ARMING THE SYSTEM (CHANNEL 1): ACTIVE
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close and lock all doors, hood, and trunk.
2. Momentarily depress the button on the keychain transmitter. The siren will "chirp" once,
the doors will lock (optional), and the dash mounted LED will begin to slowly flash.
WARNING ! Excessive pressure on the transmitter button will damage the internal
components on the circuit board. All that is required is a light push to the button.
NOTE: If the siren "chirped" three times when ARMING, then one of the entry points
(hood ,trunk, doors) has been left opened. Closing the Hood, trunk, or door will correct
the problem, and you DO NOT have to disarm the system to make the correction.
1. Opening any door, hood, or trunk will cause the alarm to immediately sound. The siren will
continue to sound for 60 seconds, then stop and automatically re-arm the vehicle. If the
potential thief left a door opened, the siren will sound for four 60 second cycles, then re-
arm and ignore the opened door.
2. Whenever the system is armed, the Red dash mounted L.E.D. indicator will slowly flash.
This serves as a visual deterrent to the potential thief. The L.E.D. is a very low current bulb,
and will not cause the vehicle’s battery to drain, even when left unattended for extended
periods.
3. If the starter cut relay (optional) is installed, whenever the system is armed, the vehicle’s starter
will be bypassed. If a thief should choose to ignore the siren, the vehicle can not be started.
PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED:
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close and lock all doors, hood, and trunk.
2. The dash mounted L.E.D. will begin flashing rapidly, indicating that the system is
automatically (passive) arming. As an added convenience, the automatic passive arming
will not begin until all doors and trunk lid are closed, allowing passengers to exit the vehicle
at their convenience.
3. In 30 seconds, you will hear a single, short "chirp" from the siren, indicating the system
is ARMED. At this time, the dash mounted L.E.D. will begin to flash slowly, providing
a visual indication that the system is fully ARMED.
3A. If the optional door lock interface has been installed, the doors WILL NOT
automatically lock when the 30 second arming time expires.
4. If you wish to ARM the system immediately, simply press and release the button on the
keychain transmitter. The siren will "chirp" once, the doors will lock (optional), and the
dash mounted L.E.D. will begin to slowly flash.
