using your system The buttons used in the instructions in this manual correspond to the standard transmitter configuration. If your transmitter has been custom configured, the icons on your transmitter buttons may not correspond to the indicated functions. arming with transmitter You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing on your trans- mitter for one second.
ally armed at that point. The system arms and the doors lock (if con- nected and programmed for passive locking) at 30 seconds, but the siren will not chirp. The early chirps provide you with a 25-second warning prior to arming. n n o o t t e e : : If any protected entry point (a door or a switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm.
Silencing section of this guide.) However, if the alarm completes the full trigger cycle when disarmed you will hear three chirps. disarming without a transmitter This feature allows you to disarm the system without the transmitter should it be lost, damaged, or disabled. In order to disarm without a transmitter, you must have the vehicle’s ignition key, know where the PlainView 2 Valet switch is located, and have the PIN code.
transmitter chirp muting To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use transmitter chirp muting. Simply press on the transmitter, and the confirmation chirp(s) will be eliminated for that one operation only. The parking lights will flash to confirm the arm/disarm command. If you want the arm/disarm chirps turned off permanently, please refer to the User- Selectable Features section of this guide.
intellistart and smartwindows sensor bypass When the system sees a command to start the vehicle via the Intellistart, it bypasses all sensors and will continue to bypass these sen- sors until the remote start shuts down. When the system sees a SmartWindows command for up or down operation, the unit will automatically bypass all sensors until the win- dows complete their operation.
disarm/valet mode Entering your pin code using the PlainView 2 Valet switch allows you to disarm the system or enter valet mode without using the transmit- ter. In valet mode, the security system will not arm, even with the trans- mitter, but all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) will continue to work normally.
transmitter valet mode To enter or exit Valet Mode, press The LED status indicator will light solid when Valet Mode is entered, or will turn off when Valet Mode is exited. one-time auto-arming bypass This will bypass the auto arm feature once only. With the key, turn the ignition on, then off within two seconds.
multiple event total recall This will report the last eight system triggers. Press and hold While still holding release the button. The LED will start to blink to indicate the most recent trigger and proceed down to the eighth trigger. If fewer than eight triggers are stored in memory, the LED will blink continuous- ly until the system is armed/disarmed using the transmitter or the ignition is turned on.
Doors are covered by FACT differently; if the alarm is triggered by an open door for three full cycles, the doors will be bypassed until the trig- ger ceases. FACT is programmable. See the Programming Options section of this guide. n n o o t t e e : : Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function! The only way to reset a bypassed zone is for 60 minutes or to turn on the igni- tion.
diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your security system is constantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors that are connected to it. It detects any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from dis- abling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence.
disarming diagnostics Extra disarm chirps are the Tamper Alert. If three chirps are heard when disarming, the system was triggered in your absence. If three chirps are heard, the LED status indicator will indicate which zone was involved when you turn the ignition on (see the Table of Zones section). The sys- tem will retain this information in its memory.
table of zones The zone number is the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify a specific input. The standard input assignments are listed below, along with spaces to write in any optional sensors or switches you have had installed. If the Warning Zone response is triggered, the LED will not report it.
high frequency Your system transmits and receives at 433 MHz. This provides a cleaner spectrum with less interference and a more stable signal. smart power up II This security system will store its current state to non-volatile memory. If power is lost and then reconnected the system will recall the stored state from memory.
Power Saver when the system is armed: After the system has been armed for 48 hours, the LED will flash at half its nor- mal rate, decreasing the system's current draw. Power Saver in Valet Mode: When the system enters Valet Mode the LED illuminates steadily.
