ARMING
There are two different ways to arm your
alarm. Tell your dealer which is best for you:
Active Arming
Turn your ignition OFF.
Close all the doors. Then
press the Lock button. If
the siren chirps and parking
lights flash once, the alarm is
fully armed.
If the siren chirps 3 times, the alarm is
either waiting for the ehicle's delayed
domelights to turn OFF (if your ehicle is so
equipped), or it is telling you that one of
the alarm's zones (a door, or the hood or
trunk) is either open or is not functioning
properly. (See ZONE BYPASS, page 5).
Also, check to make sure your car's
domelight switch was not left in the ON
position.
Passive arming
Turn the ignition OFF, and open a door to
exit the car. When the last door is closed
(and the domelight turns OFF, if your car
has delayed domelights), the siren chirps
and the parking lights flash once. The LED
flashes quickly during the 30-second
arming countdown, after which the siren
chirps and parking lights flash once more
to confirm the alarm is completely armed.
If you wish, you can open a door during
the arming countdown, and keep it open
for as long as needed. The LED turns OFF
while the door is opened. Close the last
door, and the siren will chirp and parking
lights flash once to show the 30-second
arming countdown has started again. The LED
will also begin to flash quickly again.
If you close the last open door, and the siren
does not chirp and parking lights do not flash,
you know that one or more openings are not
closed properly. This is SECO-LARM's
patented Quick and Quiet Testing (Q.Q.T.™),
and it pre ents you from thinking your alarm is
armed when it may not be. In this case, double-
check that all the doors, as well as the hood
and trunk, are closed properly, and that your
ehicle's domelights are OFF. If you cannot
locate the problem, but need to arm the
alarm, then press the Lock button to
immediately arm the alarm and bypass
whate er zone is open (see ZONE BYPASS,
page 5).
Door Locks — The system can be programmed
to automatically lock the doors when armed.
Ask your dealer.
NOTE — Under passi e arming, you can force
your alarm to arm immediately any time
during the 30-second arming countdown by
pressing the Lock button.
NOTE — Make sure your car's domelight
switch is not in the ON position when you arm
your alarm either acti ely or passi ely. The
alarm may not arm properly if the domelight
switch is left ON.
NOTE — There are references to opening or
closing a door throughout this manual. "Door"
also includes your hood and trunk, if they are
protected. Ask your dealer.
ARMED
When the 30-second arming countdown ends, or when the Lock
button is pressed, the siren chirps and parking lights flash once,
and the LED starts flashing to show the alarm is armed.

ENFORCER® SLI 840/840C Owner's Manual
Page 5
When you press the Lock button to arm the
alarm, and the alarm responds with three
chirps and three light flashes, there are two
possibilities:
A. Delayed domelights — If your domelights
do not immediately turn OFF when you
close your car door (in other words, your
ehicle has delayed domelights), this is
normal. The alarm should protect all the
openings once the domelights go OFF.
B. A zone was bypassed — In other words,
the alarm has armed, but a door may not
be protected (either because it is open, or
ZONE BYPASS
because its pin switch is broken). If the
bypassed door is later closed, it will be
restored.
If your alarm indicates a bypassed zone, find
the cause as soon as possible to ensure your
ehicle is completely protected. For instance, if
your dri er's door is not properly closed when
you arm your alarm, a thief may be able to
open any door without setting off the alarm.
NOTE — The chirps to confirm zone bypass
will not sound if chirp delete is engaged.
Howe er, the parking lights will still flash three
times. See CHIRP DELETE, page 7.
To trigger the alarm in an emergency, press the
Panic button for 1 seconds. The siren sounds
and the parking lights flash for about 30
seconds. Stop the siren and the parking lights
any time by pressing the Panic button again.
EMERGENCY CALL FOR HELP (PANIC)
SENSOR BYPASS
This is useful if you know, based on
experience, that your shock sensor (or other
add-on sensors) will false trigger, such as
when you park near a construction site.
Should you wish to bypass your alarm's
sensors, first press the Lock button to arm the
alarm (e en if the alarm is set for passi e
arming). The siren chirps and the parking
lights flash once (three times if a zone is
bypassed) to confirm armed. Within three
seconds, press the Auxiliary (*) button. The
siren chirps three times and the parking lights
flash three times to confirm sensors are
bypassed. The sensors are automatically
restored the next time the Lock button is
pressed.
NOTE — The chirps to confirm zone bypass
will not sound if chirp delete is engaged.
Howe er, the parking lights will still flash three
times. See CHIRP DELETE, page 7.

