USER INSTRUCTIONS
CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase of the CHAL-
LENGER PLUS remote vehicle alarm. You now own the most
reliable security system available today, utilizing the latest state
of the art technology. It is American made, designed and engi-
neered by leading experts in the security industry.
The CHALLENGER PLUS comes with two 2-button code
learning remote transmitters, flashing L.E.D., electronic sensor,
and many additional features. It can be programmed as a manual
or passive system. A number of these safety and convenience
features can be programmed into your system either by the
installing dealer, or in some cases yourself (explained below).
With minimum care and upkeep, this alarm will give you many
years of service and protection. Read the following information
carefully. It will help you get the best from your system.
A) MANUAL OPERATION
1) TO ARM – Press the left button.You will hear 1 chirp,
parking lights will flash 1 time, and the L.E.D. will flash slow
ly after button is pressed.This indicates your system is
armed.
2) TO DISARM – Press the left button.You will hear 2
chirps, parking lights will flash 2 times and the L.E.D. will no
longer flash indicating the system is disarmed. If doors are
not open before 30 seconds, alarm will re-arm itself.
B) PASSIVE OPERATION
1) TO ARM – If your installing dealer has installed the
CHALLENGER PLUS as a passive system, the alarm will
arm automatically approximately 30 seconds after the last
door is closed. (Note: you can also arm immediately by
pressing the left button as in #1 above).
2) TO DISARM – Disarm system same as in #2 above.
3) VALET – Your dealer installed a valet (push button)
switch in a convenient location in the dashboard area.To
activate the valet, push for 5 seconds prior to turning off
the engine.The L.E.D. will stay on (non-flashing) while the
vehicle is in Valet.You can now leave the vehicle without
arming the system.While in valet, with the alarm inactive,
you can still lock/unlock your doors with the remote trans-
mitters. See section C.To deactivate from the valet mode,
turn on the ignition and press the valet switch for 5 seconds.
C) DOOR LOCK AND UNLOCK
1) If your vehicle has electronic (automatic) door locks,
and your dealer connected them to the alarm, the
CHALLENGER PLUS will also lock when arming and unlock
when the system is disarmed in either manual or passive
operation.
2) Your system can be programmed by the dealer not to
lock in the passive mode. In this case your system will arm
passively, but you must press the left button to lock the
vehicle.
3) Your door locks can also be programmed by your deal-
er to lock when the ignition is turned on and to unlock
when the ignition is turned off.
If you have questions, ask your dealer to explain these very conve-
nient features to you.
D) AUDIO-VISUAL WARNING INDICATORS –
When disarming, if you hear 3 chirps (instead of the normal
2) and the L.E.D. is flashing rapidly, it means either an entry
violation was attempted or your vehicle was bumped hard
enough to cause the alarm to trigger (check your vehicle to
make sure everything is working and there is no damage).
E) REMOTE PANIC – An important safety feature on your
CHALLENGER PLUS system is a remote panic which will trig-
ger your alarm a substantial distance away. Press left button
for 3 seconds until siren sounds.To stop the siren, press the
left button.
F) STARTER INTERRUPT – As added protection, the
CHALLENGER PLUS has a built-in starter interrupt.When the
system is armed, the vehicle cannot be jump started, hot
wired, or started with a key.This makes it extremely tough
on any theft attempt.When you use your transmitter to
disarm the system, the vehicle can then be started normally.
