    under normal use. When the battery begins to weaken, the LED on the remote transmitter will light dimly and you will notice reduced operating range when using the remote transmitter. Your Warranty Your warranty card must be returned and the barcode serial number must not be removed.

  • Page 8: Transmitter Functions

    Transmitter Functions This system is programmable, making it possible to assign any trans- mitter button to any specific receiver function. The remote initially comes programmed with Standard Configuration, but may also be customized by an authorized dealer. The buttons in all of the instruc- tions in this manual correspond to a Standard Configuration remote.

  • Page 9: Using Your System

    Using Your System The buttons described in all instructions in this manual correspond to a standard configuration transmitter, unless otherwise specified. Arming You can arm the security system by pressing for one second. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound (chirp) and the parking lights will flash once.

  • Page 10: Disarming

    Heavy impacts trip a trigger sequence, which consists of the siren sounding continuously and the parking lights flashing for 30 seconds. If a door is opened, the siren immediately starts chirping and the parking lights start flashing to provide an instant response.

  • Page 11: Panic Mode

    To disarm the security system, turn the ignition key on and press and release the Valet DRW-35 switch within 15 seconds. The system should now disarm. If the system does not disarm, you may have waited too long to press the Valet switch; turn the ignition off and repeat the process.

  • Page 12: Valet Mode

    Valet Mode Valet Mode prevents your security system from arming and trig- gering either automatically or with the remote transmitter. In Valet Mode, the system will not arm, but all convenience functions remain operational. This feature is useful when washing or servicing your vehicle.

  • Page 13: Nuisance Prevention Circuitry

    Nuisance Prevention ® Circuitry Your security system has Nuisance Prevention Circuitry (NPC ) to ™ ™ prevent annoying false alarms. This circuitry is designed to prevent repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pinswitches or envi- ronmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc.

  • Page 14: Diagnostics

    Diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your system has the ability to constantly monitor all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It can detect any faulty switches or sensors and prevent them from disabling the entire system. It can also record and report any triggers that occur when you are away from your vehicle.

    was triggered in your absence. If you hear five chirps when you disarm, this indicates that a specific zone was triggered so many times that the NPC ™ has bypassed that zone. In both cases, the pattern of the flashing status LED indicates which zone was triggered (see Table of Zones).

  • Page 16: Code-Hopping

    Code Hopping ™ The receiver and transmitter use mathematical formulas called algorithms to change their codes each time the transmitter is used. This Code Hopping technology has been developed to increase the security of the unit. By following this set code sequence, the receiver and transmitter stay synchronized, even if the transmitter is used out of range of the vehicle.

  • Page 17: Programming Options

    Programming Options Programming options control your system's normal, operational set-up. Most options do not require additional parts, but some may require installation labor. This system's programming options are listed below, with the factory default settings in bold: Active arming (only with the remote) or passive arming (auto- matic arming 30 seconds after the last vehicle door is closed).
  • Page 18 Audio Sensor: Metal on glass, glass cracking, and breaking glass each produce distinctive acoustic signatures. The 506T audio sensor uses a microphone to detect these sounds, and then analyzes them with proprietary acoustic software to determine if the glass has been tampered with or broken. Backup Battery: The 520T Backup Battery ensures that the system stays armed, triggers the alarm and keeps the optional starter kill active if main battery power is disconnected.

  • Page 19: Glossary Of Terms

    Glossary of Terms Control Module: The "brain" of your security system. Usually hidden underneath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor that monitors your vehicle and controls all of the security system’s functions. Failsafe ® Starter Kill Relay: Located on-board the control module, this is an automatic switch controlled by the security system that prevents the vehicle's starter from cranking whenever the system is armed.
  • Page 20 Trigger or Triggered Sequence: The "setting off" or "tripping" of the alarm. A Triggered Sequence consists of the siren sounding and the parking lights flashing for 30 seconds. Valet Switch: A small, push-button switch mounted inside the vehicle, at a location determined by the installer. This switch is used to override the alarm when a transmitter is lost or damaged, or can be used to put the system into Valet Mode.

  • Page 21: Quick Reference Guide (Removable)

    QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE Arming the system with your remote: Press of your transmitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound, or chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. Disarming the system with your remote: Press again.
