Using Your System
Arming
You can turn on, or arm, the system by pressing Button I of your transmitter
for 1 second. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound, or
chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. If the vehicle’s power door locks
are controlled by the system, the doors will lock. While the system is armed,
the Status LED will flash about twice a second, showing that the system is
actively protecting your vehicle.If you hear a second chirp after arming and see
the Status LED flashes in groups, see the Diagnostics section.This extra chirp
is called Bypass Notification.
The system also can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called pas-
sive arming). If the system is programmed for passive arming, it will auto-
matically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off and the system "sees"
you leave the vehicle by opening and closing a door.Whenever the system is
in its 30-second passive arming countdown, the Status LED will flash twice as
fast as it does when the system is armed.
NOTE: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the
system will not passively arm (unless forced passive arming is programmed on. See the
ProgrammingOptionssection).Additionally,eachtimeasensoristriggeredduringthearmingcount-
down, the 30-second countdown starts over.
When armed, your vehicle is protected in the following ways:
• Light impacts will trigger the Warn Away®signal.When triggered, the siren
will chirp and the parking lights will flash for a few seconds.
• Heavy impacts will trigger the system.The trigger sequence is 30
seconds of constant siren and flashing parking lights.
• If a door is opened, the system will immediately start chirping the siren
and flashing the parking lights. Three seconds later, the siren output
changes to a continuous blast. This progressive response gives you time

4© 1990, 1996 Directed Electronics, Inc.
to disarm the system with your transmitter if you inadvertently open the
door while the system is armed, while still providing instant response
(even if the door is immediately closed).
• Turning on the ignition key will trigger the same progressive response as
opening a door.
• The optional Failsafe starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking.
Arming While Driving
Your system can be armed while you are driving the vehicle! Simply press
Button I on your transmitter while the vehicle is running.The system will chirp
once and then once more to indicate that the ignition is on. The system will
not respond to any input except the door triggers, and the starter kill relay (if
installed) will not be activated. Once you have reached your destination, the
system must be disarmed by pressing Button I on the transmitter once more.
The siren will chirp twice and the LED will stop flashing. If you do not disarm
the system, it will trigger when any door is opened to exit the vehicle.
Disarming
To turn off, or disarm the system, press Button I again. You will hear two
chirps, and the parking lights will flash twice. If power locks are controlled by
the system, the doors will unlock. If the siren chirps either four or five times
when disarming, see the Diagnostics section. This is called Tamper Alert.
High Security Disarm
Your system includes a High Security Disarm feature. During the trigger
sequence, using the transmitter to disarm the system will only stop the trigger
sequence (the siren will stop and the parking lights will stop flashing). Howev-
er, the system will remain armed and the doors will stay locked. This is
extremely useful if you must stop the system from sounding but are unable to
check the vehicle visually.The trigger will stop, but the vehicle will remain pro-

tected.To disarm with the transmitter during a trigger, press Button I on your
transmitter. The siren will stop sounding. Next press Button I once more and
the system will chirp four or five times (reporting the trigger), then disarm.
Disarming Without a Transmitter
This feature allows you to disarm the system if the transmitter becomes lost,
damaged or disabled.In order to disarm without a transmitter, you must have
the vehicle's ignition key and know where theValet Button is.Be sure to check
with the installer for the location of the Valet Button.
Turn on the ignition.Push the Valet switch with-
in 15 seconds.The system should now disarm.
If it does not, you may have waited too long, so
turn the ignition off and on and try again.
IMPORTANT:TheValetswitch willnot disarm the optionalVRS®feature.ThehiddenVRSarm/disarm
switch must be used (see the VRS®section.).
Silent ModeTM
To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use Silent ModeTM. Simply
press Button II briefly before arming or disarming, and the confirmation
chirp(s) will be eliminated for that one operation only. If you want the arm/dis-
arm chirps turned off permanently, your dealer can do this for you.
NOTE: The Warn Away response to lighter impacts is bypassed if the system is armed using Silent Mode.
This ensures that no chirps will be emitted by the siren in an area you want chirp free. The system is still
fully able to trigger. Only the Warn Away response is defeated.
Panic Mode
If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract attention by trig-
gering the system with your transmitter! Just press Button I for 1.5 seconds,
and you will enter Panic Mode.The siren will sound and the parking lights will
flash for 30 seconds.To stop Panic Mode at any time, press Button I again.

Valet®Mode
You can prevent your system from automatically arming and triggering by
using Valet Mode. This is very useful when washing the vehicle or having it
serviced.InValet Mode, the system will not arm, even with the transmitter, but
all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) will work normally.
You can access Valet mode either manually or from the remote transmitter.
To enter or exit Valet®Mode with the Valet switch:
Turn ignition to the "run" position, then turn to the "off" position.Press and re-
lease the Valet switch within 10 seconds.The Status LED will shine steadily
if you have entered Valet Mode, and it will go out if you exited Valet Mode.
Using Remote Valet®as you enter or exit the vehicle:
Open any door.
Press Button I, Press Button II, Press Button I again.
The Status LED will shine steadily if you entered Valet Mode, and it will go
out if you exited Valet Mode.
Nuisance Prevention CircuitryTM
Your system includes Nuisance Prevention Circuitry (NPC™). This feature
prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pin switch-
es or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise,
etc. Here's how it works:
121

© 1990, 1996 Directed Electronics, Inc.
Let's say the alarm triggers three times.Each time, the same sensor or switch
triggers the alarm. If the three triggers are within 60 minutes of each other,
NPC will interpret this pattern of triggers as false alarms. After the third trig-
ger, NPC ignores, or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along with any other
sensors or switches sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes. If the bypassed
sensor tries to trigger the system while it is being bypassed, the 60-minute
bypass period will start over.This ensures that a sensor that continuously trig-
gers will remain bypassed.Doors are covered by NPC differently: If the alarm
is triggered by an open door for three full cycles (one and a half minutes), the
doors will be bypassed until the trigger ceases.
NOTE: Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function! The only ways to reset a bypassed
zone are for it to not trigger for 60 minutes, or to turn on the ignition. If testing your system, it is impor-
tant to remember that the NPC programming can cause zones to be bypassed and seem to stop working.

Diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly monitoring all of
the switches and sensors connected to it. It detects any faulty switches and
sensors and prevents them from disabling the entire system. The micro-
processor will also record and report any triggers that occurred during your
absence.
Arming Diagnostics
If the system is armed with an input active (door open, sensor triggering, etc.)
the unit will chirp once when arming and one more time a few seconds later.
This is called Bypass Notification.
NOTE:BypassnotificationwillnotoccurwhenusingSilentMode™orifchirpshavebeenprogrammed
OFF.
The system will ignore the input that was active when it was armed until it
goes away. Three seconds later it will monitor that input normally. For exam-
ple, if your car has interior light exit delay, and you arm the system before the
interior light goes out, you may get Bypass Notification. Three seconds after
the light goes out, however, the doors are monitored normally.
Disarming Diagnostics
Extra disarm chirps identify Tamper Alert. If four chirps are heard when dis-
arming, the system was triggered in your absence. If five chirps are heard, a
zone was triggered so many times that Nuisance Prevention Circuitry™ has
bypassed that zone. In either case, the Status LED will indicate which zone
was involved (seeTable of Zones section).The system will retain this informa-
tion in its memory, and chirp four or five times each time it is disarmed, until
the next time the ignition key is turned on.
