ABOUT YOUR NEW CRIME GUARD SYSTEM
Congratulations on your purchase of a new Crime Guard security system.
Crime Guard systems combine the benefits of easy-to-use convenience with
“no nonsense” protection of person and property. Please review this guide
to become familiar with your Crime Guard vehicle security system. Three
principal components are used to operate your system.
The Remote Control Transmitter
operates your system. Two pre-
learned remote controls, or “transmitters”, are included, and as many as four
transmitters can operate your system. Your Crime Guard system can also be
operated by the optional Omega Echo 2-way controller, which emulates the
sounds that your system makes and shows visual indications of its operation.
The transmitter has four buttons: A large upper left
button, marked with a “LOCK” icon; a large upper
right button, marked with an “UNLOCK” icon; a
small lower left button with 2 raised dots; and
small lower right button with 3 raised dots. The
transmitter also has a small green light inside, be-
tween the two large buttons, which illuminates
whenever a button is pressed and thus a signal is
being transmitted.
The transmitter uses a small “coin” type battery
for its power. The battery should last about one year,
but of course will vary depending on frequency of
transmitter use. The battery should be replaced when
the operating distance become noticeably less, or if the
green indicator light does not illuminate when a button is pressed. To change
the battery, insert a small straight-blade screwdriver in the slot on the lower
right edge of the transmitter, and pry the case halves apart. Slide the old
battery downward to remove, replace it with a new CR2032 type battery, and
then simply snap the transmitter case halves back together.
The Status Light
shows the armed / disarmed / Valet Mode status of the
security system at all times, and also serves as a visual deterrent to break-ins
and theft. The Status Light will also show the number of operating
transmitters every time the ignition key is turned on, and should the system
trigger, sounding an alarm and flashing the lights, it will indicate which
protected zone was violated.

The optional Omega Echo transceiver has several user-programmable features:
✓
Chirp or Mute The chirps may be turned off, and replaced with vibration.
✓
Vehicle Type Choices are a passenger car, pickup truck, or van/SUV.
✓
Time Adjust To set the Echo’s clock time.
✓
Start Melody; and Stop Melody These are played with remote starting.
Programming these features is a sequential process- the controller is placed into
programming mode, then each programmable operation is accessed in turn, and either
changed as desired, or left as is, and then the next step is accessed. Programming is done
using the Echo unit’s three round side buttons:
Programming the Echo:
• The “CARJACK” icon within the vehicle’s front tag frame indicates that this
operation has been activated, which can be performed by any of three methods.
• On the vehicle’s windshield is a “hammer” and “impact” icon. When the shock
sensor detects light impact, causing the system to prewarn, the “impact” icon
alone will momentarily appear, accompanied by three chirps. If the sensor
detects a harder impact or breaking glass, activating the system, the full
hammer and impact icon appears, and the transceiver chips until any button is
pressed, and the icon remains flashing until the ignition switch is turned on.
• The “DOOR” icon will indicate that the system was activated via the door
detection circuit. The transceiver chirps until any button is pressed, and the
icon remains flashing until the ignition key is turned on.
• If the Crime Guard system is connected to an optional remote starting module, the
“start” icon at the rear of the vehicle confirms remote starting. This icon is
accompanied by a musical melody, and stays on while remote starting is operating;
during which the puffs will change to appearing sequentially.
• The “2” within a circle indicates use of the Auxiliary Channel #2, which is most
commonly used for a remote trunk release feature.
• The “transmitting tower” icon is an in-range indicator. It is present if the last
transmission from the transceiver was answered by a return signal from the
system. Should the transceiver be operated, and no return signal is received,
this icon will disappear.
• The various lines at the upper rear of the vehicle graphic represent a unique
Omega feature which allows the user to customize the vehicle type represented
by the display. Options are: passenger car, pickup truck, and sport utility/van.
• The system will only transmit a signal to the Echo transceiver if the Echo was
last used to operate the system (as in Arming or Disarming it). Example: if
the transmitter is used to Arm the system, the system will not transmit a signal
which will cause the Echo to chirp and change its icons.
• If multiple Echo transceivers are programmed to operate the system, the system
will send its signal to only one transceiver- the last one used.
• If the “MUTE” vibrating operation is selected, turning off the chirps, the remote
starting melodies are also replaced by vibration.