If the shock sensor detects light taps on the
car, it will trigger the pre-intrusion alert (the
siren chirps three times and the parking
lights flash three times) to warn potential
thie es and andals. Howe er, if the shock
sensor detects a strong shock to the car,
such as shock caused by prying the trunk
open, it will trigger the alarm for 30
seconds. (See DUAL-STAGE SHOCK
SENSOR, page 8.)
Optional SECO-LARM shock, motion,
glass-break, and microwa e sensors will
offer your alarm additional protection. Ask
your SECO-LARM dealer.
While your alarm is armed, your car is
protected in the following ways:
Potential thie es or andals should be
deterred by the flashing LED.
If anyone opens a door, the alarm will
immediately sound the siren and flash the
parking lights for up to three 30-second
cycles, after which the alarm will rearm,
bypassing any open doors.
Turning the ignition key ON will trigger the
alarm for 30 seconds.
The starter disable pre ents the car from
being started.
TOTAL PROTECTION
DISARMING
PATENTED STAY-SAFE DISARMTM
Any time your alarm is triggered (the siren is
sounding and the parking lights are flashing),
press the Lock button once to shut the siren
and flashing parking lights OFF while the
alarm stays completely armed.
NO E — If a door was open when you
pressed the Lock button, the siren chirps three
times and the parking lights flash three times
to confirm it is not protected (see ZONE
BYPASS, page 5).
o disarm the alarm, press the Unlock
button. he siren chirps twice, the
parking lights flash twice then
turn steady ON for 6 seconds
(or until you turn the ignition
ON), and the LED turns OFF.
What happens next depends on
how your alarm is set (ask your
dealer):
Alarm set for active arming with
Secure LockTM off
he alarm is now completely disarmed.
Alarm set for active arming with
Secure LockTM on
he system will automatically rearm and
relock the doors 30 seconds later unless a
door is opened during this time. his
prevents accidental disarming. During this
30-second period, the LED flashes quickly.
Alarm set for passive arming
he system will automatically rearm itself
30 seconds later. If a door is opened, the
system temporarily disarms. Closing the
open door will again cause the system to
enter the 30 second rearm period.
If set for Secure LockTM, the doors will lock
when the system rearms. Otherwise, the
doors do not automatically relock.

here are times, especially at night, when you
may not want to hear the siren chirps. here
are 2 ways to delete chirps:
A. One-time delete — Just press the
Auxiliary (*) button any time before you
need the chirps deleted. For instance,
press the Auxiliary (*) button before you
press the Lock button to arm the alarm,
and the chirps will not sound, but the
parking lights will still flash. he chirps are
restored the next time you press a
transmitter button.
B. Permanent delete — Your dealer can
program your alarm to delete the chirps on
a permanent basis.
NO E — Either method deletes the arm,
disarm, pre-intrusion, zone bypass, sensor
bypass, emergency disarm, valet, and tamper
chirps. However, they do not affect the
flashing parking lights.
CHIRP DELETE (silent a m/disa m)
TRUE TRIGGERTM
rue rigger stops repeated false triggers from
becoming a nuisance. Alarm trigger inputs
(except pre-intrusion) which trigger five times
while the alarm is armed are automatically
bypassed. he rest of the alarm, however,
continues to protect the vehicle. All such
bypassed zones automatically reset when the
alarm is disarmed, or if 30 minutes pass after
the last trigger input was tripped with no
further triggering of any zones. However, if
any zones is triggered during the 30-minute
countdown, the countdown restarts.
( his feature can be programmed on or off —
ask your dealer.)
If you lose your transmitter, you can disarm
your alarm with the ignition key and “VEPLe”
switch. While your alarm is either armed or
triggered, turn the ignition switch ON. Within
15 seconds, press and release the VEPLe
switch 3 times. he siren and the flashing
lights stop if the alarm was triggered, and then
chirp and flash three times. he alarm is now

VALET
Sometimes you may not wish your alarm to
arm when you leave your vehicle. (For
instance, if you leave your car with a valet
attendant, you may not want to teach him how
the alarm operates.) If your alarm is set for
active (manual) arming, this is easy — don’t
press the Lock button, and the alarm will not
arm. However, if your alarm is set to arm
passively, use the valet mode to prevent it from
arming.
o enter valet, first disarm the alarm and turn
the ignition ON. Within 15 seconds, press and
release the VEPLe button three times. he
alarm is now in the valet mode. he siren
chirps and the parking lights flash once to
