3 Button Remote Security System with
Shock Sensor & Starter Disable
IMPORTANT ! In order to provide the highest possible level of security to your vehicle, this
system is equipped with selectable manual override circuitry. It is possible that you will need
to manually override your security system if the transmitter becomes lost, or inoperative due
to battery failure. Reading the sections on “ MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM “ is
necessary to fully understand the procedure required to enable your vehicle in such situa-
tions. In addition, the chart on the last page of this manual has a section for the particular
features and options installed in your vehicle as well as the override method selected. Valet
Switch manual override is pre-selected from the factory, however, the system can be

YOUR “ ANTI CODE GRABBING “ TRANSMITTERS
The transmitters included with your new security system use the most advanced and
secure form of radio frequency transmission available on any current automotive security
system. Some of today’s sophisticated auto thieves use a device known as a code grabber,
which will receive and store the signal from your keychain transmitter, and re transmit at a
later time to disarm your system.
Your anti code grabbing transmitters will change their signal every time the button is pressed,
so when a thief grabs then re-transmits your signal, the alarm system will not respond.
If your transmitter button is pressed more than fifty times while it is out of range of the vehicle
( children playing with your keys ), the transmitter will not operate when you return to the
vehicle, and will need to be re aligned to the receiver. To do this, simply press button 1 two
times within a one second time period. The system will now respond to that transmitter each
time a button is pressed.
THE INFORMATION IN THIS MANUALREFERS TOTHE TRANSMITTER SHOWN
ON THE LEFT.
This transmitter can be configured in a number of different ways. If your
transmitter appears different than what is shown, please note specific infor-
mation concerning the Icon buttons listed on page 9

parking lights will flash 3 times when disarming the system. Enter the vehicle, and observe
the red dash mounted L.E.D. to identify which zone was triggered.
If the L.E.D. is flashing one time...pause...one time...pause...etc., then an intru-
sion attempt was made to the OPTIONAL shock sensor, or an accessory trigger-
ing device that may have been added to the system.
If the L.E.D. is flashing two times...pause...two times...pause...etc., then an
intrusion attempt was made to a hood or trunk pin switch that was added to the

Page 6
system, or to a light activated entry point if the alarm was installed using the
voltage sensing feature.
If the L.E.D. is flashing three times...pause...three times...pause...etc., then an
intrusion attempt was made through one of the vehicle’s doors.
These intrusion warning indicators are stored in the system’s memory, and will only be
erased when the ignition key is turned on.
VALET SWITCH
The valet switch allows you to temporarily bypass all alarm functions, eliminating the need
to hand your transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics. When the system is in
valet mode, all alarm functions are bypassed, however the remote panic feature and remote
door locks will remain operational. To use the valet mode, the system must first be disarmed
either by using your keychain transmitter, or by activating your personalized manual over-
ride code.
1. Enter the vehicle, and turn the ignition key to the on position.
2. Move the valet toggle switch to the on position. The dash mounted L.E.D. will
turn on solid, and remain on as long as the system is in valet mode.
3. To return to normal operation, move the valet switch back to the off position any
time the ignition is on.
NOTE : Always remember to move the valet switch back to the off position. This will ensure
that the vehicle remains protected at all times.
MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM:
USING THE VALET SWITCH MANUAL OVERRIDE
Your Security System can be disarmed without the use of the keychain transmitter. This is
necessary, since you will need the ability to operate your vehicle if the transmitter is lost or
its battery fails. If your system has been selected for Valet Switch manual override as
indicated on the last page of this manual, to by-pass the alarm system;
1. Open the vehicle door. The alarm will sound.
2. Start with the Valet Switch in the off position.
3. Turn the ignition key to the on position.
4. Within 5 seconds, turn the valet switch to the on position.
The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the valet, (by-passed) mode. This is indi-
cated by the dash mounted LED turning on. You can now start and operate the vehicle
normally.
Typically this override mode is used only if the transmitter has become inoperative. After
repair or replacement of the transmitter, returning the system to the full operation mode is
necessary. To do so, see item 3 under the heading VALET SWITCH.
PROGRAMMING THE CUSTOM CODE MANUAL OVERRIDE
Your Security System can be disarmed without the use of the keychain transmitter. This is
necessary, since you will need the ability to disarm the system if you lose your transmitter,
or if the transmitter battery fails. If your system has been selected for Custom Code manual
override as indicated on the last page of this manual, in order to provide the highest level of

