Although the Freedom-400 can have basic operations without them, the Valet/
Override Switch and the Status Indicator Light greatly enhance the system.  The
Valet/Override Switch allows disarming the system without the transmitter and
placing the system into a state in which it cannot be armed.  The Status Indicator
Light visually and quickly shows in which state the system is in.

Valet/Override Switch:  Use the combination holder, or otherwise use the self-
adhesive pad to mount the Valet/Override Switch in a hidden but accessible
location.  The control module and siren assembly’s Gray wire must be routed to
the Valet/Override Switch’s mounting location.

Snap the combination holder bot-
tom half to the upper half; ensure
that the wires are routed carefully.

The upper half of the combination
holder may be mounted with the
two screws provided, or, double-
sided adhesive tape
may be used.

Then, when the upper half holder
is secured, insert the LED and
mount the Valet/Override Switch
using its double-sided adhesive
tape.
