Congratulations for your choice of the most versatile, fully-featured vehicle

security and convenience system available today, by Omega Research and Devel-

opment. To enjoy the most from your new system, please take a few moments to

learn about the principal user components, and the basic operation of the system.

These subjects are found in next several pages, followed by more detailed specifics

of complete operations and features.

Page - 4

Introduction to the System

• The Valet Switch can also be used, in conjunction with

the vehicle’s ignition key, to perform an emergency disarming of the security

system in the event the transmitter or transceiver is lost or becomes inoperable.

This is referred to as “performing an Emergency Override”.

• The Valet Switch is used in the procedure of programming operational

features and also for encoding transmitters and transceivers to the system.

A complete description of the Valet Switch and its operations is on pages 17-19.

The multicolored Status Lights report the operational

status of the system at all times, and also serves as a visual

deterrent to break-ins and theft. Specific description of the

Status Light operation may be found on pages 20-21.

The Valet Switch has three main functions:

• The Valet Switch can be used to turn off the security

functions, including any automatic arming or locking

features (if used), and/or remote engine starting

functions of the system. The former is “Alarm Valet

Mode”; the later is “Starting Valet Mode” .

The system can operated by two types of devices: the 2-Way Controller and the

1-Way Transmitter. Your system comes with one of each of these, pre-learned

to operate the system. The controller, in addition to operating your system, also

receives signals from the system, and displays a variety of system conditions on its

LCD screen. This is the patented Echo 2-way technology. The transmitter will fully

operate the system, but it can not receive signals nor report events from the vehicle.

Your system can be operated by as many as four controllers and/or transmitters.

One of the components, typically mounted on the windshield, is the Window Unit

module which contains the Status Lights and the Valet Switch. The window

unit also receives and transmits the Echo technology

communications for the system’s 2-way operation.

The controller and the transmitter both share the same four operational buttons, and

their use to operate the system is the same. These buttons and a brief description

of what they do are:

“disarm/unlock”

• Pressing and releasing the “disarm/unlock” button disarms the system and

unlocks the doors unless the alarm is triggered, in which case it will disarm the

activated alarm, but not unlock the doors unless the button is pressed again.

• Pressing and holding this button for three seconds will first disarm, and then

activate the Panic feature, unlocking the doors.

• The unlock operation may be optionally configured during the system’s

installation so that pressing this button once disarms the system and unlocks

only the driver's door, and pressing a second time unlocks all of the doors.

“II”or“

:”

• Pressing the “II” button for two seconds can be used to activate an extra

output, known as the “2nd channel”, for an optional function such as trunk

release.

The “Echo” operation of the system the 2-Way Controller receiving

and reacting to signals from the system in the vehicle, is included

in the following general system operation descriptions; the Echo’s

icons and its programming are detailed on pages 22-25.

- IMPORTANT -

This system is the most versatile vehicle security system made. It

has many programmable features and includes built-in program-

mable relays, which can offer more features and operations which

are described in the basic system instructions.

To a large degree, these extra features and operations are config-

ured at the installation of the system. Please read the sections of

this manual which explain programmable features, and please

consult your installer for specifics on how your system is config-

ured, and for installation options which may have used, or can be

added to system after installation.

EXAMPLE- the system can sound the vehicle’s horn in place of or in

addition to the electronic siren which is included with it. But the

operations are described with the siren only.

• Pressing and releasing this button twice arms or disarms the system without the

confirmation chirps.

• Pressing this button immediately after arming will leave the alarm armed, but

with the shock sensor feature bypassed.

“III”or“”

• Pressing and releasing the “III” button 2 times in 5 seconds will activate the

Remote start . See page 13 for more info.

• Remote Start can be reprogrammed for alternate activation methods. See

programmable feature #21.

• Pressing the “III”button once during remote start will restart the run timer.

“P” on the controller only.

• The controller has a fifth button, “P”, which will illuminate the LCD screen

when pressed. This is also the “Programming” button; it is used to customize

controller operations, which is explained on pages 19 and 20.

•Multi-car selection: The 2-way controller can operate up to 2 separate

systems. Pressing the “P” button and the “lock” button at the same time for 1

second will select CAR 1 and pressing the “P” button and the “unlock” button at

the same time for 1 second will select CAR 2 as indicated on the controller’s

clock display.

Arming Using the Controller or Transmitter

The system can always be armed from the controller or transmitter, if the ignition

key is “off” and the system is not in the Valet Mode. To arm the system, exit the

vehicle, close all of the doors, and simply press and release the “arm/lock” button

once.

Using the System

The system’s reaction: The parking and interior lights will flash once, the siren

will chirp once and the Status Light will begin to flash red, confirming that the

system is armed.* In addition, the doors will lock and the starter interrupt will

engage to prevent any attempt to start the vehicle. Your security system is now fully

armed, and is ready to respond if an intrusion attempt is detected.

If the controller was used: Immediately after the system responds the control-

ler will chirp once (or four times if a zone is bypassed), the “ARM” icon will

appear, the “locked lock” icon appears, confirming that doors have locked, and the

reporting vehicle (CAR 1 or CAR 2) will be displayed.

Page - 7

*If the 2-way controller is used to operate the system, it will receive a signal

back and confirm that the operation was performed.

*The system is described in its most common and basic configuration, with

doorlocks connected, and the interior lights must be connected. The vehicle

horn may used in place of, or in addition to, the system’s electronic siren.

Your system is designed to deter theft of both your vehicle and its contents.

“Arming” your system turns on the protection, disabling the vehicle’s starter

and locking the doors. Once the system is Armed, any intrusion attempt will

Activate it, sounding the electronic “Psyren” psycho siren and flashing the

parking and interior lights to attract attention. The unique and patented “2-in-1”

Psyren psycho siren actually produces the sounds of two different sirens at

once, ensuring that it won’t be ignored like all of the other “common” car alarms.

Disarming the system turns off the protection, unlocking the doors and turning

on the parking and interior lights, allowing lighted access to, and normal use of,

the vehicle.

There are two methods of arming the system:

1- The first method is to use the controller* or transmitter, by pressing and

releasing the “arm/lock” button. The system must not already be armed or be

in Valet Mode, and the vehicle’s ignition key must be off.

2- The second method is Last Door Arming, which configures the system to

automatically arm itself every time you exit the vehicle. This method of arming

is programmable, and may be used or not used as desired.

Arming Bypass: Upon arming, if any system sensing circuit is inoperable, that

circuit only will automatically be bypassed. When an unsecured sensing circuit is

in a bypassed state, all other normally operating circuits will be protected. Should

the bypassed circuit become secured, it will automatically be reinstated for

protection 5 seconds later. When certain protection circuits are bypassed, such as

the hood/trunk and impact sensor, and the system is armed, it will indicate this by

chirping the siren three time and flashing the parking lights three times instead of

the normal arming indication of one chirp and one flash.

For example, should the trunk be open, you can still arm the system with the

transmitter, and in this case the arming indicator will be 3 siren chirps and 3 parking

light flashes. Arming Bypass will only operate when arming the system with the

transmitter.

If the controller was used for the arming, it will chirp three times instead of the

normal one time, and its display will also flash the icon of the zone which is

bypassed.

Sensor Bypass: When arming the system with the controller or transmitter,

you may conveniently and easily temporarily deactivate the impact sensor without

affecting the system’s other sensing circuits. To deactivate the sensor, arm the

system by pressing the “arm/lock” button, then press and release the transmitter’s

“II” button within three seconds. You will hear a second siren chirp confirming that

the security system has armed without the sensor protecting the vehicle. The next

time the system is armed normally with one “arm/lock” button press, the sensor

will again be part of your protection.

If the controller is used for the arming and then bypassing the sensor, let it

confirm the arming, then press the “II” button. The controller will then chirp twice

and turn on its “Impact” icons to indicate the bypassed sensor.

Automatic “Last Door Arming” of the System

The system can also be programmed to automatically arm itself, and in this

process, to lock or not lock the doors. When this feature is utilized, closing the

vehicle's last door will cause the siren to chirp once, the parking and interior lights

to flash once and the Status Light to start rapidly flashing red. Thirty seconds later

the siren will chirp again and the lights will flash again, the doors will lock (which

is separately programmable) and the Status Light will slow to a steady red flash,

confirming that the security system is fully armed. If a point of entry is reopened

before the single siren chirp at 30 seconds, the Last Door Arming process stops, and

will reset to start over when the point of entry is again closed. All protected entries

The system’s separate “arm/lock” and “disarm/unlock” button design allows

repetitive operation- if already armed, pressing the “arm/lock” button will simply

rearm the system, and vice versa when pressing the “disarm/unlock” button.

Controllers and transmitters both operate in this fashion.

Page - 8 Page - 9

While the System is Armed, and should it Trigger

While the security system is armed, the Status Light flashes red in color. Should

any intrusion attempt be detected, the system will instantly activate, or "trigger".

Once triggered, the system loudly sounds the siren and flashes the parking and interior

lights on and off.

must be closed to initiate the Last Door Arming sequence.

To temporarily prevent the system from automatically Last Door Arming, you have

these options: put the system into Alarm Valet Mode (page 18), leave the door open,

or, in most cases turning on the dome light may cause the system to detect that your

door is still open. Leaving the ignition key turned "on" is not recommended.

Last Door Arming offers a high level of security, since you do not have to

remember to arm the security system every time you leave the vehicle, and using

it may entitle you to an insurance discount (please check with your agent or carrier).

When it is first triggered, the Status Light changes its red flash pattern, and the

doors will automatically relock. Should a door be open when the system triggers,

it will wait until the door is closed, and at that time relock the doors. The automatic

relocking of the doors denies access to the thief, and is just one of the many exclusive

patented features of the system. The siren will sound and the parking and interior

lights will flash for 30 seconds unless you disarm the system first (60, 90 and 120

seconds activated periods are options- see Feature #11, page 34). If all protected

entries are secure at the end of the 30 seconds, the system will stop and rearm itself,

ready to detect further entry attempts. If there is a protected entry still open or the

impact sensor still in a violated state at the end of 30 seconds, the system will

reactivate for two more 30 second cycles. In this case the system will stop after a

total of 3 cycles and rearm automatically, and then ignore only the open entry or

violated sensor. When the entry is closed or the sensor is reset, protection will begin

instantly for the formerly affected circuit.

Anytime the security system triggers, the Status Light will indicate which

protected zone triggered the system by flashing two, three or four times between

pauses, in the red color which indicates “alarm” operations. This “Zone Violation”

code will continue to flash, even after disarming. The system can hold two different

violation codes in it's memory, which is cleared by turning the ignition switch "on".

Once the system has been activated and reset, the disarming confirmation changes

to make the user aware that it has done so.

How the controller reacts: Any 2-way controller programmed to the system

will react to an alarm activation, provided it is within range of the system. Upon

receiving a signal from the activated system, the controller will start chirping,

and an icon will start flashing, indicating which protected zone’s violation caused

the system’s alarm condition.

The controller will continue the chirping for 15 seconds, or until any of its buttons

Page - 10

There are two methods of disarming the system:

Disarming the System

Disarming the System Using

the Controller or Transmitter

2- The second method is an “Emergency Override” alternative, should the

controller or transmitter become lost or inoperable. This method uses the Valet

Switch, but the vehicle’s ignition key is also required.

1- The primary method is to use the controller or transmitter by pressing and

releasing its “disarm/unlock” button. This is the normal “daily use” method.

Press and release the controller or transmitter “disarm/unlock” button

once to instantly disarm the system, disengaging the starter interrupt and unlock the

doors. If you have the optional unlock driver's door feature installed, then upon

disarming only the driver's door will unlock, and if the “disarm/unlock” button is

pressed again at anytime thereafter, all of the doors will unlock.

The system’s reaction: Disarming is confirmed by the siren chirping twice, the

Status Light turning off, and the parking lights flashing twice, then with the interior

lights illuminating for 30 seconds for approach illumination. The lights will turn

off instantly if the ignition switch is turned "on" before the 30 seconds expires.

If the controller was used: It will confirm by chirping twice (or four times if

the system was activated), showing “DISARM” icon and “unlocked lock”, and

are pressed. Which button being pressed has these effects upon the triggered system:

• Pressing “arm/lock” will rearm the system, stopping both system’s alarm

condition (leaving it armed), and stop the controller’s chirping.

• Pressing “disarm/unlock” will disarm the system, leaving the doors locked,

stopping both system’s alarm condition (leaving it disarmed) and the

controller’s chirping. Pressing the button a second time unlocks the doors.

• Pressing and releasing any of the three other buttons will simply stop the

controller’s chirping, but leave the security system still sounding in its

alarm state.

The controller will continue to display the flashing icon indicating the violated

zone, while the system is disarmed, until the ignition switch is turned on.

Prewarning Detection Circuit: When the sensor is triggered by a light impact

or shock to the vehicle, the security system will respond by chirping the siren 3 times

and locking the doors. After this Prewarning circuit has been triggered five times

it will automatically shutdown until the alarm system is disarmed, then armed.

If the controller was used to arm the system and prewarning occurs, if in range it will

react by chirping 3 times and showing the “impact” starburst icon on its display.

Multi-vehicle mode: If the controller is set for CAR1 and CAR2 is triggered, the

controller will temporarily switch to CAR2 and alert you of the violation. It will

switch back to CAR1 5 seconds after pressing any button to acknowledge the

violation.

Page - 11

Safety Disarm/Storm Mode: While the system is activated, i.e. sounding the siren

and flashing the lights, pressing the “disarm/unlock” button will disarm the system,

but not unlock the doors. This safety feature ensures that the vehicle remain secure

should the system require disarming due to being activated from nuisance or malicious

false sensory inputs, such as typically produced by severe weather conditions. To

remotely unlock the doors if the system is disarmed while activated, simply repeat

the disarm operation by pressing and releasing the “disarm/unlock” button again.

If disarmed from a panic mode, the normal disarm indications are present, including

the unlocking of the doors.

Automatic Rearming Feature: Automatic Rearming is a programmable feature

which ensures that your system is never inadvertently disarmed. It is possible to

accidentally or unknowingly operate the controller or transmitter from a pocket or

purse. You may not even be aware of an accidental disarming due to the enhanced

operating distance offered by the system’s extended range, or if the controller

confirmation is not noticed. Automatic Rearming has the alarm rearm itself 90

seconds after it is has been disarmed, unless a vehicle door is opened and the ignition

key turned on. Automatic Rearming is confirmed by a fast flashing Status Light

after the disarming, unless the system was triggered, in which case a Zone Violation

code will flash instead.

During the 90 second period, Automatic Rearming can be paused by opening

the door or stopped completely by turning the ignition key "on". Also, Automatic

Rearming can be cancelled by the Safety Disarm/Storm Mode feature; if the system

is disarmed while triggered, Automatic Rearming will not occur.

If the system was activated and reset itself: The disarming confirmation will

no longer be 2 siren chirps, and the parking lights flashing twice before staying on

with the interior lights. Instead, the system will respond with 4 siren chirps and the

parking and interior lights flashing 4 times before staying on for 30 seconds. The

Status Light will change to flashing two to four times in red between pauses as a “Zone

Violation” code to indicate which protection circuit triggered the system (2 flashes,

hood/trunk; 3 flashes, doors; 4 flashes , impact sensor). These special audible and

visual disarming indications, and Zone Violation code, will remain this way until the

ignition key is turned “on”.

Disarming the System by Emergency Override

Should the transmitter become lost, damaged, or its batteries become exhausted,

the Valet Switch and the vehicle’s ignition key may be used to disarm the system:

Step 1 With the system in the armed condition, enter the vehicle via the driver's

door (be aware that the alarm will trigger when the door is opened).

briefly show the reporting vehicle (CAR 1 or CAR 2).

Page - 12

The number of Valet Switch presses which are required for the Emergency

Override is custom-programmable! This is the SecureCode feature, which is

described on pages 19 & 20. The above Emergency Override instructions reflect

the “as received from the factory” default setting.

Step 3 Within 5 seconds press and release the Valet Switch one time. The system

will disarm.

Should you feel threatened, or the need to attract attention, you can activate your

system's remote “Panic” feature at any time by pressing and holding for 3 seconds

the controller or transmitter’s “arm/lock”, the “disarm/unlock” button. Your

system will respond by sounding the siren and flashing the parking lights for the

normal activated alarm period of 30 seconds.

Additionally, the system features an unique “enhanced” remote Panic operation,

regarding additional operations during Panic, and in association with the transmitter

button used in it’s activation or deactivation:

Remote Panic Feature

To disengage remote Panic, simply press and release any one of the same two

transmitter buttons, or, allow it automatically stop after 30 seconds.

• Activating it with the “disarm/unlock” button will unlock the doors, disarm

the system and does not engage the starter interrupt.

• Activating Panic with the “arm/lock” button will lock the doors, arm the

system and engage the starter interrupt.

• Deactivating Panic with the “arm/lock” button will stop Panic, and leave the

system armed with the starter interrupt engaged, and the doors locked.

• Deactivating it with the “disarm/unlock” button will stop Panic, and leave the

system disarmed with the starter interrupt disengaged, and the doors unlocked.

• If the system is allowed reset itself from remote Panic, it will enter the armed

state, locking the doors and engaging the starter interrupt, regardless of which

of the three buttons was used to activate it.

Step 2 Using the ignition key, turn the vehicle’s ignition switch on.

Page - 13

Your system offers the ultimate in comfort and convenience- remote engine

starting. This feature allows the vehicle’s interior to be warmed in the winter or cooled

in the summer before you enter the vehicle. Simply leave the climate controls set

to the desired settings when leaving the vehicle prior to using the remote starting

feature.

The following pages explain the remote engine starting operations. If the vehicle

has a manual transmission, a special procedure is required when exiting the vehicle

to enable the ability to remote start. Otherwise, the actual activation of remote start

is the same for automatic or manual transmission vehicles.

Remote Engine Starting

Pressing and releasing the “III” button 2 times in 5 seconds will activate the

Remote start if configured to do so.

How to Activate Remote Starting

The system’s reaction: The system will respond first by rapidly flashing the

Status Light in green color, then by turning on the ignition and flashing the parking

lights once. Then the starter will engage until the engine runs; 10 seconds later the

parking lights will illuminate steady during the period that the engine is running

from being remotely started. (having them flash instead is an option).

The engine will run for 10 minutes (the factory-set period). Other time periods may

be programmed, if desired, by referring to the “Programming Features” section. At

any time during remote start mode you can press the remote start button again to

restart the engine run timer. To remotely stop it press and release the transmitter’s

remote start command again. The system will stop the engine, and extinguish the

parking lights.

If the controller was used: If the controller is used to activate remote engine

starting, to confirm the operation it will first play a musical melody, and display

the “start” icon, which are puffs of smoke and appear behind the vehicle (5 differ-

ent musical melodies are programmable). Once the engine has started, when the

vehicle’s parking lights come back on the “start” icon’s puffs of smoke will change

to appearing sequentially. The clock will change to 0:00 to start the remote start

timer. When the remote operation has 1 minute left to run, the controller will beep

to warn you of the cycle ending.

• When leaving the vehicle before remote starting, remember to set the climate

controls to the desired heating or air conditioning settings.

• If desired, the system’s alarm function may be armed or disarmed as needed

during remote start operations (the system must be disarmed before entering

the vehicle).

The remote engine starting feature should not be used when

the vehicle is parked in an enclosed structure or garage!

Page - 14

Should the engine fail to start on the first attempt, the system will subsequently make

as many as three further attempts, as needed. Please note that each starting attempt

takes approximately 20 seconds for the system to check the vehicle’s status, cycle

the ignition and starter circuits, and then monitor vehicle status again before the next

attempt.

Safety Features: Certain conditions will prevent the engine from remotely

starting, or if remotely started already, will stop the running engine. These

conditions are:

• A pressed brake pedal.

• The gear selector not being in the “park” or “neutral” position, or alternatively,

the parking brake not being set.

• An open hood.

• If manual transmission, the vehicle was entered or disturbed after the setup

procedure was performed.

An open door will not prevent the system from starting the engine; if the engine has

already been remotely started, opening a door will not stop the running engine,

unless the system is armed. Opening a door with the engine running by remote

control and the system armed will result in activating the system, which will stop

the running engine.

To drive the vehicle away after remote starting, disarm the system (if needed) open

the door to enter the vehicle, insert the key into the ignition switch and turn the

switch to “on” or “run” position (not “start”!). Then press the brake pedal or remove

the gear selector from “park”; now the engine is no longer running from the system,

but rather from the ignition key. To indicate this, the system will briefly sound the

siren. Pressing the Valet Switch will also turn off the system’s running the engine,

but without the violated safety circuit siren sounding.

If a start command is sent from the controller or transmitter, but any of the following

conditions are present, the system will not attempt to start the engine and will instead

have a short sounding of the siren to indicate a violated safety circuit. The violated

safety circuit conditions which can produce this indication are the gear selector not

in the “park” position, an open hood or trunk, or a pressed brake pedal.

“Stick Shift” Remote Starting Setup Procedure: When the system is in-

stalled into a manual transmission vehicle, Installer Programmable Feature #5 must

be turned on. Then, whenever remote starting will be desired at a later time the

When the engine stops running, whether by safety condition or controller com-

mand, a different musical melody is played, and the “start” icon disappears. If a

safety circuit stops the engine, the “crossed out key” icon will momentarily appear

(but not if the controller’s command stops the engine).

If a safety circuit prevents the starting attempt, the “engine stopped” melody

will play, and the “crossed out key” icon will appear. Step 2 Press and release the controller or transmitter “III” button twice (same as

activating remote start). The Status Light will begin flashing green, as the

system is now keeping the engine running. Do not press the brake pedal from

this point, and the parking brake must remain on.

Step 3 Within 2 minutes, turn off the ignition key, exit the vehicle and then press

the transmitter’s “arm/lock” button to lock the vehicle. The alarm will

also arm, and the previously running engine will stop. The Status Light

also changes to show the “armed” indication, flashing slowly red, but

every fourth flash will be green, indicating that the system is “armed, and

ready for remote starting”.

Step 1 With the engine running and foot on the brake, apply the parking brake, put

the transmission shifter in “neutral”, and remove your foot from the brake.

following procedure must be performed before exiting the vehicle:

From this point, the vehicle may be remote started provided that it is not

disturbed. When ready to remote start, the activation of remote starting is the same

as previously described: press and release the transmitter’s “III” button twice.

During the setup procedure, the parking brake must remain set, and the regular

brake pedal must not be pressed. After exiting the vehicle, the transmitter’s “arm/

lock” button only must be used to secure the vehicle. Using any other transmitter

button will produce the appropriate system response, but the remote starting setup

will be voided.

Once the system is fully setup for remote starting, it will start the engine if the

next transmitter operation is activating remote start. If any other transmitter button

is pressed the remote starting setup will be voided. If the armed alarm should be

triggered during this period, the remote starting setup condition will be voided.

Pit-Stop Feature: This feature allows you to turn off the ignition switch, remove

your keys, leave the vehicle and lock your doors while leaving the engine running.

To use this feature, have the engine running normally from the ignition switch, have

the gear selector in “park”, and your foot off of the brake pedal. Press the Valet

Switch twice; the parking lights will flash once and the siren chirps 5 times; then

turn the ignition off. The engine will remain running for the programmed run time,

or it will turn off if another controller or transmitter signal is received, a safety

circuit is violated, or if the Valet Switch is pressed.

This feature may be used anytime; it does not have to be specially programmed

to operate.

The system also has a 3rd channel outputwhich is similar to the 2nd channel,

but it does have some special operational design differences. To operate it, press

and hold the controller or transmitter “II” and “III” buttons together for 3 seconds.

The differences are that 3rd channel output will operate regardless of the ignition

switch being "on" or "off", and there is no audible or visual confirmation. Connection

of the 3rd channel will vary, depending upon the chosen application, and may require

extra parts or installation.

interior lights for 30 seconds, unlocking the doors, and disarming the system if it was

armed. The 2nd channel output will not operate when the ignition switch is "on"

unless the vehicle's door is open. If desired, the security system can be programmed

to remain armed when this feature is used, and connection of the 2nd channel may

require extra parts or installation.

There are also optional 4th channel and 5th channel outputs, which are

available if more remote control functions are desired. These outputs can be

repurposed from two other system outputs, the factory arm and disarm outputs, by

an Installer Programmable Feature #9 (see page 42).

When these outputs are programmed to operate, pressing the transmitter or

controller “arm/lock” and “II” buttons together for 3 seconds will activate the 4th

channel output. Pressing the “disarm/unlock” and “III” buttons together for 3

seconds will activate the 5th channel.

The Valet Switch is located in the Window Unit, or optionally, the installer may

have mounted a separate Valet Switch in a hidden, yet accessible location. Please

ensure that you and others who use your vehicle are aware of the location of the

Valet Switch and its uses. The Valet Switch has several functions:

Using the Valet Switch-

Alarm Valet Mode & Starting Valet Mode

• It is also used in the procedures for programming features and programming

controllers or transmitters to operate the system. See the “Programming

sections of this manual for details on these uses.

• Should your controller or transmitter be lost or become inoperable, the Valet

Switch, and the ignition key, can be used to disarm the system with an

Emergency Override.

• Placing your system into Alarm Valet Mode, which prevents it from arming.

• Placing it into Starting Valet Mode, which prevents it from remote starting.

Other Controller and Transmitter Operations

Turbo Timer Feature: It is typically recommended that vehicles equipped with

turbocharged engines allow the engine to idle for a few minutes before turning it

off. When this Installer Programmable Feature is programmed on, the system will

automatically keep the engine running as follows:

This feature must be programmed by the installer, and turning it on offers three run

time choices- 1, 2, or 3 minutes. The alarm may be armed while the engine is

running. Turbo Timer can be prevented form engaging, or “bypassed” if desired,

by turning the engine off first and then engaging the parking brake, or if it’s al-

ready engaged simply step on the brake pedal to turn the running engine off.

• With the engine running, hold the brake pedal and engage the parking brake.

When the brake pedal is released, the system will keep the engine running for

the selected time, and then automatically turn it off.

Low Voltage and Low Temperature Starting Feature: This feature will

automatically start the engine should the vehicle battery voltage drop to 11 volts or

temperature drop to 15 or 32 degrees fahrenheit. This feature is very useful if the

vehicle is parked unattended for a long period of time. These features must be

activated each time you wish to use them, as follows:

• Turn the ignition switch “on”, then “off” (engine not running), and within 7

seconds press the valet button 2 times. If there is a 2 second delay without

further valet presses, the system will enter low voltage start mode and confirm

with 3 chirps. The system is now in low voltage start mode.

• If the valet switch is pressed 1 time (15 degrees fahrenheit) -Or- 2 times (32

degrees fahrenheit) within 5 seconds, it will chirp 1 or 2 times to indicate the

selected temperature; low temp start is now active.

The 2nd channel output, which is operated by pressing and holding the

controller or transmitter “II” button for 1 second, is designed specifically to operate

your vehicle’s electric power trunk release. Your vehicle will respond by releasing

the trunk lid or rear hatch, chirping the siren twice, turning on your parking and

To Silently Arm or Disarm the alarm, press and release the “II” button twice.

The siren’s confirmation chirps will not occur, and this operation simply reverses,

or “toggles” the armed and disarmed status that the system.

The sensor may be temporarily bypassed. When arming the alarm with the

controller or transmitter, within 3 seconds after the arming chirp press the “II” button.

The system will respond with another single chirp, confirming that the sensor is

bypassed.

Page - 16

NOTE: When low temp start is activated, low voltage start stays on. Low

voltage and low temperature start modes will operate until the ignition key is

turned “ON” again and will activate a maximum of once every two hours.

Alarm Valet Mode: This allows you to turn off all of the “alarm” operations of

the security system while retaining the remote convenience features such as keyless

entry, Panic, and the Auxiliary Outputs. Remote starting is still operable, and has

its own valet mode (below). The system may only be placed into Alarm Valet Mode

when it’s disarmed; if armed, an Emergency Override must be performed before

placing into Alarm Valet Mode. Once the system is in Alarm Valet Mode, it cannot

become armed from the transmitter, Last Door Arming, or Automatic Rearming.

Alarm Valet Mode and Emergency Override are two similar, but different

procedures, although both operations use the Valet Switch, . Emergency Override

disarms an armed and activated system, and requires the ignition key. Alarm Valet

Mode turns off the alarm operations of the disarmed system, but without the need

of the ignition key.

Alarm Valet Mode is designed for situations in which it is not convenient for

the security portion of the system to be operational, such as during extended

stopovers for vehicle servicing, maintenance, valet parking, washing, etc.

To Enter Alarm Valet Mode: With the system disarmed, and without pressing

the brake pedal, press and hold the Valet Switch for 2 seconds.

• The siren will chirp twice, the parking lights will flash twice and the Status

Light will illuminate solid red, then a series of green flashes, then return to solid

red. The green flashes, numbering from 1 to 6 times, is a remote starting diag-

nostic code (see page 21).

• To indicate that the system is in Alarm Valet Mode, the Status Indicator Light

remains solid red whenever the system is in Alarm Valet Mode.

• To remind the user that the system is in Alarm Valet Mode, the siren will

chirp once every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned off.

Page - 18

• The siren will chirp twice, the parking lights will flash twice and the Status

Light will illuminate solid green to confirm that the system is in Starting Valet

Mode.

• There is no audible reminder that the system is in Starting Valet mode.

To Enter both Modes (Full Valet Mode): With the system disarmed, press

and hold the Valet Switch for 4-6 seconds with the brake pedal in both conditions.

For example, start pressing the Valet Switch with the brake pedal unpressed; as

Starting Valet Mode: This feature is similar to Alarm Valet Mode, but its purpose

is to turn off the remote starting operations of the system. The system may be placed

into Starting Valet Mode and Alarm Valet Mode independently, or into both modes

at the same time. Please note that the only difference in obtaining either mode is

whether or not the brake pedal is being pressed.

To Enter Starting Valet Mode With the system disarmed, and depressing the

brake pedal, press and hold the Valet Switch for 2 seconds.

Note: Some vehicles may require the ignition to be “ON”.

To Exit any of the 3 forms of Valet Mode, simply Press & Release the Valet

Switch at any time.

• The Status Indicator Light will turn off to confirm exit from either Alarm Valet

Mode, Starting Valet Mode, or both.

“SecureCode” allows the user to customize the number of Valet Switch presses which

are required to successfully perform an Emergency Override. The basic Emergency

Override procedure is described on pages 11-12. Instead of a single “1 press”

of the Valet Switch which would be required in order to perform an Emergency

Override, two stages of Valet Switch presses must be made. In each of the two stages,

the Valet Switch will need to be pressed 1 through 9 times, as programmed by the

user. This is the Emergency Override procedure if the system has programmed with

a customized SecureCode:

Step 1 With the system in the armed condition, enter the vehicle via the driver's

door (be aware that the system will activate to an alarm condition when the

SecureCode

Page - 19

soon as the two chirps are heard, press the brake pedal but do not release the Valet

Switch. As soon as a second set of two chirps is heard, the Valet Switch may be

released. The system is now in Full Valet Mode. It does not matter in what order

the pressed or unpressed brake pedal occurs.

• Once the system is in Full Valet Mode the Status Indicator Light will slowly

alternate green and red to confirm that the system is in Full Valet Mode. This

indication is present whenever the system is in Full Valet Mode.

• There will be the single chirp reminder every time the ignition turns off. This

is for the Alarm Valet Mode part of the Full Valet Mode condition.

Once the system is disarmed, if Valet Mode is desired, just press and hold the

Valet Switch for 2 seconds to place the system into Valet Mode. Should a mistake

be made entering the SecureCode, after a failed attempt to achieve SecureCode, the

ignition switch must be turned off, then on again before another attempt is made.

door is opened).

Step 2 Using the ignition key, turn the vehicle’s ignition switch on.

Step 3 Within 5 seconds press and release the Valet Switch the same number of

times that have been programmed for stage #1.

Step 4 After a few seconds, the siren will stop sounding, chirp once, and then

resume sounding.

Step 5 Now, within 5 seconds press and release the Valet Switch the same number

of times that have been programmed for stage #2. Within a few seconds

the siren will stop sounding, and the unit will disarm.

Should two failed SecureCode attempts be made, the system will ignore any further

presses of the Valet Switch for two minutes.

In addition to Emergency Override, if any of the three anti-carjacking features

are utilized, a correct customized SecureCode would also be required to turn off

anti-carjacking once it has become fully activated. How to program your own

customized SecureCode is explained on pages 29, 30 and 31.

The Status Light

The Status Light visually confirms the status of the system and provides a high

level of visual deterrence. Two colors are shown- Red for security operations, and

Green for remote starting operations. Combinations of both colors are seen when

the two operations are occurring together. The Status Light is in the window unit,

and actually consists of two LED lights, with identical operation, for maximum

visibility.

Security System Status: The Red colored operations of the Status Light indicate

the status of the security system:

1) Off = The security system is disarmed and not performing automatic functions.

The remote starter system is off, but in standby mode.

2) On Red Constant = The security system is in the Valet Mode, with the remote

starter system off and in standby mode.

3) Flashing Slow Red = The security system is fully armed, with the remote starter

system off and in standby mode.

4) Flashing Fast Red = Last Door Arming or Automatic Rearming is in progress,

with the remote starter system off and in standby mode.

Page - 20

Automatic Transmitter Verification: For the first 10 seconds after the vehicle’s

ignition is turned on, the Status Light will flash Red a number of times that equal the

number of controllers or transmitters that are capable of operating the system:

5) 1 Red Flash /pause = 1 transmitter is programmed.

6) 2 Red Flashes /pause = 2 transmitters are programmed.

7) 3 Red Flashes /pause = 3 transmitters are programmed.

8) 4 Red Flashes /pause = 4 transmitters are programmed.

Zone Violation: If the system enters an alarm condition, the Status Light will stop

flashing slow Red and begin to flash in sequence to indicate which protected zone

caused the alarm condition. The Status Light will flash and pause to indicate which

protected zone was violated while the system is still armed, after it’s disarmed, and

until the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. The system’s Zone Violation feature’s

memory can store two consecutive zone violations. If there have been multiple

21) Slowly Alternates Red & Green = Full Valet Mode (page 18).

22) Solid Green w/ Red Flash = Security Armed with Starting Valet Mode.

23) Solid Red w/ Green Flash = Remote starter system engaged with security

system in Valet Mode.

24) Rapidly Alternates Red & Green = Remote starter system engaged with

security system armed.

25) Slow Flashing Green w/ 1 to 4 Red Flashes = This indication is during remote

start operation after disarming the alarm, and shows that the pre-

viously Armed alarm was activated and reset prior to the remote

starting. The Red flashes are the Zone Violation (previous page),

occurring with the “engine running” indicator.

26) Slowly Flashing Red 3 Times, Green 1 Time = The system is programmed

for manual transmission remote starting, and is armed and ready

for starting.

9) 2 Red Flashes / Pause = System was triggered by open hood or trunk.

10) 3 Red Flashes / Pause = System was triggered by an open door.

11) 4 Red Flashes / Pause = System was triggered by the sensor.

• Turning on the ignition will clear the Zone Violation.

violations, the Status Light will show the two most recent violations in the order in

which they occurred.

Remote Starting Diagnostics: Whenever the system is placed into Alarm Valet

Mode, the Status Light illuminates solid Red. However, when this first occurs, the

Status Light will flash Red, then 1 to 6 Green flashes before resuming solid Red. This

indicates why the engine stopped running from the last previous remote starting.

15) Red / 1 Green Flash / Red = Programmed run time expired.

16) Red / 2 Green Flashes / Red = Brake was pressed or hood opened.

17) Red / 3 Green Flashes / Red = Engine stalled or bad tach signal.

18) Red / 4 Green Flashes / Red = Received transmitter command to stop.

19) Red / 5 Green Flashes / Red = Gear selector removed from “park”.

20) Red / 6 Green Flashes / Red = Security system triggered or low voltage.

12) Off = The remote starter system is off and in standby mode. The security

system is disarmed and not performing automatic functions.

13) Flashing Slow Green = The engine is running via the remote starting system.

14) Flashing Fast Green = A remote start command has been received, and the

system is in the process of starting the engine.

Starting System Status: The Status Light uses the color Green to indicate the

status of the remote starting part of the system:

Page - 21

Combination Indications: These indications occur when security and remote

starting operations are, or have been, simultaneous.

• The locked or unlocked pad-

lock (windshield) reflects the

true locked or unlocked status

of the doors (certain pro-

grammable features can auto-

matically arm the system, but

not lock the doors). Arming

with the controller or transmit-

ter always locks the doors;

Controller Icons: The LCD screen on the controller has various icons which

indicate system status. When the controller is used to operate the system, it receives

back a signal which causes it to chirp (emulating the siren) and display the

appropriate icons. Brief descriptions of the icons are:

• The digit readout is a clock, with AM and PM indication. This readout also

shows which vehicle (CAR 1 or CAR 2) is being controlled when a button is

pressed.

• The “DISARM” will also show “ARM”; this indicates the Armed or Disarmed

status of the system. Neither icon is present when the system is in Valet Mode.

The 2-Way Controller

The four system- operating buttons are described on pages 5 and 6. This section

explains the controller’s icons, and how to program the controller’s features.

they will unlock the doors unless the system is activated and sounding.

• “VALET” indicates Alarm Valet Mode, replacing the “ARM” or “DISARM”

icons. A musical tone occurs when placing the system into Alarm Valet Mode.

Page - 22

• When “BAT LOW” appears the transceiver’s 1.5 volt AAA battery should be

replaced with a new battery.

• The controller’s chirps and musical tones may be turned off, which makes the

unit vibrate instead; “MUTE” indicates this state.

• The “3” within a circle appears when the 3rd Channel Output is operated.

• “HOOD/TRUNK” indicates that this vehicle zone is or has been violated. If

associated with the system being activated, the controller also emits chirps,

until any button is pressed. In this case, the icon remains flashing until the

ignition switch is turned on.

• If a remote starting attempt is made, and systems aborts it due to a violated

safety circuit, the “crossed-out key” on the hood area will appear (this is

accompanied by a musical tone).

• The “CARJACK” icon within the vehicle’s front tag frame indicates that this

operation has been activated, which can be performed by any of three methods.

• On the vehicle’s windshield is a “hammer” and “impact” icon. When the shock

sensor detects light impact, causing the system to prewarn, the “impact” icon

alone will momentarily appear, accompanied by three chirps. If the sensor

CAR

Notes about the Controller and its operation:

• The system will transmit a signal to the controller when any change occurs in the

system. If another controller or transmitter is used, your controller will also be

updated.

• If multiple controllers are programmed to operate the system, the system will

send a page signal to both controllers.

• When the system does send a signal to the controller, a few seconds is

needed for this wireless “handshake” to occur. If the system is operated in a

rapid fashion, as in quickly repeating arm and disarm cycles, the controller will

not have time to receive the signal from the system, and therefore it will stop

responding and reporting the system’s status. Normally operating the system

corrects this condition.

• A final point to remember is that the controller cannot receive a signal from the

system while it itself is transmitting. For normal operations, the

controller’s buttons are pressed and released. Even when “Panic” is operated,

the controller button should be released as soon as “Panic” engages. Otherwise,

the controller cannot receive the signal from the system.

hammer and impact icon appears, and the controller chips until any button is

pressed, and the icon remains flashing until the ignition switch is turned on.

• The “DOOR” icon will indicate that the system was activated via the door

detection circuit. The controller chirps until any button is pressed, and the

icon remains flashing until the ignition is turned on.

• The “start” icon at the rear of the vehicle confirms remote starting, and is

accompanied by a musical melody. This icon stays on while remote start is

operating, and during which the puffs will change to appearing sequentially.

• The “2” within a circle indicates use of the 2nd Channel Output, which is most

commonly used for a remote trunk release feature.

• The “transmitting tower” icon is an in-range indicator. It is present if the last

transmission by the controller was answered by a return signal from the

system. Should the controller be operated, and no return signal is received,

this icon will disappear.

• The various lines at the upper rear of the vehicle graphic represent a unique

system feature which allows the user to customize the vehicle type

represented by the display. Options are: passenger car, pickup truck, and SUV.

Page - 23

Programming the Controller’s Options:

The 2-way controller has several user-programmable features:

•Chirp or Mute The chirps may be turned off, and replaced with vibration by

pressing “P” and “:” simultaneously for 1 second.

•Button Lock To lock all controller buttons and prevent accidental operation,

press “P” and “ “ simultaneously for 1 second. When locked, The padlock icon will

flash “locked”every time a button is pressed.

...

2) After 5 seconds the controller chirps twice; release the “P” but-

ton; the upper rear of the vehicle will flash; Vehicle Type may be chosen.

3) Press and release the “:” button; each press of the button changes the

vehicle from Passenger Car, then to Pickup Truck, and then to Van/SUV.

When the desired type is flashing, press and release the “P” button; the

Time’s “Hours” will flash, and may be set now.

Page - 24

5) Press and release the “:” button to advance the minutes or press and

release the “ ” button to reverse the minutes. When the minutes are

correct press and release the “P” button. The controller will play a

musical melody; this is the Start Melody which plays upon remote starting.

One of five melodies may be chosen now.

...

4) Press and release the “:” button to advance the hours, or press and

release the “ ” button to reverse the hours. When the Hours are correct

(please note “AM” or “PM”), press and release the “P” button.

The Time’s “Minutes” will flash, and may be set now.

...

1) Press and hold the “P” button for 5 seconds to access programming.

•Vehicle Type Choices are a passenger car, pickup truck, or van/SUV. This can

be selected separately for CAR1 and CAR2 profiles.

•Time Adjust To set the controller’s clock time.

•Start Melody; and Stop Melody These are played with remote starting.

Programmingfeaturesis a sequentialprocess- the controller isplaced into programming

mode,then eachprogrammableoperation isaccessed in turn. Programmingis performed

using the following steps:

6) Press and release the “:” button. Each press of the button changes to

the next melody, note that the LCD screen displays “S” and a numeral, which

is the melody number. When the desired musical tone has been the last one

played press and release the “P” button.

7) The controller will play another musical melody; this is the Stop Melody

which plays when remote start engine run period ends. There are five

different melody choices which can be made. Press and release

leave the controller undisturbed for 12 seconds, until it chirps once

• While the controller programming must be “scrolled” through, programming

mode can be exited at any point within the menu by simply not pressing any

buttons for 12 seconds. The Echo chirps once when it exits programming mode. Step 2 Turning the ignition back on.

