Siren or Horn Chirps
(
ON
by default.) The siren will chirp to confirm basic operations on the System:
By default, upon
locking
the doors the siren will give
one chirp
if no protection zone is active.
If a
zone is active
as the doors are being
locked
, the siren will give
three chirps
.
When the doors are being
unlocked
, the siren will give
two chirps
if no intrusion was detected.
If an
intrusion was detected
, as the doors are being
unlocked
the siren will give
four chirps
.
The system can alternatively be set to:
Warning Mode:
no chirp during lock/unlock…
unless a zone is active when locking, in which case there will be 3 chirp upon locking
or unless the alarm was triggered, in which case there will be 4 chirps when unlocking);
Open Zone Notification Mode:
3 warning chirps if a door is left open 10 sec. after arming.
No Chirp:
the siren will not chirp under any circumstance.
Disarmed Notification
(Off by default.) This feature will notify the user when the vehicle was left disarmed: after the
engine is shut down (with the key removed) and all doors are closed, the siren will chirp once after
a 10-sec. notification delay to warn the user that the vehicle was left unprotected. The notification
can be avoided by pressing the
LOCK
or
UNLOCK
button on the transmitter.
The user will likewise be notified after the System is disarmed using the transmitter.
Car Finder
(Enabled by default.) When enabled, the Car Finder option will help you locate your vehicle by
generating a pulsating signal through the horn or the siren. To hear the signal, press
LOCK
and
UNLOCK
simultaneously. This will cause one chirp and one flash of the lights every time you repeat
the sequence.
Flashing LED
There are three programmable options regarding the flashing LED:
i.
Active arming
: the LED flashes normally.
ii.
Passive arming
: the LED flashes at an accelerated pace during the countdown
before the activation of the starter kill and the security system. Once the starter kill
and the security system are armed, the LED will flash at a slower pace.
iii.
Valet Mode
: the LED will remain on but will not flash.
Troubleshooting Transmitting Range
Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are:
•
The condition of the battery in the transmitter.
•
The operating environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency noise, airports, cellular
phone towers…)
•
Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the metal in the car.
•
The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well; vans in general have an especially poor range.
•
The shape of the roof and A-pillars brings about considerable radio-frequency deflection (in this
case the signal from the remote control). As a result, the direction in which the vehicle is facing
in relation to the remote control can affect the range. Straight on – standing in front of the
vehicle – generally gives you the greatest range; the second best performance is from the back.
Using the remote control from either side of the vehicle will usually give the lowest range.
•
The range will be significantly lower in a crowded parking lot than in open space.
•
Always hold the transmitter high, approximately at shoulder height. Holding the transmitter
against your chin will also increase your range: your head acts as an antenna.
•
The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or factory
alarm
.
Intrusion Codes through the LED Light
If there has been an intrusion in the vehicle while it was locked and armed, the LED will provide an
intrusion code matching the type of the intrusion that took place. Disarm the alarm (
UNLOCK
) to identify
the intrusion. The LED intrusion codes are flashed in continuous loops:
