[ System maintenance ]
The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote transmitter is pow-
ered by a small, lightweight 3 volts lithium battery that will last approximately
one year under normal use. When the battery weakens, operating range will
be reduced and the LED on the transmitter will dim.
NOTE: When you store your vehicle, before removing your battery, you will
have to deactivate the siren with the key included with the remote.
POWER SAVER MODE : Your system will automatically enter Power Saver Mode while armed or in Valet,
after a period of time in which no operation has been performed. This feature will lowers the current draw to
the recreationnal vehicle’s battery.
POWER CONSUMPTION : Even if your security system is one of the most innovative on the market, it’s
power consumption may become excessive in some particular situation. We recommend that you use your
recreationnal vehicle and that yoiu should drive it for an extensive period of time once in a while. If the
recreationnal vehicle is used periodically, we recommend that you buy a low current battery charger to
preserve the vehicle’s battery life span.

[ Transmitter Functions ]
Arming the system
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 the brake light will flash once (If installed).
Disarming the system
To disarm the system press . You will hear two chirps, and the brake light
will flash twice (If installed). If the siren chirps either four or five times when
disarming, that means that the security system has been trigger while you
were away.
High Security Disarm
This security system offers High Security Disarm. High Security Disarm is a
feature that makes it possible to silence and reset the system while it is trig-
gering , without disarming the system. If the system is triggered and the
siren has been sounding for longer than six seconds, pressing on the
transmitter will stop the trigger and return the unit to the arm state. The
system will not disarm but rather reset. This prevents you from disabling the
system should you wish to disarm it without visually checking the vehicle.
Pressing , after resetting the system, will disarm the system; pressing
this button during the first 5 seconds of the triggered sequence will disarm
the security system immediately.
NOTE: On some motorcycle, it is also possible to get a brake light flash when arming and disarming, along
when in full trigger. However in some cases, connecting the security system to the brake light may damage
the brake light circuit.

Disarming without a transmitter
This feature allows you to disarm the security system without the remote
transmitter should it be lost, damaged or disabled. In order to disarm the
system without the transmitter, you must have the vehicle’s ignition key and
know where the Valet button is located.
To disarm the security system, turn the ignition to the “ON” position. Press
the Valet button the preset number of times (one to five times) within 15
seconds. After 5 seconds, the system will now disarm. If the system does not
disarm, you may have waited too long; turn the ignition “OFF” and “ON” and
try again
Location of the Valet button : ______________________________
Number of pulses : _______________________
Valet Mode
You can prevent your security system from automatically arming and trig-
gered by using the Valet Mode. This is very useful when washing the
recreationnal vehicle or having it serviced. In Valet mode, the security system
will not arm, even with the remote transmitter.
To enter or exit Valet mode :
1. Turn the ignition “ON”
2. Turn the ignition “OFF”
3. Press and release the Valet button within 10 seconds.
You are now in Valet mode , to exit Valet mode repeat step 1 thru 3 again.
Auxiliary function
Press on buttons and together for 2.5 seconds, this will activate
optionnal 508 D Microwave perimeter sensor.

Panic Mode
If you are threatened near your recreationnal vehicle, you can attract atten-
tion by triggering the system with the remote transmitter. Just press for
2.5 seconds, and you will enter Panic Mode. The siren will sound and the
brake light will flash (If installed) for the programmed siren duration. to stop
Panic Mode at any time, press on the remote transmitter again.
Silent Mode
To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use the Slent Mode. Simply
press for less than one second before arming or disarming, and confirma-
tion chirp(s) will be eliminated for the one operation only. If you want the
arm/disarm chirps turned off permanently, your dealer can do this for you.
NOTE: The warn Away response to lighter impact is bypassed if the system is armed using Slient Mode. This
ensures that no chirps will beemitted by the siren in an area you want chirp-free. The system is still capable
of triggering, only the Warn Away response is bypassed.
Standard transmitter configuration
The security system is suplplied with 2- 4 button remote transmitter, when
using the auto configuration of the Transmitter Learn Routine, here’s the stand-
ard configuration you will get of the 820041 remote transmitter, will be :
Arms the security system
Disarm the security system
Silent Mode activation
Panic Mode activation, press for 1.5 seconds
AND Channel 3 for auxiliary function 508 D activa

sensors will be active and which will be bypassed at the time that the system is armed.
Pressing again within five seconds of arming the security system will activate the
Multi-Level security arming feature.
Press one time: The siren will chirp once.

[ Protection Features ]
Mercury tilt switch :This detector is for motorcycles only. It is used to
trigger the alarm if the motorcycle is raised off the side stand.
Electronic tilt motion sensor: This sensor is used with ATV ‘s and
snowmobiles sytems, but is sold as an option with motorcycles systems.
When arming the system, the detector reads the position of the vehicle and
won’t allow a motion of more than three degrees. Even if it is pushed for-
wards or backwards, it will trigger the alarm.
Note: When arming the system, the detector requires 30 seconds to auto-calibrate. To testing should be
performed during that period of time.
Doubleguard pre adjust shock sensor: This detector is integrated to the
control module, and is used for motorcycles systems. The ATV’s and
snowmobiles systems uses electronics digital Tilt/Motion sensor instead of the
Double Guard shock sensor. Doubleguard means two stages of protection, a
light impact will cause five warning chirps and a stronger impact will trigger
the alarm.
Starter Kill: When arming the security system, it becomes impossible to
start the recreationnal vehicle. At the same time, the ignition is protected.
The system will detect any power in the ignition circuit and it will trigger the
alarm.
Back-up battery siren: This siren has a built-in rechargeable battery. Dis-
connecting the power or ground will trigger the siren until the internal battery
is discharged or the power is re-connected.
A push-button Valet®switch: This button should be hidden and it’s known
only by the owner . It has two functions. The first one allows you to disarm
the system without the transmitter should it be lost or damaged.The second
one is to change the system features or get into transmitter Learn Routine
mode.