Anti-Carjacking Protection

The system is equipped with three separate Anti-Carjacking protection features,

whose operation may be selectively activated by the ignition, by an open door, or

by the transmitter. All three are programmable, and must be turned on to operate.

Once activated, the user has 53 seconds to cancel the Anti-Carjacking protection

process by pressing the Valet Switch once. If Anti-Carjacking is not cancelled, 53

seconds after being activated the siren will begin to chirp for 7 seconds to alert the

user that the system is about to enter into an alarm condition. The Valet Switch may

still be pressed once during this period to cancel the Anti-Carjacking process.

If the Anti-Carjacking process is not cancelled before the 60 second count-

down expires, the system will enter an alarm condition, sounding the siren and

flashing the parking lights. 30 seconds after this occurs, or should the ignition be

turned off in the meantime, the stater interrupt will engage. Once the system

enters the alarm condition, it will not respond to the transmitter, nor will the sys-

tem reset automatically after 60 seconds, and it can only be disengaged by:

Step 1 Turning the vehicle’s ignition off.

• If the Echo is configured for “MUTE” operation (vibrates instead chirping),

then in programming it will not play the musical melodies. Instead, it vibrates

when the remote start Melody and Stop Melody are accessed for programming.

Timer Functions: The ECHO 2-way controller has 2 timer functions. A parking

timer for timing how long you’ve parked in a parking zone or at a parking meter.

Also, the controller has a remote start timer to keep track of how long the

vehicle’s engine has been running by remote start.

Parking Timer: Press the “LOCK” button twice within 5 seconds to

activate. The digital clock display will change to “0:00” to indicate the

timer has started. The timer is in hours/minutes format and can be

canceled by pressing the “UNLOCK” button. Press the “P” button during

the timer to see the clock display. It will display for 5 seconds then return

to the timer.

Remote Start Timer: Activating remote start will automatically start the

timer. The digital clock display will change to “0:00” to indicate the timer

has started. The timer is in hours/minutes format and can be canceled by

deactivating the remote start system. Press the “P” button during the

timer to see the clock display. It will display for 5 seconds then return to

the timer.

Multi-Vehicle Operation: The ECHO 2-way controller is capable of operating

up to 2 systems in separate vehicles. This is indicated by seeing “CAR1”or

“CAR2” in place of the clock display. Select “CAR1” by pressing “LOCK” and

“P” for 1 second. Select “CAR2” by pressing “UNLOCK” and “P” for 1 second.

Every alert to the controller will also indicate which “CAR” sent the alert.

Unauthorized Transmitter AlertTM is a protection feature which may be turned

on by the user (see the next section, “How to Program Controllers and Transmitters”).

When this protection feature is utilized, whenever a controller or transmitter is

added to operate the system, for 48 hours afterward a warning consisting of a brief

series of siren chirps sounds every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned on.

Also during this 48 hour warning period, the 10 second Automatic Transmitter

Verification visual display will increase to being displayed for 90 seconds instead

of 10 seconds. When this feature is used and activated, after 48 hours the warning

chirps disappear and the Status Light flashing transmitter/controller number returns

to being displayed for 10 seconds.

Automatic Transmitter VerificationTM shows the total number of controllers

and/or transmitters which can operate the system, by flashing the Status Light with

this number for 10 seconds every time that the ignition key is turned on. When a

controller is used to operate the system, as part of its confirmation the number of

operating controllers and transmitters is also displayed on its icon screen.

The system features several security safeguards in one of the most vulnerable

areas of any remotely controlled system. These features are found in both 2-way

controllers and 1-way transmitters.

Controller and Transmitter Protection

Code JumpingTM It is quite easy, with the proper equipment, to record an alarm

or keyless entry system’s transmitter signal, and simply play the captured signal

back to the system to defeat it. system’s Code Jumping renders such “code grabbing”

devices useless by randomly changing each signal that the controller or transmitter

sends.

Anti-Carjacking protection activated using a controller or transmitter

has the process start by pressing and holding buttons “II” and “III” for 3 seconds,

but only if the vehicle’s ignition is on. The Valet Switch must be pressed within 60

seconds after this is done to cancel Anti-Carjacking. This is User Programmable

Feature #19 (see pages 28,29, and 36).

Anti-Carjacking protection activated by an open door has the process start

should a door be opened after the vehicle is started and the engine is running. The

Valet Switch must be pressed within 60 seconds after the door is opened to cancel

Anti-Carjacking. User Programmable Feature #18 (see pages 28,29, and 36).

Page - 26

The three types of Anti-Carjacking protection features are:

Anti-Carjacking protection activated by the vehicle’s ignition has the

process start every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. The Valet Switch must

be pressed within 60 seconds every time the vehicle is started to cancel Anti-

Carjacking. This is User Programmable Feature #17 (see pages 28,29, and 36).

Step 3 Within 5 seconds, perform an Emergency Override using the Valet

Switch. If the SecureCode has been customized, the correct number of

Valet Switch presses must be made.

If the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature is on, programming a

controller or transmitter to the system will activate the Unauthorized

Transmitter Alert warning and the extended Status Light visual

display; for the next 48 hours the siren will sound a brief series of

chirps every time the vehicle’s ignition key is turned on. The

following special procedure programs the controllers/transmitters

and also turns the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature on.

Step 3 Press the “arm/lock” button on each remaining controller or transmitter.

The system will chirp the siren once to confirm that each was learned.

The controller or transmitter’s other three button's functions will

automatically be assigned when the “arm/lock” button is learned. If a code

is not received within a 10 second period, the learning process will

automatically terminate, as indicated by another siren burst.

Step 2 Within 5 seconds of turning on the ignition, press the Valet Switch 5 times.

The siren will briefly sound, confirming that for the next 10 seconds the

system is ready to learn a controller/transmitter code. To enter a code,

simply press and release the “arm/lock” button (the button which is

designed to arm the system). When the first controller/transmitter code is

learned all existing stored codes will be erased.

Special Programming procedure to turn On the UTA feature: Using this

method to program controllers or transmitters, and to turn on or turn off the

Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature.

Follow the same steps as the Standard Programming, but on any controller/

transmitter being programmed instead of pressing the “arm/lock” button, press the

“arm/lock” and the “disarm/unlock” buttons together. This action turns on the

Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature and at the same time programs the controller/

transmitter to operate the system.

The programming procedure is identical for a transmitter or for a controller. Also,

it is during the controller/transmitter programming procedure that the Unauthorized

Transmitter Alert feature may be turned on.

Step 1 Have all controllers and/or transmitters which are to operate the system at

hand. Turn the ignition “on”.

Standard Programming: Using this method to program additional or replacement

controllers or transmitters does not affect Unauthorized Transmitter Alert.

How to Program Controllers or Transmitters

The system is capable of being operated by as many as four controllers or transmitters;

these can be any combination of 1-way transmitters or 2-way controllers. Regardless

of which, the transmitter or transceiver must be encoded, or programmed, to the

system in order to operate it (excepting the originals, which were programmed at the

factory).

To a large extent the system’s versatility is due to an incredible array of programmable

features- 33 main-system programmable features which offer almost 100 choices of

operational and interfacing options.

