The Valet Switch is located in the Window Unit, or optionally, the installer may
have instead mounted a separate Valet Switch in a hidden, yet accessible location.
Please ensure that you and others who use your vehicle are aware of the location of
the Valet Switch and its uses. The Valet Switch has several functions:
Using the Valet Switch
•
It is also used in the procedures for programming features and programming
controllers or transmitters to operate the Excalibur system. See the
“Programming sections of this manual for details on these uses.
•
Should your controller or transmitter be lost or become inoperable, the Valet
Switch, and the ignition key, can be used to disarm the system with an
Emergency Override
. Disarming the System by Emergency Override is
described on pages 11 and 12.
•
Placing your system into
Valet Mode
, which prevents it from arming.

Valet Mode:
This allows you to turn off all of the “alarm” operations of the security
system while retaining the remote convenience features such as keyless entry, Panic,
and the Auxiliary Outputs. The system may only be placed into Valet Mode when
it’s disarmed; if armed, an Emergency Override must be performed before placing
into Valet Mode. Once the system is in Valet Mode, it cannot become armed from
the transmitter, Last Door Arming, or Automatic Rearming.
Valet Mode and Emergency Override are two similar, but different procedures,
although both operations use the Valet Switch. Emergency Override disarms an
armed and activated system, and requires the ignition key. Valet Mode turns off the
alarm operations of the disarmed system, but without the need of the ignition key.
Valet Mode is designed for situations in which it is not convenient for the
security portion of the system to be operational, such as during extended stopovers
for vehicle servicing, maintenance, valet parking, washing, etc.
To Enter Valet Mode:
With the system disarmed, press and hold the Valet
Switch for 2 seconds.
• The siren will chirp twice, the parking lights will flash twice and the Status
Light will illuminate on solid.*
• To indicate that the system is in Valet Mode, the Status Light remains on
whenever the system is in Valet Mode.
• To remind the user that the system is in Valet Mode, the siren will chirp once
every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned off.
*A pair of red Status Lights are standard, mounted in the 2-way window unit
transceiver; or, separately mounted red and blue Status Lights are available
as optional equipment, which replaces the standard Status Light.
If the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature is on, programming a
controller or transmitter to the system will activate the Unauthorized
Transmitter Alert warning and the extended Status Light visual
display; for the next 48 hours the siren will sound a brief series of
chirps every time the vehicle’s ignition key is turned on. The
following special procedure programs the controllers/transmitters
and also turns the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature on.
Step 3
Press the “arm/lock” button on each remaining controller or transmitter.
The system will chirp the siren once to confirm that each was learned.
The controller or transmitter’s other three button's functions will
automatically be assigned when the “arm/lock” button is learned. If a code
is not received within a 10 second period, the learning process will
automatically terminate, as indicated by another siren burst.
Step 2
Within 5 seconds of turning on the ignition, press the Valet Switch 5 times.
The siren will briefly sound, confirming that for the next 10 seconds the
system is ready to learn a controller/transmitter code. To enter a code,
simply press and release the “arm/lock” button (the button which is
designed to arm the system). When the first controller/transmitter code
is learned all existing stored codes will be erased.

Special Programming procedure to turn On the UTA feature:
Use this
method to program controllers or transmitters, and to turn on the Unauthorized
Transmitter Alert feature.
Follow the same steps as the Standard Programming, but on any controller/
transmitter being programmed instead of pressing the “arm/lock” button, press the
“arm/lock” and the “disarm/unlock” buttons together. This action turns on the
Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature and at the same time programs the controller/
transmitter to operate the system.
Once the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature is turned on, the warning will
sound for 48 hours after any controller or transmitter programming, including the
programming session which was used to turn it on. NOTE: Once UTA is turned
on, it cannot be turned off unless sent back to Omega for a factory reset.
