Phoenix 2
Congratulations! You have just purchased the Phoenix2 vehicle security system
manufactured by Avital Technologies, Inc.
To fully benefit from the capabilities of your system, we encourage you to
read the Owner’s Manual thoroughly before using the system. If you have any
problems or questions regarding your system, consult the dealer from whom
you purchased this product. To locate an authorized Avital dealer, contact
Avital Technologies directly at 1-800-253-0334 (toll-free within the U.S.) or
1-847-215-2233.
Lifetime Warranty
Avital guarantees the operation of your control unit and remote controls for as
long as you own your car. (Please refer to your Lifetime Limited Warranty
Card for complete information.) Make sure that you receive your warranty
card from your dealer, complete the required information and mail the
registration portion to Avital Technologies. You should retain the top portion
of the warranty card for your records.
Remote Controls
Included with your system are two AviGlo™ 4-button/9-channel remote
controls. Once exposed to light, the AviGlo remote control buttons will glow,
making the buttons visible in the dark.
The remote control (remote) is a miniature transmitter powered by a small
+12 volt battery. Obstructions, electrical or radio interference, weather
conditions, window tint or a weak battery can reduce range. Your remote is
the key to your system and can be used to arm and disarm your alarm, lock
and unlock your doors, "pop" your trunk, and control optional accessories
such as a remote engine starter, window roll-up and garage door opener.
The system can accept up to four Avital remote controls. Additional remote
controls and remote control batteries can be purchased from any authorized
Avital dealer, or by calling Avital Technolgies toll-free at 1-800-253-0334
(within the U.S.) or 1-847-215-2233.

Operating Instructions
To Arm The System
The alarm can be programmed for active or passive arming. Active arming

twice, the parking lights will flash twice, the doors will lock, the LED will flash
slowly and the starter will be disabled.

interior lights turn off, the LED will begin flashing rapidly to indicate the alarm
is passive arming. After 30 seconds, the siren will chirp twice, the parking
lights will flash twice, the LED will flash slowly and the starter will be disabled
(at any time during passive arming, the alarm can be actively armed).
To Disarm the System
Press the remote ARM/DISARM button for 1-2 seconds. The siren will chirp
once, the parking lights will flash once, the doors will unlock, the interior
lights will turn on, the LED will turn off and the starter will be enabled.
Remote-Controlled Silent Arm/Disarm
Press the remote SILENT button for 1-2 seconds to arm or disarm your system
without the usual siren chirps.
