Using The Valet Switch
EMERGENCY OVERRIDE
 Ifyouweretoloseorbreakyourcontroller,you’dneedtoperformanemergency
overridetodisarmthesystemanduseyourvehicle.Todoso,usethefollowingsteps:
STEP 1 - Enter the vehicle (the alarm should sound)
STEP 2 - Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position
STEP 3 - Press the valet switch (located in the window-mount antenna) once
NOTE: Enter your SecureCode at this time if programmed via user feature #1
STEP 4 - Turn the ignition “OFF”.
VALET MODE
ALARM VALET MODE,whileactive,completelydisablesallsecurityfunctions.
Keylessentryisstilloperable.Toentervaletmode,performthefollowingsteps:
STEP 1 - Disarmthesystemeitherwiththecontrollerorbyperforminganemergency
override (make sure not to hold the brake pedal).
STEP 2 - Press and hold the valet switch (located in the window-mount antenna)
for2seconds.ThesystemwillchirponceandtheREDstatuslightwillturnon.The
controllerwillreectthatthesystemisinalarmvaletmode.
SECURECODE
 SecureCodeallowsyoutocustomizethenumberofvaletpressesrequiredtoper-
formanemergencyoverride.Thisisanextralayerofsecuritythatpreventsanyone
fromoverridingthealarmeveniftheyhaveakeytothevehicle.SecureCodehas2
stageswiththerstrequiring1-9buttonvaletpressesandthesecondrequiring0-9
valet button presses. This gives you 99 possible combinations. To program a custom
SecureCode,pleaserefertouserfeature#1.
ToperformanemergencyoverridewithSecureCode,usethefollowingsteps:
STEP 1 - With the system armed, enter the vehicle (the alarm will activate).
STEP 2 - Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
STEP 3 - Within5secondsofstep2,pressthevaletswitchtoentertherstdigitof
your programmed code.
STEP 4 - Afterafewseconds,thesirenwillstopsoundingandchirponce(conrming
stage 1). The siren will then continue sounding.
STEP 5 - Now,within5secondsofstep4,pressthevaletswitchtoenterthesecond
digitofyourcode.Ifthecodeiscorrect,thealarmwilldisarm.
 Ifthecodeisenteredincorrectly,youmustturntheignitionkeyOFF,thenbackON
to try again. Additionally,if2failedattemptsaremade,thealarmwillignoreany
  furtherattemptsfor2minutes.

LAST DOOR ARMING
 Thissystemcanbeconguredtoarmautomaticallywhenallthevehicle’sdoors
areclosed(seeuserfeature#2).Whenthisfeatureisutilized,thesiren/hornwillchirp
oncewhenallofthedoorsareclosed.Atthatpoint,itwillstarta30secondcount-
down(indicatedbyafastashingstatuslight).After30seconds,thesystemwillarm
(andlockthedoorsifconguredtodoso).Duringthe30secondarmingdelay,ifa
pointofentryisopened,thecountdownwillpauseuntilallentrypointsareclosed
again.TurningONtheignitionkeywillcancelthelastdoorarmingsequenceuntilthe
keyisturnedoffandthedoorsareallclosedonceagain.
AUTOMATIC REARMING
 Thisautomaticallyrearmsthealarmifthesystemisdisarmedfromtheremote.
(seeuserfeature#3toenable).Whendisarmedbyremote,thesystemwillstarta90
secondcountdown(fastashingstatuslight)toarmthesystem.Thisisusefulifthe
controller may accidentally disarms the system when it’s kept in a purse or pocket
where other items could potentially press the buttons. ENHANCED AUTO REARM
allows you to cancel the countdown by pressing UNLOCK a second time within 5
secondsoftherstpresstodisarmthealarm.
WHEN THE SYSTEM TRIGGERS
 Ifthesystemweretobecompromisedwhilearmed,itwilltriggersoundingthe
siren/hornandashingtheparkinglightsfor30seconds(programmable).Atthispoint
youwillalsobenotiedonthecontrollerastowhichzoneisviolated(ifinrangeofthe
system).Whendisarmingthesystemafteratriggerevent,thesiren/hornwillchirp4
timesandtheparkinglightswillash4timesinsteadofthestandard2times.
LOCK ON TRIGGER:Ifadoorisopenedwhenthesystemistriggered,itwillwait
untilthedoorisclosedagain,thenlockthedoors.Thispatentedfeatureisusefulto
furtherdenyathiefoffurtheraccesstothevehicle.
STORM SAFE MODE: When the system is triggered, pressing the “UNLOCK” button
willstopthealarmfromsoundingbutwillleavethedoorslocked.Thisfunctionisuse-
fulifyouhaveafalsetriggeringsituationduetoviolentweather.
ZONE VIOLATION RECALL:Thesystemiscapableoftellingyouwhichzoneswere
triggeredlast.Thesystem’sstatuslightwillashtoindicatewhichzonewastriggered.
ThisoccursduringthealarmcycleANDafterdisarming.Thesystemwillstorethelast
triggeredzoneuntilthevehicle’signitionkeyisturnedon.See“TheStatusLight”sec-
tionofthismanualforfurtherexplanationofthisfeature.
NUISANCE PREVENTION:Ifthesystemprewarns5timeswithin15minutes,itwill
bypassthezonefortheremainderofthe15minutesbeforerearmingthepre-warn
zone.Additionally,ifafulltriggerzoneisleftopen,thesystemwilltriggeratotalof3
timesbeforebypassingthezone.Oncethezoneisclosedagain,itwillre-armthat
zone.
PRE-WARN DETECTION
 Thissystem’simpactsensorisdesigned,inadditiontodetectingafullimpact,will
warn away potential violators when it detects a light impact to the vehicle. The system
will respond by chirping the siren/horn 3 times and locking the doors. This is very use-
fulwhenanintruderattemptstounlockthedoorwith“slimjim”typesofdevices.
Security System Features

The Status Light
The status lights, located in the window-mount antenna, provide a visual indication
ofthesystem’sstatusviaRED(alarmstatus)lights.
SECURITY SYSTEM STATUS (RED LIGHT):
OFF:Thealarmisdisarmedandnotperforminganyautomaticfunctions.
ON CONSTANT: The alarm is in valet mode.
FLASHING SLOW: The alarm is armed and monitoring all entry points.
FLASHING FAST: Oneoftheautomaticarmingfeaturesisinprogress.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMITTER VERIFICATION (RED LIGHT):
Everytimeyouturnontheignitionkey,thestatuslightwillashanumberoftimes
equaltothenumberofcontrollers/transmittersprogrammedtothesystem.This
uniquesecurityfeatureprotectsyoufromapotentialthief(valetattendant,mechanic,
installer,etc.)fromaddingtheirowntransmitterwithoutyourknowledgeandaccess-
ingyourvehicleandit’scontentsatalatertime(theperfectcrime!).
ZONE VIOLATION RECALL:
 Ifthesecuritysystemistriggered,upondisarming,theREDstatuslightswillash
anumberoftimestoindicateexactlywhichzone(s),hasbeenviolated.Itwillstore
thelast2violatedcircuitsandcontinuallyrepeattheashpatternuntilthesystemis
disarmed and the vehicle’s ignition key is turned ON.
