OPERATING THE SYSTEM

In this section, the operation of the system is described according to the
voice messages that are programmed into the siren control module. The
equivalent chirp tones are shown in parenthesis for those users that
have disabled the voice ( see blue wire loop ).
Additionally, if the relay included in the package was used to flash the
parking lights, the parking light indications will be shown in brackets
[ ].

1. Arming the System

A. Exit the vehicle, and close and lock all doors.
B. Press and release the larger arming button on the keychain transmit-
ter. The system will respond with "ARMED" ( one single chirp). [ one
flash ].
C. The red dash mounted L.E.D. will begin to flash, and after approxi-
mately six seconds, the shock sensing feature of the system will be
activated. The voltage sensing circuit will begin its countdown, and
after approximately three minutes, opening a light activated door will
trigger the alarm.
D. If the system has been installed using the automatic passive arming
feature, then 60 seconds after switching the ignition key off, the alarm
will automatically arm providing the hood and trunk lids are closed.
During the 60 second automatic arming cycle, the dash mounted
L.E.D. will flash rapidly.
IMPORTANT ! If the WHITE loop wire was cut during the installation
procedure, the voltage sensing feature of the alarm will become active
six seconds after arming the system ( see COMPLETING THE INSTAL-
LATION, WHITE Loop Wire ). You will not need to wait the three
minutes, before opening a door will cause the alarm to trigger.

2. Protection While the System is Armed

A. Opening a door ( or any light activated entry point ), will cause the
alarm to immediately sound for the complete 60 second alarm cycle.
If the relay was installed to flash the parking lamps, then the parking
lights will flash on and off during the 60 second alarm cycle.
B. If the relay was installed to disable the vehicle's starter, then any
unauthorized attempt to start the vehicle will be prevented.
C. While the system is armed, the red dash mounted L.E.D. will
constantly flash, discouraging any would be thieves.
D. Any light impact to the vehicle glass or body panels will cause the
system to immediately sound the warning chirps, discouraging any
further attempts to enter the vehicle.
E. Any forceful impact to the vehicle will cause the system to immedi-
ately trigger for the complete 60 second alarm cycle. At the end of the
cycle, the alarm will re - arm itself, and resume monitoring the vehicle.

3. Disarming the System

A. When you return to the vehicle, press and release the larger arming
button on the keychain transmitter. The system will respond with
" DISARMED " ( two chirps ). [ two flashes ].
B1. If the alarm has been wired for ACTIVE operation, then the red dash
mounted L.E.D. will turn off, indicating that the system is disarmed,
and it is safe to enter the vehicle.
B2. If the alarm has been wired for PASSIVE operation, then the red
dash mounted L.E.D. will begin to flash rapidly, indicating that the
system is disarmed, but in the automatic re - arming mode. Within
60 seconds of disarming the system, you will need to turn the ignition
key to the on position to stop the system from re - arming.

4. Disarming After an Intrusion

When disarming, if the system responds with " INTRUSION " ( four
chirps ) [ three flashes ], you are being alerted that the alarm was
triggered during your absence. Additionally, the red dash mounted
L.E.D. will blink 3 times .. pause .. blink 3 times .. etc., to provide an
added visual indication that the alarm had been triggered. These
intrusion indicators are stored in the system's memory, and will only be
erased when the ignition key is switched on.
5. Decreasing the Sensitivity of the Shock Sensor via the
Keychain Transmitter
There may be some circumstances when you will want to arm the
system, but decrease the sensitivity of the shock sensor, or simply turn
the shock sensor off. This feature can be useful during extreme
thunderstorms, or when parking on or near heavy construction sites.
To arm and decrease shock sensitivity,
A. Follow the normal arming procedure by pressing the larger button on
the keychain transmitter.
B. Immediately after arming, press and release the smaller button on the
keychain transmitter.
C. In approximately five seconds, the siren will sound one long chirp,

indicating that the sensitivity of the shock sensor has been reduced
30 percent.
To arm and turn the shock sensor off,
A. Follow the normal arming procedure by pressing the larger button on
the keychain transmitter.
B. Immediately after arming, press and release the smaller button on the
keychain transmitter two times.
C. In approximately five seconds, the siren will sound one short chirp,
followed by one long chirp, indicating that the shock sensor has been
turned off.
IMPORTANT ! Any time the shock sensor has been adjusted using the
keychain transmitter, disarming then re arming the system will return the
shock sensor to its normal operating sensitivity.

6. Remote Panic Operation

The alarm can be activated via the keychain transmitter to draw attention
to your vehicle during an emergency situation.

WARNING ! In most areas, it is illegal to activate the alarm while the
vehicle is moving. For the safety of your passengers and other motorists,
do not activate the alarm while your vehicle is in motion.

7. Valet Switch Operation

If you lose or misplace your keychain transmitter, or if the transmitter
fails to disarm the system, an emergency bypass switch is included to
temporarily disarm the system.
To use the switch;
A. Open the driver's door. The alarm will sound !
B. Insert the key into the ignition switch, and turn it to the "on" position.
