PAGER USAGE & C ARE PRECAUTIONS Your 2-way pager is a delicate device that can be easily damaged by excessive vibration, heat, direct sunlight, humidity, dirt, oil and water. Small particles in a very dirty pocket can also damage the pager over time. Never immerse your pager in water.
System Operation Be sure to read the “Arming Mode ARMING Note” at the bottom of page 9. NORMAL ARMING This method is the typical way to Arm, with the shock sensor enabled. Ensure that all doors are closed and then press Button-I on the Pager remote.
System Operation NO CONFIRMATION CHIRP ARMING This method is identical to “Normal Arming” except there is no siren chirp- ing after you Arm or Disarm. Ensure that all doors are closed and then press Button-III on the Pager remote. After you press But- ton-III, the doors will lock and hazard lights will flash once (if supported).

System Operation AUTO-ARM PROGRAMMABLE This method of Arming is disabled by default — see page 11 in the 1480 or 1460 Owner’s Guide to program it. This feature automatically Arms your system when you do the following: (1) Turn Ignition ON, (2) Turn Ignition OFF, (3) Open a Door and then (4) Close the Door.
System Operation DISARMING NOTE: To Disarm without a remote, see pg.5 in the 1480/1460 Owner’s Guide. NORMAL DISARMING This is the typical way to Disarm, with confirma- tion chirps ON. Press Button-I on the Pager while Armed. Doors will then unlock and hazards will flash 3 times (if supported).
System Operation HIGH SECURITY DISARM continued... Your first press of Button I, II or III stops the trigger (i.e., kills the siren, or kills hazard light flash if in Silent Mode). Your second press Disarms the system. In other words, “two presses” are required to Disarm when- ever something triggers the full siren blast.
System Operation PAGER RESPONSE TO FACTORY REMOTE & 1480/1460 PROGRAM SWITCH Operation of the 1480 using your factory remote is described on pag- es 3-6 in the 1480/1460 Owner’s Guide, while 3rd party remote start- ers are described on page 7. Below you can see how the pager responds when the factory remote and Program Switch are used, as well as when the engine is remote-started (see RSCM on page 7 of the 1480/1460 Owner’s Guide).
System Operation Not available on the 1460. DIRECT DOOR LOCK Push Buttons Not available on some cars. & Pressing Button-II & Button-III at the same time for a short duration will lock or unlock the doors (if sup- ported) without Arming or Disarming the security sys- tem.
AL ARM TRIGGERS 2-STAGE SENSOR TRIGGER 1st Stage (“Warning Chirps”). When the shock sensor detects a light impact, the siren will chirp 5 times, the pager will beep and update icons as shown in Fig-6 below. Any optional sensors can you have installed can also trigger the 5 warning chirps. No chirps will be produced in Sensor Bypass Mode or Silent Mode.
AL ARM TRIGGERS IGNITION TRIGGER There are two different modes that pertain to Ignition triggers, as de- scribed on page 7 of the 1480/1460 Owner’s Guide. In either case, the pager icon is the same when you switch on the Ignition while Armed, as shown in Fig-8 below.
AL ARM TRIGGERS TRUNK TRIGGER Requires 1460 WHT/BLK wire connection. The siren will blast for 30s if the trunk is opened (without the remote) while Armed, and the LCD pager will emit a siren sound and update its icons as shown in Fig-10 below. TRUNK TRIGGER TRUNK ICON...
SPECIAL PAGER FEATURES LCD BACKLIGHT Push the Button At night or in a dark room, the pager’s LCD may be- come difficult or impossible to see. To illuminate the LCD, simply press the pager’s button and a green EL backlight will turn on for 5s. The backlight is very weak in order to conserve battery power, which means you probably won’t be able to see it during the day or in a well-lit room.
Installation & Learning READ THIS FIRST Installation is very easy, as it amounts to little more than attaching two connectors and taping the antenna unit to the car. However, you will need to gain access to the 1480/1460 security system control module. And if you did not install that yourself, you may not know where it is.
INSTAL L ATION Two connectors on back are for firmware programming only. 1480/1460 Control Module Program Switch Shock Sensor Main Harness Antenna Unit “A” Pillar The “CALL” button is non-functional. Suggested Mounting Location MOUNTING STEPS 1) First locate the 1480/1460 Control Module, which is most likely installed on the driver’s side, behind the cover just above the brake and accelerator pedals.

Disarming your car. I SOMETIMES CAN’T LOCK or UNLOCK or START THE ENGINE. You probably have your VISION Pager on the same keychain as your factory keyless remote. If so, RF interference between the two remotes is preventing the factory remote from working.
TROUBL ESHOOTING TRANSMITTER BATTERY DIED. If you don’t see any icons on the LCD, put in a fresh AAA battery. To Dis- arm when your pager is not working, simply press Unlock on your factory remote, or use Manual Disarming (pg.5 in the 1480/1460 Owner’s Guide). CAN’T MAKE SIREN TRIGGER AFTER ARMING.
Page 26
TROUBL ESHOOTING I TRIGGERED THE ALARM SIREN FOR A VERY LONG TIME BUT THE PAGER ONLY UPDATED ME TWICE. This is normal. In most cases the pager will not report more than 2 no- tifications per session. But if there is a long enough delay between trig- gers (e.g., between multiple shock sensor triggers), then the pager should notify you each time the trigger occurs.
