Arming Bypass:
When arming the system using the transmitter, if any protected zone or sensor
circuit is in a violated condition, the arming confirmation will change to three
chirps and light flashes; and the affected zone or circuit will automatically be
bypassed. This is “Arming Bypass”, which allows the system to still arm and
protect the other normal, non-violated zones. In the case of a bypassed zone or
circuit, should the violated condition return to normal, 5 seconds after it becomes
normal the system restores protection to the previously bypassed zone or circuit.
If the hood and trunk zone, or sensor circuit is bypassed when the system is
armed, instead of the normal arming confirmation the siren will chirp three times
and the parking lights will flash three times to alert you. However, if a door zone
is bypassed, the siren and light confirmation will be the normal one chirp and
flash, as many vehicles are equipped with a delayed interior light illumination. In
these vehicles, the interior light delay would typically cause the system to indicate
a bypass if the system is armed during the delay. In these cases, the arming indi-
cation is normal, and the door zone is protected by the system five seconds after
the interior light turns off.
LAST DOOR ARMING BY EXITING THE CAR
Last Door Arming:
Last Door Arming is a programmable feature which configures the system to
arm itself without the need of a command from the transmitter. This convenient
feature offers a high level of security and may entitle the vehicle owner to an
insurance discount since the user does not need to remember to arm the system
each time the vehicle is exited. The Last Door Arming feature may include, if
desired, the automatic locking of the vehicle’s doors when the system arms itself.*

The Last Door Arming process:
1- When the vehicle’s ignition has been turned off, the system waits until a door
is opened. When the door is closed, or when the last door is closed when more
than one door is opened, the siren will chirp once, the parking lights will flash
once, and the Status Indicator Light will begin flashing Red rapidly. The Last
Door Arming countdown has begun.
2- Thirty seconds later the siren will again chirp once, the parking lights will again
flash once, the starter interrupt will engage, and the Status Indicator Light will
begin flashing Red slowly. If programmed, the vehicle’s doors will also lock.*
Three seconds after these actions occur, the system is fully armed.
Notes:
• If a door is reopened during the thirty second period between the first and
second chirps, the countdown will stop and reset. When the reopened door is
closed again, the 30 second countdown starts over again at the beginning.

Step 4 Repeat the previous step for each transmitter or transceiver which is to
operate the system.
Only the “Arm/Lock” button is pressed in programming; when it is learned all of
the other buttons’ functions are automatically assigned. The system will remove
itself from the programming mode if 10 seconds expire without its receiving a
signal, if the ignition is turned “off”, or upon four transmitters or transceivers being
programmed into the system.
An exciting upgrade option to your Omega MAX-E system
is a 2-way
remote “transceiver”, the Omega Echo. The remote transceiver, in addition to
operating your system, also receives signals from the system, and displays a variety
of system conditions on its LCD screen. Your system can be operated by as many
as four standard transmitters and/or Echo transceivers.
The Echo has the same four operational buttons as the standard transmitter- the
“Arm/Lock”, the “Disarm/Unlock”, the “
II
” 2nd Channel Output button, and “
III
”
button for remote Panic or 3rd Channel Output. The Echo transceiver has a fifth
button, the “Programming” button; pressing this button will illuminate the LCD
screen.

Icons:
The LCD screen on the
remote transceiver has various
icons which indicate system
status. When the
remote transceiver is
used to operate the system, it
receives back a signal which
causes it to chirp (emulating the
siren) and display the appropriate
icons. Brief descriptions of the
icons are:
Please note that programming a transmitter to the system will activate the
audible Unauthorized Transmitter Alert warning and the extended Status
Indicator Light visual display; for the next 48 hours the siren will sound
a brief series of chirps every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned on.
