System Features Learn Routine - Avital AviStart 3200 Installation Manual

system features learn routine

The System Features Learn Routine dictates how the unit operates. It is possible to access and change any of the
feature settings using the Valet/program switch. However, this process can be greatly simplified by using the
optional Personal Computer Interface or Bitwriter (p/n 998T). Any of the settings can be changed and then
assigned to one of up to four transmitters. This feature is called Owner Recognition. Each time that a particular
transmitter is used to disarm the system, the assigned feature settings will be recalled. Owner Recognition is only
possible when programming the unit via the computer interface or hand-held programmer.
If programming with the PC interface or the Bitwriter (p/n 998T), the learn routine can be locked or
unlocked. If the learn routine has previously been locked, it must be unlocked before proceeding with repro-
gramming the learn routine. This must be done by using either p/n 998T or the PC Interface module - this cannot
be done manually with the Valet switch. If the learn routine is locked, features cannot be changed.
The System Features Learn Routine dictates how the unit operates. Due to the number of features, the fea-
tures have been divided into two menus. It is possible to access and change any of the feature settings
using the Valet/Program switch. However, this process can be greatly simplified by using the optional DEI®
Bitwriter or 996T Personal Computer Interface. Any of the settings can be changed and then assigned to one of
up to four transmitters, a feature called Owner Recognition. Each time that particular transmitter is used to
disarm the system, the assigned feature settings will be recalled. Owner Recognition is only possible when pro-
gramming the unit via the 996T or the 998T DEI Bitwriter.
Using the optional DEI Bitwriter or PC Interface, the learn routine may be locked. Make sure the learn routine is
unlocked before programming features. If the horn generates one long honk when attempting to program the
unit, the learn routine is locked and must be unlocked using the DEI Bitwriter or PC before proceeding.
The programmable operating settings of this unit can be changed whenever necessary through the computer-
based Learn Routine. The Valet®/Program push-button switch, plugged into the blue port, is used together with
a programmed transmitter to change the settings. To program settings, remember: Key, Select Menu, Choose,
Transmit and Release.
