Manually Overriding Your System - Audiovox Prestige APS-25HJ Owner's Manual

was made to a hood or trunk pin switch that was added to the system, or to a light activated entry
point if the alarm was installed using the voltage sensing feature.
If the L.E.D. is flashing three times...pause...three times...pause...etc., then an intrusion attempt
was made through one of the vehicle's doors.
These intrusion warning indicators are stored in the system's memory, and will only be erased
when the ignition key is turned on.
VALET SWITCH
The valet switch allows you to temporarily bypass all alarm functions, eliminating the need to
hand your transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics. When the system is in valet
mode, all alarm functions are bypassed, however the remote panic feature, remote door locks,
and secured Anti Hi-Jack mode will remain operational. To use the valet mode, the system must
first be disarmed either by using your keychain transmitter, or by manually overriding the sys-
tem.
1. Enter the vehicle, and turn the ignition key to the on position.
2. Within 5 seconds move the valet toggle switch to the on position. The dash mounted
L.E.D. will turn on solid, and remain on as long as the system is in valet mode.
3. To return to normal operation, move the valet switch back to the off position any time the
ignition is on.
NOTE : Always remember to move the valet switch back to the off position. This will ensure that
the vehicle remains protected at all times.

MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM:

USING THE VALET SWITCH MANUAL OVERRIDE
Your Security System can be disarmed without the use of the keychain transmitter. This is
necessary, since you will need the ability to operate your vehicle if the transmitter is lost or its
battery fails.
To by-pass the alarm system:
1. Open the vehicle door. The alarm will sound.
2. Start with the Valet Switch in the off position.
3. Turn the ignition key to the on position.
4. Within 5 seconds, turn the valet switch to the on position.
The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the valet, (by-passed) mode. This is indicated by
the dash mounted LED turning on. You can now start and operate the vehicle normally.
Typically this override mode is used only if the transmitter has become inoperative. After repair
or replacement of the transmitter, returning the system to the full operation mode is necessary.
To do so, see item 3 under the heading VALET SWITCH.
ELIMINATING THE NORMAL ARM / DISARM CHIRPS
If you find the normal arming and disarming chirps annoying, they can be turned off perma-
nently. To do this,
