Important Information
Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art security
system. This system has been designed to provide years of trouble-
free operation. This guide should help you to get the most out of
your system, so please take the time to review it thoroughly prior
to using the system.
The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote is
powered by a lithium battery that lasts approximately three years
under normal use. The remotes are disposable, so after the battery
System Maintenance

runs out, you can simply throw the transmitter away and replace
it with a new one.
Your warranty card must be returned. If the warranty card is not
returned, you do not have a warranty. It is also necessary to keep
your receipt, which reflects that the product was installed by an
authorized dealer. Make sure that you receive the warranty card
from your dealer.
IMPORTANT! This unit and its components are water resistant, not
waterproof; so the warranty is void if the product has been damaged as
a result of prolonged water exposure or submersion.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject
to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference re-
ceived, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate this device.

Transmitter Functions
The receiver uses a computer-based Learn Routine to learn the
transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign different
transmitter buttons to different receiver functions. The transmitter
initially comes programmed with Standard Configuration, but may
also be customized by an authorized dealer. The buttons indicated
in the instructions in this manual correspond to a Standard
Configuration transmitter.
Button
The arming and panic functions are controlled by . To arm the
system press this button for one second. To activate the panic
function, press and hold this button for 1.5 seconds.
Button
The disarm function and an optional auxiliary convenience or
expansion function are controlled by . To disarm the system
press this button for one second. To activate the auxiliary function,
press and hold this button for 1.5 seconds.

Using Your System
The transmitter buttons indicated in this guide correspond to the
standard transmitter configuration. Remember, this is not the only
way your transmitter may be set up.
You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing on your
transmitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear a
short siren sound, or chirp, and see the lights flash once.
While the system is armed, the status LED will flash approximately
once per second, showing that the system is actively protecting
your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming and see the
status LED flashing in groups, refer to the Diagnostics section of
this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.
The system also can be programmed to arm itself automatically
(called passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive
arming, it will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is
turned off. 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. At the 30-second point, the siren
will chirp to indicate that the system is armed.
NOTE: Some faulty zones may prevent the system from passively arming.
(See Arming Diagnostics and Table of Zones sections of this guide.)
Additionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the passive arming
countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
Arming

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 full trigger
sequence is 30 or 60 seconds of constant siren and flashing
parking lights.
■If the tilt switch is triggered or the ignition is turned on while
the system is armed, the full trigger sequence will activate.
■The starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking.
Multi-Level Security is a feature that is only available when using
a Standard Configuration transmitter (see Transmitter Functions
section of this guide). Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to
select which of the security system's inputs or sensors will be
active and which will be bypassed at the time that the system is
armed (see Table of Zones section of this guide). Pressing
again within five seconds of arming the security system will acti-
vate the Multi-Level Security Arming feature. Each time is
pressed again, a different security level is selected. The different
security levels can be selected as follows:
■Pressing one time: The siren chirps once. The system is
armed.
■Pressing a second time within five seconds: The siren
chirps twice followed by a long chirp. Zone Two is now bypassed.
