Arming the System Using the Transmitter
The system can always be armed from the transmitter, if the ignition key is “off” and the system
is not in the Valet Mode. To arm the system, exit the vehicle, close all of the doors, and simply press
and release the “arm/lock” button once. The parking and interior lights will flash once, the siren will
chirp once and the Status Light will begin to flash, confirming that the system is armed. In addition,
the doors will lock and the starter interrupt will engage to prevent any attempt to start the vehicle. Your
security system is now fully armed, and is ready to respond if an intrusion attempt is detected.
Your K-9 system is designed to deter theft of both your vehicle and its contents. “Arming” your
system turns on its protection and locking the doors. Once the system is Armed, any intrusion attempt
will Activate it, sounding the electronic “Psyren” psycho siren and flashing the parking and interior
lights to attract attention. The unique and patented Psyren psycho siren actually produces the sounds
of two different sirens at once, ensuring that it won’t be ignored like all of the other “common” car
alarms. Disarming
the system turns off the protection, unlocking the doors and turning on the parking
and interior lights, allowing lighted access to, and normal use of, the vehicle.
There are two methods of arming the K-9:
1-
The first method is to use the transmitter, by pressing and releasing its “arm/lock” button.
The system must not already be armed or be in Valet Mode, and the vehicle’s ignition key
must be off.
2-
The second method is Last Door Arming, which configures the system to automatically arm itself
every time you exit the vehicle. This method of arming is programmable, and may be used or not
used as desired.

• The digit readout is a clock, with AM and PM indication. This readout also shows how many
transmitters/transceivers can operate the system.
• The “DISARM” will also show “ARM”; this indicates the Armed or Disarmed status of the system.
Neither icon is present when the system is in Valet Mode.
• The locked or unlocked padlock (windshield) reflects the true locked or unlocked status of the
doors (certain programmable features can automatically arm the system, but not lock the doors,
and the doorlocks can be operated without affecting the alarm, as in Valet Mode). Arming with the
transmitter/transceiver always locks the doors; disarming with the transmitter/transceiver will
unlock the doors unless the system is activated and sounding.
• “VALET” indicates Alarm Valet Mode, replacing the “ARM” or “DISARM” icons. A musical tone
occurs when placing the system into Alarm Valet Mode.
• When “BAT LOW” appears the transceiver’s 1.5 volt AAA battery should be replaced with a new
battery. The Echo also periodically double chirps when the battery is low.
• The transceiver’s chirps and musical tones may be turned off, which makes the unit vibrate instead;
“MUTE” indicates this state.
• The “3” within a circle appears when the 3rd channel output is operated.
• “HOOD/TRUNK” indicates that this zone the vehicle is or has been violated. If associated with the
system being activated, the transceiver also emits chirps, until any button is pressed. In this case,
the icon remains flashing until the ignition switch is turned on.
• If a remote starting attempt is made, and systems aborts it due to a violated safety circuit, the
“crossed-out key” on the hood area will appear (this is accompanied by a musical tone).
• The “CARJACK” icon within the vehicle’s front tag frame indicates that this operation has been
activated, which can be performed by any of three methods.
• On the vehicle’s windshield is a “hammer” and “impact” icon. When the shock sensor detects light
