using your system
The buttons used in the instructions in this manual correspond to the
standard transmitter configuration. If your transmitter has been custom
configured, the icons on your transmitter buttons may not correspond
to the indicated functions.
arming
You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing on your trans-
mitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear two short
siren sounds, or chirps, and see the parking lights flash twice. The LED
will begin to flash steadily. If the vehicle’s power door locks have been
connected to the system, the doors will lock.
While the system is armed, the LED status indicator will flash approxi-
mately once per second showing that the system is actively protecting
your vehicle. If you hear more than two chirps when arming, refer to
the Diagnostics section of this guide. These extra chirps confirm a mal-
function autobypass.
The security 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 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 siren will chirp twice and the lights will flash twice five
seconds after the last door has been closed. The system is not actually
armed at that point. The system arms and the doors lock (if connected

8
and programmed for passive locking) at 30 seconds, but the siren will
not chirp. The early chirps provide you with a 25-second warning prior
to arming.
When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:
zThe LED will flash as a visible theft deterrent.
zLight impacts will trigger the Warning Zone signal. When
triggered, the siren will sound for a few seconds.
zHeavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered
sequence is 30, 60, or 90 seconds of constant siren sounding
and flashing parking lights.
zIf a protected entry (door, hood, or trunk) is opened, the sys-
tem will immediately trigger the siren and flash the parking
lights. If any vehicle glass is broken the system will immedi-
ately trigger the siren and flash the lights.
disarming
To disarm the system, press . You will hear a chirp and the park-
ing lights will flash once. If the power locks are connected to the sys-
tem, the doors will unlock. If the siren chirps three times when disarm-
ing, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This is called Tamper
Alert. If the siren is active when the system is disarmed you will hear two
chirps but the system is not disarmed. (Refer to the Remote Siren
Silencing section of this guide.) However, if the alarm completes the full
trigger cycle when disarmed you will hear three chirps.
nnoottee::If any protected entry point (a door or a switch-protected trunk or
hood) is open, the system will not passively arm. Additionally, each
time a protected entry is triggered during the arming countdown, the
30-second countdown starts over.

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, know where the
PlainView 2 Valet switch is located, and have the PIN code. Be sure to
check with the installer for the location of the PlainView 2 Valet switch.
Please refer to the Disarm/Valet Mode section of this guide for instruc-
tions to enter the pin code.
remote siren silencing
This system offers remote siren silencing. Remote siren silencing is a fea-
ture that makes it possible to silence and reset the system when it is
triggering without disarming the system. If the system is triggered and
the siren has been sounding, press on the transmitter to stop the
trigger and return the unit to the armed state. The system will not dis-
arm, but rather reset. This prevents you from disabling the system
should you wish to silence it without visually checking the vehicle. After
resetting the system, press again to disarm the system.
transmitter chirp muting
To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use transmitter chirp
muting. Simply press on the transmitter, and the confirmation
chirp(s) will be eliminated for that one operation only. The parking
lights will flash to confirm the arm/disarm command. If you want the
arm/disarm chirps turned off permanently, please refer to the User-
Selectable Features section of this guide.

10
transmitter sensor disable
To temporarily disable a sensor input, arm the system, press
twice and then . The lights will flash four times and
all warn away trigger zones one, two, three, and eight are bypassed.
Press the buttons again; the lights flash four times and both warn away
and full trigger zones one, two, three, and eight are bypassed until the
system is disarmed. This can be performed anytime the system is
armed.
1. Arm the system.
2. Press twice and then .
3. The lights will flash four times; all warn away zones are now
bypassed.
4. Transmit the sensor bypass channel again.
5. The lights will flash four more times; the sensor warn away
and full trigger zones are now bypassed.
6. The sensor zones will reset when disarmed.
intellistart and smartwindows sensor bypass
When the system sees a command to start the vehicle via the
Intellistart, it bypasses sensor zones and will continue to bypass these
zones until the remote start shuts down.
When the system sees a SmartWindows command for up or down
operation, the unit will automatically bypass sensor zones one, two,
three, and eight until the windows complete their operation.

11

auxiliary channel bypass
Alarm sensor input zones one, two, three, and eight will be bypassed
while a pulsed or timed auxiliary Output is active.
panic mode with smart door locking
If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract attention
by triggering the system with your transmitter! Just press for
two seconds to enter Panic Mode. The siren will sound and the park-
ing lights will flash for the programmed duration. If the ignition is on,
the doors will lock; if the ignition is off, the doors will unlock. To stop
Panic Mode at any time press on the transmitter again.
disarm/valet mode
Entering your pin code using the PlainView 2 Valet switch allows you
to disarm the system or enter valet mode without using the transmit-
ter. In valet mode, the security system will not arm, even with the trans-
mitter, but all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.)
will continue to work normally.
To disarm or enter Valet Mode:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Enter PIN code (factory setting is 2).
3. After the last digit of the pin code is entered:
a. To disarm the system: press and release .

