without arming or disarming chirps.
Note: If the system had previously been triggered, the tamper

Disarm without the Remote Control
Your CARBINE system has an override mode that allows you to
disarm your system in the event that you have lost or damaged
your remote controller.
- While the alarm is sounding, turn the ignition key to On, then press
and release the valet switch button. This will disarm the system.
Note: If your system was installed and programmed to
“Automatically Arm”, the system should be placed into
“Valet Mode” to prevent it from becoming re-armed until
you can correct the issue with your remote control.

8
Passive Arming/Locking
Your CARBINE system can be programmed to Passive Arm and
Lock the doors. If both of these features are programmed on,
your CARBINE system will automatically arm and lock the doors
30 seconds after the last protected entrance is closed.
During the 30 second countdown, the RCC LED will flash fast and
the siren/horn will chirp after 20 seconds to warn that the system is
about to arm and lock. 10 seconds later, the doors will lock.
Note 1: If passive locking is not programmed ON with passive
arming, the system will auto arm 20 seconds after the last door is
closed and the doors will not lock.
Note 2: Countdown time will be extended if your vehicle
has OEM delayed dome light control. This could add up to
45 seconds additional delay.
Panic Alarm

alarm. Once activated, the panic alarm will sound the horn or
siren and flash the parking lights for 30 seconds.
2. Press and release the or button to stop the panic mode.

the channel #4 output to your vehicle. To activate the AUX/CH#4
output, press and hold the + buttons together for 2 seconds.
This action will energize the AUX/CH#4 output for as long as you hold
the buttons down. The operation of AUX Channel #4 is programmable.

10
Valet Mode (By Valet Button)
Valet mode is a convenience when you take your car in for
service or allow someone who may not be familiar with
your security system to drive your vehicle.
- All doors must be closed
- Turn the ignition key On then Off.
- Press and release the valet button (1) time.
The status LED will be on.
- Repeat the procedure to turn off the valet mode.
The status LED will be off.
Valet Mode (By Remote)
Valet mode is a convenience when you take your car in for

security system to drive your vehicle. To activate Valet Mode
using your remote control. Repeat the following procedure.
1. Open the driver side door.
2. Press then then on your remote control.
3. The LED status indicator will be on solid.
- Parking lights flash fast 9 times.
4. Repeat 1 and 2 above to exit Valet Mode.
The status LED indicator will be off.

Trigger the System
If at any time the system becomes triggered, the horn/siren will
sound for 30 seconds and then re-arm. If a protected entrance is
left open, the alarm will sound for three, 30 second cycles and then
the protected entrance is bypassed while the remaining detection
zones are active.
Progressive Door Trigger
This feature is ON by default and can be programmed off by the
installer. When your CARBINE system is armed and a door is
opened, instead of “full alarm mode” the system will chirp the
horn/siren 10 times prior to going into full alarm mode.
Tamper Warning at Disarm
If the alarm had been triggered while you were away from the
vehicle, upon disarming, a 4-chirp tamper disarm warning will
occur. In addition to the 4-chirp warning, the status LED will
flash a distinctive number of times to indicate which alarm
zone set off the alarm.

4 Onboard Shock Sensor

12
Forced Passive Arming
As additional protection, the Forced Passive Arm feature will
arm the security system 1 hour after exiting the vehicle. In some
cases, you may forget to press the button to arm your
system. Forced Passive Arming will keep the vehicle protected.
By default, this system is ON and active unless programmed
differently by the installer.
Automatic Starter Disable
The purpose of this feature is to keep your vehicle from being stolen
at all times. This system is activated independently of all other
systems. After turning the ignition key off, the Auto Starter Disable
system will begin to count down. The LED indicator on the RCC will
begin to flash. 30 Seconds later, the security system starter disable
circuit will be active. To start the vehicle, it will be necessary to
disarm the system using the remote controller.
Nuisance Prevention System
To prevent continuous alarm cycles from faulty and over-sensitive
sensors or an attempted theft that has left a protected door open,
the Nuisance Prevention System will monitor all trigger inputs.
If the alarm triggers (3) times with a 60-minute period from the
same sensor, the NPS will interpret this as a false trigger. The NPS
will ignore the affected sensor while leaving all other sensors and
triggers active.

