Congratulations for your choice of a new K-9 vehicle security and convenience system by Omega
Research and Development. You will find that your new system will give you years of trouble-free
convenience and protection. To learn how to operate your system, please take a few moments to
become familiar with the following three principal user components: the
Remote Transmitter
, the
Status Light
and the
Valet Switch
.

The Valet Switch is used to place the system into "Valet Mode”, which turns off any automatic
system functions, such as Last Door Arming or Automatic Rearming, and also prevents arming the
system via the remote transmitter. The Valet Switch is also used, with the ignition key, to disarm the
security system in the event the transmitter becomes inoperable. It is also used for programming
features and transmitters.
The Remote Transmitter operates your system, and has four push-buttons, each having a
pictograph as to function. The basic operations are described on the facing page.
Each K-9 system is capable of being operated by up to four different remote transmitters. In addition,
this system may be easily upgraded to 2-way control, with the Omega Echo. This option allows you
to both control your system’s operations, and to receive status pages from it, which are audible alerts
and as a visual display upon an easy-to-understand LCD screen. Programming additional or
replacement transmitters, and a description of the Echo’s operations, are in later sections of this booklet.
The Status Light shows at a glance the various conditions that the security system can be in, and
also serves as a visual deterrent to break-ins and theft. The Status Light may be either red or blue.
The Status Light and Valet Switch can be mounted together, within a special housing, or
independently custom-mounted by the installer. If the optional 2-way Echo controller is used,
the Status Light and Valet Switch are likely on the window-mounted Echo transceiver unit.
impact, causing the system to prewarn, the “impact” icon alone will momentarily appear, accompa-
nied 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 is
turned on.
• 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 2nd channel output, 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.

Other Omega Echo Notes:
• The system will only transmit a signal to the Echo transceiver if the Echo was last used to operate
the system. 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.
