The best operating performance is ob-
tained by placing the KeyCounter disc
on your keys as shown: place your
ignition key only on the
disc's small ring, and
place the key ring
and remaining keys
on the opposite
side of the disc.
Configuring the
key fob disc in this
fashion orients the
transponder in
the disc to the
antenna and at
the same time
ensures that the
signal is not blocked
by the other keys.

5) Again present the Red Programming disc to the antenna; the Status Light will go
out momentarily to indicate the disc's code is retained as the Programming disc.
The Status Light returns to solid Red. Remove the Red Programming disc from
the antenna.
6) Now present the first Black Daily Use disc to the antenna; the Status Light will
momentarily go out, then return to solid Red.
7) Repeat the previous step for each additional Black Daily Use disc.
After 10 seconds of no further disc presentations, the Status Light will change from
solid Red to solid Orange, which indicates the exit from programming mode and the
start of the normal engagement process. If all five code slots are filled, i.e.- one Red
disc and four Black discs, the Status Light's change from Red to Orange will occur
as soon as the fifth disc is presented.

Note: The KeyCounter system has a special antenna which is designed to be
mounted behind the steering column trim panel, below the ignition switch. If the
vehicle's steering column structure allows optimal antenna placement, when the
transponder disc is placed within approximately three inches of the antenna, the radio
transmissions between the disc and control module are made and the vehicle is
allowed to start. If the door circuit wire is connected, the radio transmissions will occur
as the key is being inserted into the switch.
