Arming The System - Active; Arming The System - Passive (Automatic) - Audiovox Prestige Platinum APS-785 Owner's Manual

Your APS-785 Remote Start Alarm System has many features and available options some of
which are selected at time of installation. For your reference, the list on page 9 of this
manual shows what features and options have been installed. Consult your installing dealer
for options that may have been installed and are not listed.
YOUR " ANTI -CODE GRABBING " TRANSMITTERS:
The transmitters included with your new remote start system use the most advanced and
secure form of radio frequency transmission available on any current automotive remote
system. Some of today's sophisticated auto thieves use a device known as a code grabber,
which will receive and store the signal from your keychain transmitter, and re-transmit at a
later time to disarm your system.
Your anti-code grabbing transmitters will change their signal every time the button is pressed,
so when a thief grabs then re-transmits your signal, the alarm system will not respond.
If your transmitter button is pressed more than fifty times while it is out of range of the
vehicle ( children playing with your keys ), the transmitter will not operate when you return
to the vehicle, and will need to be re-aligned to the receiver. To do this, simply press the
Lock/Unlock button two times within a one second time period. The system will now respond
to that transmitter each time a button is pressed.

ARMING THE SYSTEM - ACTIVE:

1. Turn the engine off, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood and trunk.
2. Press and release the Arm/Disarm button of your key chain transmitter one time.
The parking lights will flash once, the siren will chirp once, and the dash mounted LED will
begin to flash slowly confirming the system is armed. If you have the optional door lock/
unlock circuit installed, the doors will lock.
Note: If the siren chirped three times, then you have left a door, hood, or trunk ajar. Simply
closing that opening will provide full protection. If your vehicle has delayed interior
lighting, you may also get three chirps when arming. Once the light turns off, you will
hear one chirp confirming full arming. If the siren did not sound when arming, then the
chirps have been turned off. Refer to the section on "Eliminating the Arm/Disarm
Chirps" shown later in this manual.
SILENT ARMING - ACTIVE:
1. Turn the engine off, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood and trunk.
2. Press and hold the Arm/Disarm button of your key chain transmitter for two seconds.
The parking lights will flash once, and the dash mounted LED will begin to flash slowly
confirming the system is armed. The siren will not chirp. If you have the optional door lock/
unlock circuit installed, the doors will lock.
Note: If the siren chirps three times, then you have left a door, hood, or trunk ajar. Simply
closing that opening will provide full protection. If your vehicle has delayed interior
lighting, you may also get three chirps when arming. Once the light turns off, you will
hear one chirp confirming full arming.

ARMING THE SYSTEM - PASSIVE (AUTOMATIC)

If the passive arming feature has been selected:
1. Turn the engine off, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood and trunk.
The dash mounted LED will begin to flash rapidly indicating that the 30 second passive
arming timer has begun. If the LED does not begin to flash rapidly, then you have left a door,
hood, or trunk ajar. Closing this entry point will allow the arming cycle will begin. If any entry
point is opened during the 30 second arming cycle, arming will be suspended. When all