Page 7
security, this system will allow you to program your personal manual override code. This
code isa(2)digit code. The first digit must be a digit from 1 through 9, and the second digit
must be either 1, 2, or 3.
To program your access code, the security system must be in the disarmed state. Once
disarmed, program your code as follows;
1. Turn the ignition key on, then off, then on.
2. Within 3 seconds of step 1, flip the Valet switch on, then off. The siren will
sound one short chirp, followed by one long chirp. This indicates that the
system is in the manual override programming mode.
3. The red dash L.E.D. will begin to count by flashing. Allow the L.E.D. to flash
until it gets to the first digit of your selected code.
4. As soon as the L.E.D. turns on for the corresponding number of your first digit,
quickly turn the ignition key;
1. off then on for second digit 1
2. off then on twice for second digit 2
3. off then on three times for second digit 3.
5. The siren will sound one short chirp, followed by one long chirp, indicating that
the code has been memorized.
6. After a 2 second pause, the L.E.D. will flash confirmation of the stored code,
beginning with the first digit, then a pause, then the second digit.
EXAMPLE : To program the manual override code 52, you would;
1. Turn the ignition key on, then off, then on.
2. Within 3 seconds of step 1, flip the Valet switch on, then off. The siren will
sound one short chirp, followed by one long chirp. This indicates that the
system is in the manual override programming mode.
3. Allow the L.E.D. to flash 5times, and during or immediately after the fifth flash,
quickly turn the ignition key to off, then on, then off, then on.
4. The siren will sound one short chirp, followed by one long chirp, indicating that
the code has been memorized.
5. After a 2 second pause, the L.E.D. will flash 5times, then pause, then flash 2
times. This confirms that the code 52 has been stored into memory.
USING THE CUSTOM CODE MANUAL OVERRIDE
It is very important that you understand how to operate the manual override feature, as
there may a time that you will need to bypass the alarm when your transmitter is not
working. You should also write down your personalized code number, and keep it in a safe
place for future reference.
To by pass the alarm,
1. Open the door. The alarm will sound.
2. Turn the ignition key to the on position. The alarm will stop for three seconds,
then the siren will begin counting with long chirps.
3. As soon as the chirp that corresponds with your first digit sounds, quickly turn
the ignition key ;
1. off then on if your second digit is 1

Page 8
2. off then on twice if your second digit is 2
3. off then on three times if your second digit is 3.
4. The alarm will stop sounding, and you can now start the vehicle.
EXAMPLE : To override the system using the example 52 above, you would,
1. Open the door. The alarm will sound.
2. Turn the ignition key to the on position. The alarm will stop for three seconds,
then the siren will begin counting with long chirps.
3. As soon as the fifth chirp has sounded, quickly turn the ignition key off then on
then off then on.
4. The alarm is now disarmed.
IMPORTANT NOTE : If you elect not to program a personalized manual override code, the
factory pre set code is 11. To override the alarm with this code,
1. Open the door. The alarm will sound.
2. Turn the ignition key to the on position. The alarm will stop for three seconds,
then the siren will sound a long chirp.
3. As soon as the chirp has sounded, quickly turn the ignition key off then on.
4. The alarm is now disarmed.
ELIMINATING THE NORMAL ARM / DISARM CHIRPS
As explained earlier in the manual, you can eliminate the chirps selectively any time you arm
or disarm the system simply by holding the ARM / DISARM button for two seconds. If you find
the normal arming and disarming chirps annoying, they can be turned off permanently,
eliminating the need to hold the ARM / DISARM button for two seconds. To do this,
1. Start with the valet switch in the off position, then turn the ignition key on then
off.
2. Within 10 seconds, move the valet switch to on then off three times.
3. If the chirps were on before you started, then you will hear 2 chirps indicating
they have been turned off.
If the chirps were off before you started, then you will hear one chirp indicating
they have been turned on.
NOTE : Whenever the chirps are by - passed, the 4 chirp intrusion indicator and 3 chirp
defective zone indicator will always operate. Since these are important warnings to you that
something has happened, they cannot be eliminated.
REMOTE PANIC OPERATION
The ARM / DISARM button on your keychain transmitter also functions as a panic switch for
use in emergency situations. To use remote panic,
1. Press and hold the ARM / DISARM button on the keychain transmitter for 3 or
more seconds. The alarm will immediately sound.
2. To stop the alarm, press and hold the ARM / DISARM button on the transmitter
again for 3 seconds. If the button is not pressed, the alarm will automatically
stop after 30 seconds.
NOTE : All normal transmitter functions will operate in the panic mode.
