ERIFICATION
This patented technology, which is standard on all Omega models, eliminates an
inherent weakness found in any remote-controlled vehicle security or keyless entry
system. In all such systems, allowance is made for multiple transmitters to operate
the system. In a matter of seconds, anyone familiar with the programming
procedure can easily code their own unauthorized transmitter into the system.
Although every vehicle remote-controlled keyless entry or security system is
susceptible, Omega security systems audibly alert you if the system’s programming
mode has been accessed and visually informs you at all times of the number of
transmitters capable of operating your system. Someday this technology will be
standard on all remote-controlled keyless entry and security systems; today, only
the most advanced systems offer this complete protection.
How It Works:
Unauthorized Transmitter Alert
TM
:
Anytime the system has a transmitter
programmed, for 48 hours thereafter the siren will sound a brief series of chirps
every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. This audible warning alerts you that
the system has had transmitter programming activity.
Automatic Transmitter Verification
TM
:
In normal everyday use, for a period
of 10 seconds after the vehicle’s ignition is turned on, the system’s Status Indicator
Light reports the total number transmitters which can operate the system. However,
if the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert has been activated, this visual display period
is extended to 90 seconds. For example: After turning on the vehicle’s ignition, if
the Status Indicator Light flashes twice between pauses, two transmitters are
programmed to operate the system. If the indication were three flashes between
pauses, three transmitters are capable of operating the system.
In the event that the Unauthorized Transmitter alert is activated, or if the Status
Indicator Light ever shows different number of authorized transmitters, you can
easily reprogram your transmitters to eliminate the threat.

STATUS INDICATOR LIGHT
The Status Indicator Light visually confirms the status of the system and
provides a high level of visual deterrence. Two colors are shown- Red for security
operations, and Green for remote starting operations. Combinations of both colors
are seen when the two operations are occurring together. The Status Indicator Light,
which shares a housing assembly with the Valet Switch, is normally mounted in a
location where it can be easily seen by the driver, as well as from outside the vehicle.
If the system has been upgraded with optional 2-way Omega Echo, the Status
Indicator Light is in the window unit.
Security System Status:
The Red colored operations of the Status Indicator
Light indicate the status of the security system:
1) Off = The security system is disarmed and not performing automatic functions.
The remote starter system is off, but in standby mode.
2) On Red Constant = The security system is in the Valet Mode, with the remote
starter system off and in standby mode.
3) Flashing Slow Red = The security system is fully armed, with the remote starter
system off and in standby mode.
4) Flashing Fast Red = Last Door Arming or Automatic Rearming is in progress,
with the remote starter system off and in standby mode.
Automatic Transmitter Verification:
For the first 10 seconds after the
vehicle’s ignition is turned on, the Status Indicator Light will flash Red a number
of times that equal the number of transmitters that are capable of operating the
system:
5) 1 Red Flash /pause = 1 transmitter is programmed.
6) 2 Red Flashes /pause = 2 transmitters are programmed.
7) 3 Red Flashes /pause = 3 transmitters are programmed.
8) 4 Red Flashes /pause = 4 transmitters are programmed.
Zone Violation:
If the system enters an alarm condition, the Status Indicator
Light will stop flashing slow Red and begin to flash in sequence to indicate which
protected zone caused the alarm condition. The Status Indicator Light will flash and
pause to indicate which protected zone was violated while the system is still armed,
after it’s disarmed, and until the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. The system’s Zone
Violation feature’s memory can store two consecutive zone violations. If there have
been multiple violations, the Status Indicator Light will show the two most recent
violations in the order in which they occurred.
9) 2 Red Flashes / Pause = System was triggered by open hood or trunk.
