Securecode - Omega Crime Guard 850i5 Operation Manual

Controller and Transmitter Protection
The Crime Guard 850i 5 features several security safeguards in one of the most
vulnerable areas of any remotely controlled system. These features are found in
both 2-way controllers and 1-way transmitters.
Code Jumping TM
It is quite easy, with the proper equipment, to record an alarm
or keyless entry system's transmitter signal, and simply play the captured signal
back to the system to defeat it. Crime Guard's Code Jumping renders such "code
grabbing" devices useless by randomly changing each signal that the controller or
transmitter sends.
Automatic Transmitter Verification
and/or transmitters which can operate the system, by flashing the Status Light with
this number for 10 seconds every time that the ignition key is turned on. When a
controller is used to operate the system, as part of its confirmation the number of
operating controllers and transmitters is also displayed on its icon screen.
Unauthorized Transmitter Alert
on by the user (see the next section, "How to Program Controllers and Transmitters").
When this protection feature is utilized, whenever a controller or transmitter is
added to operate the system, for 48 hours afterward a warning consisting of a brief
series of siren chirps sounds every time the vehicle's ignition is turned on.
Also during this 48 hour warning period, the 10 second Automatic Transmitter
Verification visual display will increase to being displayed for 90 seconds instead
of 10 seconds. When this feature is used and activated, after 48 hours the warning
chirps disappear and the Status Light flashing transmitter/controller number returns
to being displayed for 10 seconds.
How to Program Controllers or Transmitters
5
The Crime Guard 850i system is capable of being operated by as many as four
controllers or transmitters; these can be any combination of 1-way transmitters or
2-way controllers. Regardless of which, the transmitter or transceiver must be
encoded, or programmed, to the system in order to operate it (excepting the
originals, which were programmed at the factory).
The programming procedure is identical for a transmitter or for a controller.
Also, it is during the controller/transmitter programming procedure that the
Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature may be turned on.
Standard Programming: Using this method to program additional or replacement
controllers or transmitters does not affect Unauthorized Transmitter Alert.
Step 1 Have all controllers and/or transmitters which are to operate the system at
hand. Turn the ignition "on".

soon as the two chirps are heard, press the brake pedal but do not release the Valet
Switch. As soon as a second set of two chirps is heard, the Valet Switch may be
released. The system is now in Full Valet Mode. It does not matter in what order
the pressed or unpressed brake pedal occurs.
• Once the system is in Full Valet Mode the Status Indicator Light will slowly
alternate green and red to confirm that the system is in Full Valet Mode. This
indication is present whenever the system is in Full Valet Mode.
• There will be the single chirp reminder every time the ignition turns off. This
is for the Alarm Valet Mode part of the Full Valet Mode condition.
To Exit any of the 3 forms of Valet Mode, simply Press & Release the Valet
Switch at any time.
• The Status Indicator Light will turn off to confirm exit from either Alarm Valet
Mode, Starting Valet Mode, or both.

SecureCode

"SecureCode" allows the user to customize the number of Valet Switch presses
which are required to successfully perform an Emergency Override. The basic
Emergency Override procedure is described on pages 11-12. Instead of a single
"1 press" of the Valet Switch which would be required in order to perform an
Emergency Override, two stages of Valet Switch presses must be made. In each of
the two stages, the Valet Switch will need to be pressed 1 through 9 times, as
programmed by the user. This is the Emergency Override procedure if the system
has programmed with a customized SecureCode:
Step 1 With the system in the armed condition, enter the vehicle via the driver's
door (be aware that the system will activate to an alarm condition when the
door is opened).
Step 2 Using the ignition key, turn the vehicle's ignition switch on.
Step 3 Within 5 seconds press and release the Valet Switch the same number of
times that have been programmed for stage #1.
Step 4 After a few seconds, the siren will stop sounding, chirp once, and then
resume sounding.
Step 5 Now, within 5 seconds press and release the Valet Switch the same number
of times that have been programmed for stage #2. Within a few seconds
the siren will stop sounding, and the unit will disarm.
Once the system is disarmed, if Valet Mode is desired, just press and hold the
Valet Switch for 2 seconds to place the system into Valet Mode. Should a mistake
be made entering the SecureCode, after a failed attempt to achieve SecureCode, the
ignition switch must be turned off, then on again before another attempt is made.
