication is normal, and the door zone is protected by the system
five seconds after the interior light turns off.
When the remote transceiver is used and Arming Bypass occurs, it will chirp
four times itself (instead of two) and flash the icon of the violated zone.
• The starter interrupt will engage.
• The Status Indicator Light will begin to flash slowly in Red.
Three seconds after arming, the security system becomes fully armed, and will
activate to an alarm condition should an intrusion attempt be detected.
LAST DOOR ARMING BY EXITING THE CAR
Last Door Arming:
Last Door Arming is a programmable feature which configures the system
to arm itself without the need of a command from the transmitter or transceiver.
This convenient feature offers a high level of security and may entitle the ve-
hicle owner to an insurance discount since the user does not need to remember to
arm the system each time the vehicle is exited.

Upon Arming with the Echo Transceiver, it will:
• The transceiver will chirp twice (or four times if a zone is bypassed).
• The “ARM” icon will appear.
• The “locked lock” icon appears, confirming that doors have locked.
• The number of operating transmitters or transceivers is briefly displayed.
