ABOUT YOUR NEW OMEGA MAX-E SYSTEM
Congratulations on your purchase of a new Omega MAX-E security and remote
starting system. Omega MAX-E systems combine the benefits of easy-to-use
convenience with “MAXimum protection” of property and person. Please review
this guide to become familiar with your Omega MAX-E vehicle security and
remote starting system. To operate your system, the three principal components are
first described: the Transmitter, the Status Indicator Light, and the Valet Switch.
The Transmitter:
Your system comes with two pre-learned remote controls, or
“transmitters”, and is capable of being operated by as many as four transmitters. The
transmitter has four buttons: one is marked with a “lock” graphic, one is marked
with an “unlock” graphic, and the remaining two buttons are marked “
II
” and “
III
”.
A 2-way remote transceiver, the Omega Echo, (pages 40-44) is optional.
Every transmitter has its own unique, invisible electronic “code”, which
randomly changes each time the transmitter is used. This effectively protects your
system against “code grabber” devices, like those used to copy cellular phone
security codes. Another exclusive patented feature, Unauthorized Transmitter
Alert, also protects your system from a transmitter being programmed to operate it
without your knowledge. These features, and many others, ensure that Omega
MAX-E systems are the most secure and sophisticated vehicle security systems
available. How to use your transmitter is explained throughout this guide.
The Status Indicator Light:
The multicolored Status Indicator Light, placed in
a visible location in the vehicle’s interior, reflects the operational status of the
system at all times, and also serves as a visual deterrent to break-ins and theft.
Specific description of the Status Indicator Light may be found on pages 21-22.
The Valet Switch:
The Valet Switch has three main functions:
✓
The Valet Switch can be used to turn off the security functions, including any
automatic arming or locking features (if used), and/or remote engine starting
functions of the system. The former is “Alarm Valet Mode”; the later is
“Starting Valet Mode”.
✓
The Valet Switch can also be used, in conjunction with the vehicle’s ignition
key, to perform an emergency disarming of the security system in the event
the transmitter is lost or becomes inoperable. This is referred to as “performing
an Emergency Override”.
✓
The Valet Switch is used in the procedure of programming operational features
and also for encoding transmitters to operate the system.
How to use the Valet Switch for every day system operation is explained on pages
9-11 and 19-20, and its use in programming is explained later in this guide.
operating, and during which the puffs will change to appearing sequentially.
• The “2” within a circle indicates use of the 2nd Channel Output, which is most
commonly used for a remote trunk release feature.
• The “transmitting tower” icon is an in-range indicator. It is present if the last
transmission from the transceiver was answered by a return signal from the
system. Should the transceiver be operated, and no return signal is received,
this icon will disappear.
• The various lines at the upper rear of the vehicle graphic represent a unique
Omega feature which allows the user to customize the vehicle type represented
by the display. Options are: passenger car, pickup truck, and sport utility/van.
PROGRAMMING THE ECHO
TRANSCEIVER FUNCTIONS
The optional Omega Echo transceiver has several user-programmable features:
✓

Configuring these features as desired is a simple process, using the Echo unit’s three
round side buttons, as follows:
The upper rear of the vehicle will flash; Vehicle Type may be chosen now.
Each press of the button changes the vehicle from Passenger Car, then
to Pickup Truck, and then to Van/SUV. When the desired type is flashing
The Time’s “Hours” will flash, and may be set now.
Press and release the button