13
Ignition Key Controlled Dome Light
- If dome light control has been installed, every time you
stop the engine (Ignition Key Off), the dome light in your
vehicle will illuminate.
- When you disarm your security system the dome light will
illuminate. When you enter the vehicle and turn On the
ignition key, the dome light will go out.
Note: Since this system mimics some factory installed
dome light systems in many vehicle brands, the
operation may not be noticed.
Anti-Hijacking System (AHS)
The Optional AHS feature is designed to aide in the return of
your vehicle due to a Carjack attempt. The AHS cannot prevent a
Carjacking attempt by an unauthorized user but it will eventually
disable the vehicle so it can safely be recovered by local authorities.
When properly installed, the AHS will prevent your vehicle from
running once the engine is stopped. Door entry, starter and ignition
triggers stay active after vehicle abduction even if the vehicle bat-
tery is disconnected and re-connected.

14
Arming the AHS
To arm the AHS, enter the vehicle and close all the doors.
Turn the ignition key to ON and then press the button on the
CARBINE remote controller for 1 second. The parking lights will
flash, and the siren will chirp once. AHS is now armed.
Start the engine and drive the vehicle as normal.
At this point, if you are forced from the vehicle, AHS will start a
countdown sequence (See AHS triggered Sequence below) once
the door is opened and closed.
To turn off the AHS, press the button before turning off the
ignition. The parking lights will flash and the Horn/siren will chirp.
Note: Once the AHS is armed, it remains armed until the user
disarms it. Arming and disarming the remote security system does
not affect the state of the AHS. The position of the ignition key
determines if the system will become triggered when the doors are
opened and closed.
- When the ignition key is OFF, the vehicle doors can be opened
and closed without triggering the system.
- When the ignition key is ON, opening and closing the vehicle
doors will trigger the system.

15
AHS Triggered Sequence
Once the AHS is triggered, the follow sequence will occur;
- 15 seconds after the door(s) is closed, the LED in the RCC
will begin to flash.
- 45 seconds later, the horn/siren will begin to chirp and the
parking lights will begin to flash.
- 15 seconds later, the horn/siren chirping will change to a full
alarm blast. The parking lights will continue to flash.
- Once in full trigger mode, the siren/horn will blast and the parking
lights will flash for 3 minutes and then stop. In this condition,
once the ignition key is turned off, the starter disable will become
active and the engine cannot be re-started.
- If any attempt is made to re-enter the vehicle and start the engine,
the blasting horn/siren and flashing light will start again.
Disarming the AHS
The user should become familiar with the triggering sequence and
disarm procedure of the AHS. It is important to recognize what
state the system is in in order to disarm it in the case of accidental
activation.

16
The First 60 Seconds
During the first 60 seconds of the triggering sequence (LED on the
RCC is flashing), the AHS can be disarmed by turning ON the ignition
key and pressing the button on the CARBINE remote controller.
If you happen to be driving the vehicle, simply press the button
on the remote controller. When the AHS is disarmed, the parking
lights will flash and the siren/horn will chirp.
After 60 Seconds has Passed
After the first 60 seconds has passed (siren/horn has started
chirping or is at full alarm), the button on the remote control
will no longer disarm the AHS system. If you are driving the vehicle
in this condition, you should pull the vehicle off the road and park
in a safe place
1. Turn ON the ignition key (if the key is already ON,
turn it OFF then back ON).
2. Press the valet button on the RCC the pre-programmed
number of times required to override your security system
(Default setting is (1) time). The system will disarm.
The parking lights will flash and the siren/horn will chirp.
