Manual Activation of Horn/Siren
To enhance personal security, with the system in an armed state, the siren may be manually triggered by
pressing the transmitter smaller button. The horn/siren will sound and the turn lamps flash for 15 seconds. To
stop the alarm, press either of the two buttons.
Transmitter Fob Battery Replacement
The transmitter fobs will normally operate within a range of 5 metres from the car, but this may be reduced
by the presence of other radio signals in the vicinity. A small LED tell tale on the transmitter fob will flash whilst
the button is held down to indicate correct operation, but if the lamp flashes irregularly or only once, transmitter
battery replacement is required.
The transmitters are powered by a long life 3V Lithium battery, type CR2032, which with normal use should
last for 3 years. To ensure continuity of operation, it is recommended to renew the batteries every 12 months:
- Using a small screwdriver, prise open the case in the areas marked 'open'.
- Remove the old battery and wait for 10 seconds before inserting the new battery with +ve sign uppermost,
and holding the battery only by the periphery.
- Align the locating studs, and firmly press the case together.
- The transmitter should now operate normally, but may require re-synchronisation with the control unit.
Transmitter Re-synchronisation
If at any time the transmitter does not function, and the battery is known to be good, carry out the follow-
ing re-synchronisation procedure:
- Stand close to the car and hold down both buttons on the transmitter until the LED on the fob is extinguished
(approx. 10 seconds).
- Release both buttons; the fob tell tale should come on constantly.
- Press the larger button for one second (the fob tell tale will flash). Synchronisation is complete.
Programming Additional Transmitter Fobs
Two transmitter fobs are provided with the new vehicle. If a transmitter is lost or damaged, a replacement
should be obtained immediately from your dealer, and programmed to the vehicle alarm controller using the
system owner's unique Personal Identification Number (PIN). Up to four transmitter fobs can be matched with
the alarm system, but all fobs must collectively undergo the single programming operation:
a). Before programming the transmitters, the PIN should first be verified. If the PIN is incorrect and a working
fob is prepared for reprogramming, all fobs may be disabled. To verify the PIN;
With the car immobilised (tell tale flashing), follow steps (3i) to (3iii) below (i.e. do not prepare any fobs).
If the PIN is correct, the tell tale should be extinguished, and the system mobilised. If not, the PIN is incor-
rect.
b). Having verified the PIN as above, proceed as follows:
1. Press, simultaneously, both buttons on a transmitter fob until the fob tell tale stops flashing (approx. 10
seconds). On release of the buttons, the fob tell tale will light.
2. Repeat operation (1) for ALL the transmitter fobs required to operate the system.
3. If the system is immobilised (security tell tale flashing):
i) Turn the ignition on and off 3 times within 7 seconds; the security tell tale in the tachometer will light
for 3 seconds.
ii) Enter the PIN: Immediately the tell tale goes out, switch ON the ignition and count the number of
security tell tale flashes until equal to the first number of the PIN, then turn the ignition OFF, then back ON
again.
iii) Repeat operation (ii) for the remaining 3 digits of the PIN, remembering to turn the ignition OFF and
back ON after each code number.
Note: If at any time a mistake is made when entering the PIN, turn the ignition OFF for 10 seconds and
re-commence entering the PIN.
iv). If the PIN is correct, the security tell tale will be out. Carry on with step 4.
4. With the system mobilised (security tell tale out):
i) Turn the ignition on and off 3 times within 7 seconds; the security tell tale in the tachometer will light
for 3 seconds.
