The patented ATV
TM
technology, which is standard on all Crime Guard
models, is the only defense against an inherent weakness found in any
remote-controlled vehicle security system. In all such systems, allowance
is made for multiple transmitters to operate the system. In a matter of
seconds, anyone familiar with the programming procedure can easily code
their own unauthorized transmitter into the system. Although every vehicle
remote-controlled keyless entry or security system is susceptible, Crime
Guard security systems audibly alerts you if the system’s programming
mode has been accessed and visually informs you at all times of the number
of remote controls capable of operating your system. Someday this technology
will be standard on all remote-controlled keyless entry and security systems;
today, only the most advanced systems offer this complete protection.
How It Works
:
Audible ATV
TM
Warning:
Anytime the system has a transmitter programmed,
for 48 hours thereafter the siren will emit a brief series of chirps every time
the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. This audible warning alerts you that the
system has had transmitter programming activity. Please note that the
audible ATV
TM
Warning, in addition to the extended Status Indicator Light
visual display, will be active for the first 48 after the system is installed.
Visual ATV
TM
: In normal everyday use, for a period of 10 seconds after the
vehicle’s ignition is turned on, the system’s Status Indicator Light reports the
total number transmitters which can operate the system. However, if the
ATV
TM
Warning has been activated, this visual display period is extended to
90 seconds. For example: After turning on the vehicle’s ignition, if the Status
Indicator Light flashes twice between pauses, two transmitters are
programmed to operate the system. If the indication were three flashes
between pauses, three transmitters are capable of operating the system.
In the event that the ATV
TM
Warning is activated, or if the Status Indicator
Light a shows different number of authorized transmitters, you can easily
reprogram your transmitters to eliminate the threat. (please refer to page 22)
Personal security advisement:
Only recently have law enforcement
authorities discovered the prevalence of this type of theft, as it is virtually
undetectable. In most of these cases, the theft of personal items from the
vehicle has been dismissed as the owner’s failure to lock the vehicle’s doors!

is a sophisticated, yet flexible security and
convenience system. Many of its operations may be configured as the user
desires- “Programming Mode” allows you the ability to configure 20
operational features. Another programming level allows you to add
transmitters to operate your system, and an additional programming level
enables you customize the SecureCode.
Your vehicle ignition key and the Valet Switch are used to enter the
Programming Mode, following the three steps listed below. Once in
Programming Mode, the Valet Switch is used to access the desired feature,
and the transmitter is then used to change the chosen feature’s status. During
the process, the siren and the Status Indicator Light indicate certain conditions
of Programming Mode and the chosen feature’s status.
Once the system is in Programming Mode, the Valet Switch is then
pressed and released the number of times equal to the feature number which
is to be accessed for programming. After pressing the Valet Switch as many
times as the feature number, the siren will chirp the same number of times
and the Status Light will also flash the same number, between pauses.
Once the feature has been selected its status, or setting, can be chosen by
pressing the appropriate button on the transmitter. Basically, pressing the
transmitter’s Large Upper Button turns the feature on, or pressing the
transmitter’s Small Lower Button turns the feature off. Features which are
not “on or off” features, such as the alarm duration of 30 or 60 seconds, are
noted otherwise.
To Enter Programing Mode:
Step 1:
Turn the vehicles’s ignition on.
Step 2:
Turn the ignition off.
Step 3:
Within 5 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch 5 times.
-The siren will chirp then sound briefly and the Status Light will
flash to confirm that the system is entering Programing Mode.
-Once in Programming Mode, if 10 seconds of no programming
activity occurs, the system will exit Programming Mode. Pro-
gramming activity is the pressing of the Valet Switch or press-
ing a transmitter button once a feature is accessed.
To Access a Feature:
Step 4:
Within 10 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch the same
number of times as the desired feature’s number.
-The siren will chirp and the Status Light will flash as many times
as the Valet Switch was pressed to indicate the feature number
which is now accessed.
