Smart prior intrusion attempt alert
If you hear three chirps when you remotely disarm, it means that a trigger or sensor was
activated in your absence. When you enter the vehicle and turn on the ignition (or start
the engine), the LED will blink 1-5 times, pause, then repeat the blink cycle 4 more
times. Count the number of blinks in one cycle and refer to the chart on page 19.
High-output MultiSound Medallion™ Siren
All the siren electronics are in the system control unit rather than the siren itself. This protects
them from heat, dirt and exposure to the elements (other alarm companies’ sirens are far
more susceptible to failure). Your IntelliGuard 900-IQ also provides these additional features:
Personalized Siren Sounds:
Most alarm sirens have a single “warble” tone. A few
offer “six-tone” sirens that cannot be adjusted or require destruction of circuit wires to
change the sounds (the change is permanent and cannot be changed again). Your siren is
different. As shipped from the factory, it sounds six different alarm sounds. However,
you may turn any of the six sounds on or off to create a different combination of sound
patterns. In all, there are 64 different combinations. You may set your own Personalized
Siren Sounds so if you hear a siren at a distance, you will know for sure whether it is
your car or someone else’s. See User-selectable features on pages 21-25.
SilentNight™:
Automatically silence the arm and disarm chirps during nighttime hours.
When you remotely arm and disarm when parked in the sunlight, the normal or QuietChirps
(whichever you’ve set) will sound. See User-selectable features on pages 21-25.
QuietChirps™:
You can control the volume of the normal arm and disarm chirps. As
shipped from the factory, your system issues full-volume chirp acknowledgments. If
you prefer, you may reduce the chirp volume to a level that is clearly audible, yet less
obtrusive. See the User-selectable features section on pages 21-25.
Long-term chirp silencing:
Whenever you wish, you may silence your IntelliGuard
900-IQ’s arm and disarm chirps until you decide to restore them. The parking light
flashes will continue to provide visual confirmation of remote controlled arming and
disarming. See User-selectable features on pages 21-25.
Remote controlled chirp muting:
Remote controlled chirp muting capabilities are
especially valuable when parking late at night in a quiet residential area or any other
time when you want to arm or disarm silently. To arm or disarm silently, simply press
button 3 (channel 3) on your remote control instead of the usual button 1 (channel 1).
Siren duration:
When the system detects an intrusion attempt, the alarm is set to sound
for 30 seconds. However, if you prefer, you may change it to 60 seconds. See the
User-selectable features section on pages 21-25.
SmartPowerUp™ II
If power to the system is ever removed, SmartPowerUp II ensures the system automatically
restores itself to its previous state when power is restored. So if a thief disconnects the
power and then restores it in an attempt to start the car, the system will re-arm and
instantly sound the siren while immobilizing the vehicle. If your vehicle is to be serviced by
a mechanic, just put the system in valet mode via the remote control (see page 20). If the
mechanic needs to interrupt power, your system will automatically return to its valet
mode state when power is restored; there will be no alarm activation and no need to
provide your mechanic with your remote control and instructions on how to use it.
