ARMING THE SYSTEM - ACTIVE
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close all doors,
hood lid and trunk lid.
2. Press and release Lock/Arm button on the keychain trans-
mitter.
The dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly. Parking Lights
flash one time.
Siren sounds one chirp.
If the siren/horn
sounds 3 chirps, then you have left a door,
trunk, or hood lid ajar. Simply close the opened entry point
to provide full protection. If the siren "chirped" three times,
sometime after arming, the exclusive, patented, delayed dome light
learn circuit has been programmed and the system detected a open
entry point after the learned delay expired. Again, closing the hood,
trunk, or doors will correct the problem and you do not need to disarm
the system to make the correction. If the siren/horn did not sound
when arming, then the chirps have been turned off and you should refer to the section
titled "ELIMINATING THE ARM/DISARM CHIRPS" in this manual.
NOTE: If selectable feature 9, Chirp Delete From Transmitter, was set to the on position
during installation, then you can selectively defeat the arm & disarm chirps by holding the
transmitters Lock or Unlock button for about 2 seconds.
Note: If Passive Arm Mode was selected on during installation, then 30 seconds after the
last vehicle door is closed, the unit will arm automatically.
PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED
Opening any protected door, hood or trunk lid will cause the alarm to immediately sound. The
alarm will continue to sound for 30 seconds, then stop and continue to monitor all protected entry
points. If the thief left a door opened, the alarm will sound for six 30 second cycles, remain armed
and ignore that triggered zone.\
Whenever the system is armed, the dash mounted LED indicator will slowly flash. This serves as a
visual deterrent to the potential thief. The LED is a very low current bulb and will not cause the
vehicle’s battery to drain, even when left unattended for extended periods.
Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle’s parking lights will flash for the full 30 second alarm
cycle, attracting visual attention to the vehicle.
Optional - Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle’s starting circuit will be bypassed. If the thief
should choose to ignore the siren, the vehicle can not be started.
Any mild impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to sound a short series of warning tones.
Any strong impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to trigger for the full 30 second alarm
cycle.
NOTE: If the optional interior illumination circuit was installed, the interior light will flash as well
for the full 30 second alarm cycle.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
1. As you approach the vehicle, press and release the Unlock/Disarm button on the keychain
transmitter.
The dash mounted LED turns off. If passive arming is selected on, the LED will start flashing
rapidly, indicating that the system is re-arming automatically. Open any door to suspend the auto-
matic arming. Parking Lights flash two times. If the parking lights flashed three times, then
the alarm was triggered in your absence. Before turning the key on, examine the LED to identify
which zone was triggered. Siren sounds two chirps. If the siren sounds 4 chirps, then the alarm
was triggered in your absence. Before turning the key on, examine the LED and refer to the
INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS section of this manual to identify which zone was triggered.
If the siren did not sound when disarming, then the chirps have been turned off
and you should refer to the section titled “ELIMINATING THE ARM / DISARM CHIRPS“ in this
manual.
Doors Unlock - Optional
NOTE: If the optional Interior illumination feature has been added as an added convenience,
the system will turn on the interior lights when the system is disarmed.
WHILE THE SYSTEM IS SOUNDING
If during a triggered state, you wish to shut off the siren without disarming your security system,
simply press and release any transmitter button other than the Unlock/Disarm button. This action
