Congratulations on your purchase of a state-of-the-art vehicle security
system. This system has been designed to provide years of trouble-
free operation.Due to the complexity of this system, it must be installed
by an authorized dealer only. Installation of this product by any other
person other than an authorized dealer voids the warranty. All dealers
are provided with a preprinted dealer certificate to verify that they are
authorized.
The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote control is
powered by a miniature 12V battery, type GP23A, that will last about a
year under normal use. When the battery weakens, operating range
will be reduced and the LED on the remote will light dim.
Your Warranty card must be returned and the bar-code serial number
must not be removed. If the warranty card is not returned you don’t
have a warranty. It is also necessary to keep your proof of purchase
which reflects that the product was installed by an authorized dealer.
Make sure you receive the warranty card from your dealer.
This owner’s guide should help you to get the most out of your system.
Please take the time to read it thoroughly, prior to using the system.

Transmitter Buttons
Button I
The arm/disarm and Panic Functions, are usually controlled by Button I.
Button II
The Silent Mode/trunk release function, is usually controlled by Button
II. (Silent Mode and Remote Valet work by pressing Button II for less
than one second. Trunk release requires you to press Button II for 1.5
seconds.)
Button III (for options)
Usually controlled by pressing Buttons I and II at the same time.These
assignments can be changed if needed, such as for two-car operation
from one remote.

Using Your System
Arming
You can turn on, or arm, the system by pressing Button I of your trans-
mitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear a short
siren sound, or chirp, and see the parking lights flash once.If the vehi-
cle’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 sec-
ond, 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 Diagnostics section. This extra chirp is called Bypass
Notification. The system also can be programmed to arm itself auto-
matically (called passive arming). If the system is programmed for
passive arming, it will automatically 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 Programming Options section).
Additionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming countdown, 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 sec-
onds.
• 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 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 trip the same two-stage response as
opening a door.
• The optional starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking.
Armed While Driving
Your system can be armed while 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 con-
trolled by the system, the doors will unlock. If the siren chirps either
four or five times when disarming, see Diagnostics section. This is
called Tamper Alert.
Your system includes a High Security Disarm feature. During the trig-
gered sequence, using the transmitter to disarm it will only stop the
triggered sequence (the siren will stop and the parking lights will stop
flashing), however, 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 protected.

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) and
disarm.
Disarming Without a Transmitter
This feature allows you to disarm the system without the transmitter
should it be lost, damaged or disabled. In order to disarm without a
transmitter, you must have the vehicle's ignition key and know where
the valet button is. Be sure to check with the installer for the location of
the Valet button.
Turn on the ignition. Push the Valet®switch within
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.
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 con-
firmation chirp(s) will be eliminated for that 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 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 triggering 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 on the transmitter 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. In Valet Mode, the system will not arm, even with
the transmitter, but all convenience functions (door locks, trunk
release, etc.) will work normally.
To enter or exit Valet Mode with the Valet switch:
Turn ignition to "run" position, then turn to "off"
position. Press and release the Valet switch with-
in 10 seconds. The Status LED will light steady 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 (or the arm/disarm button). Press
Button II (or the function 2 Button). Press Button I again. The Status
LED will light steady if you have entered Valet Mode, and it will go out
if you exited Valet Mode.
Nuisance Prevention Circuitry®
Your system has DEI's Nuisance Prevention Circuitry (NPC™). It pre-
vents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pin
switches or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers,
airport noise, etc.
Here's how it works:
Let's say the alarm triggers three times. Each time, the same sensor
or switch is triggering the alarm.The three triggers are within 60 min-
utes of each other. NPC will interpret this pattern of triggers as false
alarms. After the third trigger, NPC ignores, or bypasses, that sensor
or switch (along with any other sensors or switches sharing the same
zone).
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 triggers will remain bypassed.

Diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly monitor-
ing all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It detects any faulty
switches and sensors and prevents them from disabling the entire sys-
tem. The microprocessor 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 trigger-
ing, etc.) the unit will chirp once when arming and then one more time
a few seconds later.This is called Bypass Notification.
Note: Bypass notification will not occur when using Silent Mode or if chirps have been programmed 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 normal-
ly. For example, if your car has interior light exit delay, and you arm the
system before the interior light goes out, you may get Bypass
Notification.Once the light goes out, however, the doors are monitored
normally.

Doors are covered by NPC differently: If the alarm is triggered by an
open door for three full cycles (one-and-one-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 remain untriggered for 60 minutes, or to turn on the ignition. If testing your system, it is impor-
tantto remember that the NPCprogramming can cause zones tobe bypassed and seem tostop working. If five
chirps are heard when disarming, NPC has been engaged. If you wish to clear the NPC memory, turn the igni-
tion on.

Disarming Diagnostics
Extra disarm chirps are the Tamper Alert.If four chirps are heard when
disarming, 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 (see Table of Zones section). The
system will retain this information in its memory, and chirp four or five
times each time it is disarmed, until the next time the ignition key is
turned on.
Table of Zones
The zone number is the number of LED flashes used by the system to
identify that input. The standard input assignments are listed below,
along with spaces to write in any optional sensors or switches you have
had installed.
