Unauthorized Transmitter Alert
TM
is a protection feature which may be turned
on by the user (see the next section, “How to Program Transmitters”). When this
protection feature is utilized, whenever a transmitter is added to operate the system,
for 48 hours afterward a warning consisting of a brief series of siren chirps sounds
every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned on.
Also during this 48 hour warning period, the 10 second Automatic Transmitter
Verification visual display will increase to being displayed for 90 seconds instead
of the usual 10 seconds. When this feature is used and activated, after 48 hours the
warning chirps disappear and the Status Light flashing the number of transmitters
returns to being displayed for 10 seconds.
Automatic Transmitter Verification
TM
shows the total number of transmitters
which can operate the system, by flashing the Status Light with this number for 10
seconds every time that the ignition key is turned on.
The Crime Guard system features several security safeguards in one of the most
vulnerable areas of any remotely controlled system. These features are:
Transmitter Protection
Code Jumping
TM
It is quite easy, with the proper equipment, to record an alarm
or keyless entry system’s transmitter signal, and simply play the captured signal
back to the system to defeat it. Crime Guard’s Code Jumping renders such “code
grabbing” devices useless by randomly changing each signal that the transmitter
sends.
The Crime Guard system is capable of being operated by as many as four
transmitters. Transmitters must be encoded, or programmed, to the system in order
to operate it (excepting the originals, which were programmed at the factory). It is
during the transmitter programming procedure that the Unauthorized Transmitter
Alert feature may be turned on if desired.
How to Program Transmitters
Step 1
Have all transmitters which are to operate the system at hand. Turn the
ignition “on”.
Standard Programming:
Using this method to program additional or replacement
transmitters does not affect Unauthorized Transmitter Alert.
Step 2
Within 5 seconds of turning on the ignition, press the Valet Switch 5 times.
The siren will briefly sound, confirming that for the next 10 seconds the
system is ready to learn a transmitter code. To enter a code, simply press
and release the “arm/lock” button (the button which is designed to arm the
“SecureCode” allows the user to customize the number of Valet Switch presses
which are required to successfully perform an Emergency Override. The basic
Emergency Override procedure is described on page 11. Instead of a single “1
press” of the Valet Switch which would be required in order to perform an
Emergency Override, two stages of Valet Switch presses must be made. In each of
the two stages, the Valet Switch will need to be pressed 1 through 9 times, as
programmed by the user. This is the Emergency Override procedure if the system
has programmed with a customized SecureCode:
Step 1
With the system in the armed condition, enter the vehicle via the driver's
door (be aware that the system will activate to an alarm condition when the
SecureCode

door is opened).
Step 2
Using the ignition key, turn the vehicle’s ignition switch on.
Step 3
Within 5 seconds press and release the Valet Switch the same number of
times that have been programmed for stage #1.
Step 4
After a few seconds, the siren will stop sounding, chirp once, and then
resume sounding.
Step 5
Now, within 5 seconds press and release the Valet Switch the same number
of times that have been programmed for stage #2. Within a few seconds
the siren will stop sounding, and the unit will disarm.
In addition to Emergency Override, if any of the three anti-carjacking features
are utilized, a correct customized SecureCode would also be required to turn off
anti-carjacking once it has become fully activated. How to program your own
customized SecureCode is explained on page 22.
Should a mistake be made entering the SecureCode for an Emergency Override,
after a failed attempt the ignition switch must be turned off, then on again before
another SecureCode entry attempt is made. Should two failed SecureCode attempts
be made, the system will ignore any further presses of the Valet Switch for two
minutes.
