t.~J active arming
You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing on your
transmitter for one second.
When the system arms, you will hear
ashort siren sound,
or chirp, and the parking lights will flash
once.
If the vehicle's power door locks have been connected to the
system, the doors will lock.
While the system
is armed, the status LED will flash approximately
once per second, indicating that the system
is actively protecting
your vehicle.
If you hear asecond 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.
© 2005 directed electronics, inc. all rights reserved 7

~ passive arming
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 and the system "sees" you leave the vehicle by opening
and closing adoor. 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. The siren will chirp one
time 20 seconds after the last
door has been closed. The system
is not actually armed at that point. The system arms and the
doors lock (ifconnected
and programmed for passive locking) at
the
30 second mark, but the siren will not chirp. The early chirp
provides you with a10-second warning prior to arming.
note: If any protected entry point (such as adoor or a
switch-protected
trunk or hood) is open, the system will
not passively arm (unless forced passive arming is pro-
grammed on).
See Programming Options section of this
guide. Additionally, each time aprotected entry
is trig-
gered during the arming countdown, the 30-second
countdown starts over.
When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:
•Light impacts will trigger the Warn Away® signal. When
triggered, the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash
for afew seconds.
",. Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered
sequence
is between 1-180 seconds of constant siren and
flashing parking lights.
8©2005 directed electronics, inc. all rights reserved

>- 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 acontinuous blast.
This progressive response
gives you time to disarm the sys-
tem with your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door
while the system
is armed, while still providing an instant
response (even
if the door is immediately closed).
>- Turning on the ignition key will trip the same two-stage
response
as opening adoor.

r:.! high security disarm
.------1
This security system offers High Security Disarm. High Security
Disarm
is afeature that makes it possible to silence and reset the
system while it
is triggering, without disarming the system. If the
system
is triggered and the siren has been sounding for longer
than
six seconds, pressing [i/;-~:~::--~J on the remote transmitter will
stop the trigger
and return the unit to the armed state. The
system will not disarm, but rather reset. This prevents you from
disabling the system should you wish to disarm it without visu-
ally checking the vehicle. Pressing
ii~ __ ~~~~J, after resetting the
system, will disarm the system; pressing this
button during the
first
six seconds of the triggered sequence will disarm the security
system immediately.
The six second timer is provided for your
convenience, in case the system
is accidentally triggered.

important! The unit can be programmed to respond to
one to five pulses of the Valet button for the disarm func-
tion.
Be sure to check with the installer for the desired
programmmg.
I:+J 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 aremote transmitter, you
must have
the vehicle's ignition key and know where the Valet button is
located. Be sure to check with the installer for the location and the
number of presses of theValet button required to disarm the system.
To
disarm the security system,
turn the ignition to the ON posi-
tion. Press
the Valet button the
preset number of times (one to
five times) within 15 seconds.
After 5seconds, 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.

To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use Silent
Mode TM. Simply press §_~J for less than one second before
arming or disarming,
and the confirmation chirp(s) will be elim-
inated 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 capable
of triggering, only the Warn Away® response is bypassed.
[~] panic mode
If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract
attention by triggering the system with your transmitter. Just
press
[~l for two seconds, and you will enter Panic Mode. The
siren will sound and the parking lights will flash for the
programmed siren duration. To stop Panic Mode at any time,
press

~ nuisance prevention® circuitry
Your system has Directed's Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry
(NPC). It prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to
faulty door
pin switches or environmental conditions such as
thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc.
Example
If the alarm triggers three times within a60-minute period and
each time the same sensor
or switch triggers the alarm, NPC will
interpret those 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) for 60 minutes.
If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the system while it is being
14 ©2005 directed electronics, inc. all
rights reserved

bypassed, the GO-minute bypass period will start over. This
ensures that asensor that continually triggers will remain
bypassed.
Doors are covered by
NPC differently; if the alarm is triggered
by an open
door for three full cycles, 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 abypassed zone are for it
to not trigger for 60 minutes, or to turn on the ignition. If
testing your system, it is important to remember that the
NPC prcgramming can cause zones to be bypassed and
appear to stop working. If five chirps are heard when dis-
arming, NPC has been engaged. If you wish to clear the
NPC memory, turn the ignition key on.
NPC is programmable. See Programming Options section of this
guide.

fiiagnDstic£---------------_._-----------
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 disabling the entire system. The micropro-
cessor will also record
and report any triggers that occurred
during your absence. Refer to the System Status Chirps and
Table of Zones charts for diagnostic information.
l_~.l arming diagnostics
If the system is armed while an input is active (door open, sensor
triggering, etc.) the
unit will chirp once when arming and then
one more tIme afew seconds later. This is called Bypass
Notification.
note: Bypass Notification will not occur when using
SileGt
Mode™ or if chirps have been programmed OFF.
The security system will ignore the input that was active when
the system was armed, until the input goes away. Three seconds
later the system 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.
16 ©2005 directed electronics. inc. all rights reserved

~J 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, azone was triggered so many times that Nuisance
Prevention® Circuitry has bypassed that zone. In either
case, the
status LED will indicate which
wne was involved. (See Table of
Zonessection of this guide.) The system will retain this information
in its memory, and continue to chirp four
or five times each time it
is disarmed, until the next time the ignition key is turned on.
