- Page 2 Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of your Freedom-400 vehicle security system. It is most important to note that the Freedom-400 has a unique and flexible design, which allows the system to be installed in several configurations, or lev- els of sophistication, and thus affects the total operations. The exact operations of your system reflect this, and therefore it is most important that this operations guide be carefully read and referred to.

- Page 4 The Status Indicator Light and the LED Status Indicator Light are supplied with the Freedom-400 system kit, but are not absolutely necessary for the system’s operation. Therefore, these items may or may not be present with your system. Most imortantly, consult with the installer; if the Valet/Override Switch is installed, as to the location of this switch.

• The optional starter interrupt, if installed, will engage. • If installed, the Status Indicator Light will begin to flash slowly. • Another option is having the doors automatically lock when- ever the system is armed. This requires connecting an opt- ional interface (the Omega “DM-1”). Page 6... -
Page 6: System Armed & Activated
In addition to detecting impacts to the vehicle and detecting a current draw from the battery (example- interior light illuminating from opened door), the Freedom- 400 has a detection circuit which may be used to protect the hood, trunk or doors. -

rearm itself to detect further entry attempts. If a protected zone is still open at the end of the activation cycle, the system will continue to reactivate itself, for up to six activated cycles before it resets itself and ignores the violated zone.

then reset itself. • If the optional DM-1 doorlock interface was installed, the doors will also unlock upon disarming. Should the transmitter be lost, damaged, or its batteries be exhausted, the Valet /Override Switch & your vehicle’s ignition key may be used to disarm the system by performing an Emergency Override, which is explained on pages 15-16. -
Page 9: Remote Panic Operation
Remote Panic Operation Should you feel threatened or in need of attracting attention, the system can be activated remotely by using the transmitter. Your system features “Enhanced Panic”, which allows you to activate Remote Panic from either the “Arm” button or the “Disarm”... - Page 10 Remote Panic can be activated anytime, whether the vehicle’s ignition is turned on or off, and has a 60 second duration (regardless of the 30 or 60 second activa- tion setting) unless a transmitter is used to stop it. At the end of the 60 second cycle, the system will reset and be in either the armed state (if Remote Panic was activated by the “Arm”...
- Page 11 Shock Sensor & Prewarning The Freedom-400 vehicle security system is equipped with a built-in “shock” sensor which detects impact to the vehicle. As vehicles differ structurally, and mounting locations of the system control module vary, this shock sensor is easily adjustable.

Please Note- the center section of this booklet consists of complete Installation Instructions for your Freedom-400 security and convenience system. If desired, these pages may be removed, leaving only the Owner’s Guide booklet. Installation Mounting the Control Unit and Siren Assembly: Find a location in the engine compartment away from the extreme heat of the engine and manifolds. -
Page 13: Wiring Connections
After the control unit and siren assembly has been mounted, follow the instructions for each wire's connection. Please note that during the initial installation, as soon as the Black ground wire and Red Constant power wire have been connected, the system will enter Transmitter Programming Mode, which is explained on Pages 20-21. -

The Black wire's function is to supply - Ground, which completes the circuitry and allows the security system to operate. CONNECTION: Using its ring terminal, connect the Black wire to the metal frame of the vehicle, preferably using an existing machine-threaded fastener.
- Page 16 Red Wire - (+12 Volts Input): This is the second of two wires in which connection is required for the system to operate. The Red wire's function is to supply Constant +12 Volts to the security system. As noted on the previous page, when +12 Volts is first applied to the Red wire, the system will automatically enter Transmitter Programming Mode.

Or, if there are existing switches, the Blue wire may be connected directly, provided this is a- Ground switching circuit.
- Page 18 trunk circuit, the Blue wire may be spliced directly to the vehicle's wire. IMPORTANT: When wiring more than one of the vehicle's circuits and/or additional circuits to this wire, diode-isolation is usually required to maintain each circuit's proper operation (diodes are available at most electronics stores). An example would be wiring a hood pin switch and trunk light switch together.
- Page 19 in the engine compartment, the easiest way to locate the parking light wire is to access a corner running light on the fender, or a front parking light in the front bumper or fascia. The correct wire will typically show +12 Volts when the headlight switch is in the "Parking Light"...
- Page 20 the security system. Connecting this wire will prevent the system from being armed while the ignition switch is on, and its connection is required if the Valet/ Override is installed for the purpose of allowing the system to be disarmed without the transmitter (an “Emergency Override”).
- Page 21 Although the Freedom-400 can have basic operations without them, the Valet/ Override Switch and the Status Indicator Light greatly enhance the system. The Valet/Override Switch allows disarming the system without the transmitter and placing the system into a state in which it cannot be armed. The Status Indicator Light visually and quickly shows in which state the system is in.
- Page 22 Status Indicator Light: Mount the Status Indicator Light using the combination holder, or it may be mounted into an interior panel by drilling a 17/64” (6.5mm) hole. The control module and siren assembly’s Pink wire must be routed to the Status Indicator Light’s mounting location.

EMERGENCY OVERRIDE- How to Disarm the Security System Without the Transmitter: If the system is armed, and in the event that the transmitter is lost, damaged, or its batteries have become exhausted, the Valet /Override Switch & your vehicle’s ignition key may be used to disarm the system by performing an Emergency Override. - Page 27 Step 3: Within 5 seconds, Press the Valet/Override Switch. -The activated system will instantly disarm. When the Valet/Override Switch is pressed, and the system disarms, releasing the switch will place the system in standby mode. To put the system into valet mode, simply press the switch and hold it for 3 seconds.
