ered by a small, lightweight 3 volts lithium battery that will last approximately
three year under normal use.
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.

will flash twice (If installed). If the siren chirps either four or five times when

gering , without disarming the system. If the system is triggered and the
siren has been sounding for longer than six seconds, pressing on the

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

gered by using the Valet Mode. This is very useful when washing the

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.

press for less than one second before arming or disarming, and
confirmation 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.

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.

[ Protection Features ]
Electronic tilt motion sensor: 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 forwards 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.
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
