    n n o o t t e e : : Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function! The only ways to reset a bypassed zone are for it to not trigger for 60 minutes or to turn on the ignition. If test- ing your system, it is important to remember that this circuitry can cause zones to be bypassed and appear to stop work- ing.

If five short horn honks are heard, a zone was triggered so many times that false alarm prevention circuitry has bypassed that zone.

This means if the unit is in Valet Mode and the battery is dis- connected for any reason, such as servicing the car, when the battery is reconnected the unit will still be in Valet Mode.