12
b. To enter valet mode: Press and hold for
three seconds.
The LED status indicator will light steadily if you are entering Valet
Mode and will turn off if you are exiting Valet Mode.
To exit Valet Mode:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Enter PIN code.
3. After the last digit press for one second.
The LED will turn off.
transmitter valet mode
The operations described in this section refer to transmitter buttons.
Remember, the buttons used in all the instructions in this guide corre-
spond to a Standard Configuration transmitter. This may not be how
your transmitter is set up.
To enter Valet Mode, press twice and then . The
LED status indicator will light solid if you are entering Valet Mode, or
will turn off if you are exiting Valet Mode.
one-time auto-arming bypass
This will bypass the auto arm feature once only.
1. With the key, turn the ignition on, then off within two seconds.
2. The siren will chirp once to confirm auto arming bypass.

13
© 2003 directed electronics, inc.
3. The system will not auto arm.
During auto arming bypass the system will not roll up the windows if
SmartWindows is connected, and the accessory output will not auto-
activate when using the remote to arm the system.
low battery warning
When the transmitter battery is low, the system will generate a low-
pitched tone when disarmed.
multiple event total recall
This will report the last eight system triggers.
1. Press and hold of the PlainView 2 Valet switch.
2. While still holding , arm and disarm the system, then
release the button.
3. The LED will start to blink to indicate the most recent trigger
and proceed down to the eighth trigger. If fewer than eight
triggers are stored in memory, the LED will blink continuous-
ly until the system is armed/disarmed using the transmitter
or the ignition is turned on. For more information, please
refer to the Table of Zones section of this guide.
nnoottee::The system will revert to normal auto arming when the system
sees the ignition on for at least three seconds.

14
false alarm control technology (FACT II)
Your system offers FACT II, a feature that prevents annoying
repetitive trigger sequences due to a faulty sensor or environmental
conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc.
Here’s how it works: The alarm triggers three times. If the same sensor
is triggering the alarm and the first and the third triggers are within 60
minutes of each other, FACT II will interpret this pattern of triggers as
false alarms. After the third trigger, FACT II ignores, or bypasses, that
sensor (along with any other sensors 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 continually triggers will remain bypassed.
Doors are covered by FACT II differently; if the alarm is triggered by an
open door for three full cycles, the doors will be bypassed until the trig-
ger ceases. FACT II is programmable. See the Programming Options
section of this guide.
nnoottee::Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function! The
only way to reset a bypassed zone is for 60 minutes or to turn on the
ignition. If testing your system, it is important to remember that the FACT
II programming can cause zones to be bypassed and appear to stop
working. If you wish to clear the FACT II memory, turn the ignition key on.

select siren sounds
To customize siren sounds, please refer to the selectable siren sounds
feature in the User Selectable Features grid. Once in programming
mode, press on the transmitter to begin playback of the avail-
able sounds.
Press on the PlainView 2 Valet switch while playing the desired
sound to add that sound; press while playing the desired sound to
delete that sound.
diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your security system is constantly
monitoring all of the switches and sensors that are connected to it. It
detects any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from dis-
abling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report
any triggers that occurred during your absence.
arming diagnostics
If the system is armed while an input is active (door open, sensor trig-
gering, etc.) the unit will chirp twice when arming and then four more
times five seconds later. This is called Bypass Notification.
The security system will ignore the input that was active when the sys-
tem was armed, until the input goes away. Three seconds later the sys-

16
tem will monitor that input normally. For example, if your vehicle has
interior light exit delay, and you arm the system before the interior light
goes out, you may hear Bypass Notification chirps. Once the light shuts
off, however, the doors are monitored normally.
disarming diagnostics
Extra disarm chirps are the Tamper Alert. If three chirps are heard when
disarming, the system was triggered in your absence. If three chirps are
heard, the LED status indicator will indicate which zone was involved
when you turn the ignition on (see the Table of Zones section). The sys-
tem will retain this information in its memory. Refer to the Multiple
Event Total Recall section of this guide.

table of zones
The zone number is the number of LED flashes used by the system to
identify a specific input. The standard input assignments are listed
below, along with spaces to write in any optional sensors or switches
you have had installed. If the Warning Zone response is triggered, the
LED will not report it.
anti-code grabbing (ACG)
This unit features Anti-Code Grabbing (ACG) with Random Code
Encryption. This means the receiver and transmitters each use a math-
ematical formula called an algorithm to change their code each time
the transmitter is used. This technology has been developed to increase
the security of the unit. The control unit knows what the next codes
should be.