How to Program Features

To Enter Programing Mode and Change Features:

Page - 28

For easier management of the programmable features, they are divided into two

separate accessibility levels. Features which allow the user to customize the

system’s operation according to their own choice are in one group, and the features

which are installation related, or intended for the installer’s use are in a second

group. The system has 23 User Programmable Features, and there are 10

Installer Programmable Features.

The vehicle ignition key and the Valet Switch are used to enter the Programming

Mode, then the controller or transmitter is used to change features. Once the system

is in Programming Mode, a 10 second period without programming activity will

cause the system to automatically exit Programming Mode. Features can be

selected in any order as desired.

The same basic “Features Programming Mode” is the means for changing

any of the features; the mode itself can be accessed as either the User level, or the

Installer level.

•The siren will chirp then sound briefly and the Status Light will

flash to confirm that the system is entering Programing Mode.

•In the case of accessing the Installer Mode, the siren chirp then brief

sounding will be heard at the fifth valet press, and then again at the

tenth valet switch press.

•The Status Light shows red color for User Programming, and Green

color for Installer programming.

•In either Programming Mode, if 10 seconds of no programming

activity occurs, the system will exit Programming Mode. Program-

ming activity is the pressing of the Valet Switch or pressing a trans-

mitter button once a feature is accessed.

5 times for User Programming

10 times for Installer Programming

When the desired Programming Mode is accessed, select a Fea-

ture>>>

Step 3 Within 5 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch either:

Step 2 Turn the ignition off.

Step 1 Turn the vehicles’s ignition on.

Once the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature is turned on, the warning will sound

for48 hours afterany controller ortransmitter programming, includingthe programming

session which was used to turn it on.

To Access a Feature:

Step 4 Within 10 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch the same num-

ber of times as the desired feature’s number.

•The siren will chirp and the Status Indicator Light will flash as

many times as the Valet Switch was pressed to indicate the feature

number which is now accessed.

•This and the following steps apply for both of the programming

levels- User Programming or Installer Programming.

To Change a Feature:

Step 5 After accessing the desired feature, within 10 seconds Press &

Release the appropriate controller or transmitter button.

• Pressing the “arm/lock” button typically turns the feature on; or sets

the feature’s first option. The siren will chirp once when this button

is pressed.

• Pressing the “disarm/unlock” button also typically turns the feature

off; or, sets the feature’s second option. The siren will chirp twice

when this button is pressed.

• Many features have third, and even fourth setting options. Pressing

the “II” and “III” buttons select these options. Confirmation chirps

when these buttons are pressed are three and four chirps respectively.

• Generally speaking, the Status Light will light solid when a selected

feature is programmed “on”, and not light when the feature is set for

“off”. Some features have more than one “on” option, in which case

the Status Light will remain on for all of the feature “on” settings.

To Access and Change further Features:

Step 6 If there are more features to be programmed, within 10 seconds of

the previous action Press & Release the Valet Switch the same

number of times as the next desired feature’s number.

• Again the siren will chirp and the Status Indicator Light will flash

as many times as the Valet Switch was pressed to indicate the new

feature number which is now accessed.

• Use the controller or transmitter as described in Step 5 to change the

newly accessed feature as desired.

• Repeat this Step 6 for each additional feature until all features are

programmed.

Step 7 Allow 10 seconds to pass without performing any programming

actions; or, turn the vehicles’s ignition on.

• The siren will sound briefly and the Status Indicator Light will go

out to confirm that the system is exiting Programing Mode.

The User Programmable Features

Page - 30

Each of the Programmable Features is described in detail in the

following pages. The User Programmable Features are described as

a first group, and the Installer Programmable Features as a second

group. It is important to note that programmable features affect the

exact operation of the system, and that the descriptions of any

features utilized should be used to supplement the basic system

operations which were described in previous sections of this booklet.

This group of User Programmable Features are all accessed as a group in the first level

of features’ programming. These features have a direct affect upon the system’s

operations, so the programming and operation of each are described.

The system’s 23 User Programmable Features:

1 SecureCode

2 Last Door Arming

3 Automatic Rearming

4 Starter Interrupt Functions

5 Ignition Activated Override

6 Doors Lock With Ignition On

Use the step-by-step instructions on the previous two pages to change any of

the programmable features, along with the feature’s option choices and related

programming controller/transmitter button assignment found in the following

individual feature descriptions.

To custom program a new SecureCode:

Step 3 After entering the first stage by pressing the “arm/lock” button the

desired number of times, and receiving a chirp for each press, wait for the

Step 2 Within 10 seconds slowly press and release the controller or transmitter’s

“arm/lock” button the number of times equal to the desired SecureCode

for stage 1, allow the system to respond to each controller/transmitter

button press with a siren chirp before pressing the button again.

Step 1 Follow Steps 1 to 4 in the previous “How to Program Features” instruc-

tions; at Step 4 the Valet Switch will be pressed and released once (the

siren chirps once) to access “feature #1”.

Feature #1 SecureCode

Factory Default Setting 1 Press

Options:

1 to 9 presses, in each of two stages

Step 4 Continue to configure stage 2 of the SecureCode by now pressing and

releasing the “disarm/unlock” button the number of times desired for the

stage 2. This should be done in the exact same fashion as the stage 1 entry-

press the “disarm/unlock” button, wait for a single chirp before pressing

the button again, and then when final button press is done, wait after the

single chirp for the siren to chirp the total number entered Valet Switch

entry.

system, after the final button press, to chirp the siren again the total

number of times that the button was pressed.

Feature #2 Last Door Arming

Factory Default Setting Off

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:

On without doors locking (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

On with doors locking (press “II” button to program)

“Last Door Arming” has the system automatically arm itself every time you exit the

vehicle (the complete operation is described on pages 8 & 9). This feature turns that

operation on or off, and with options of having Last Door Arming operate with or

without also locking the doors when the system does arm.

SecureCode is a unique patented feature which allows you to custom select the

number of Valet Switch presses in two stages, instead of a single “1 press”, which

would be required in order to perform an Emergency Override. If any of the three

anti-carjacking features are utilized, a customized SecureCode would also be

required to turn it off once it is fully activated. The SecureCode operation is

described on pages 19 and 20.

Page - 31

Feature #3 Automatic Rearming

Factory Default Setting Off

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:

On without doors locking (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

On with doors locking (press “II” button to program)

“Automatic Rearming”, described on page 11, prevents the system from becoming

accidentally disarmed by having it arm itself after being disarmed, if a door is not

then opened or the ignition turned on. Options are to have Automatic Rearming

operate with or without also locking the doors when the system does rearm.

Feature #4 Starter Interrupt Functions

Factory Default Setting Alarm Only

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:

Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Automatic (press “II” button to program)

Alarm & Anti-Grind (press “III” button to program)

This feature controls the Starter Interrupt circuit, in several ways. In its default

setting, “Alarm Only”, the Starter Interrupt is operable whenever the alarm is armed.

The Starter Interrupt can also be used to prevent the accidental grinding of the

starter, by trying to start the vehicle when it is already running by remote starting

(as when the ignition key is turned to “run” to drive the vehicle).

The “Automatic” option will cause the Starter Interrupt output to automati-

cally engage 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned "off", and also 90 sec-

onds after disarming the system. This automatic engagement will occur even if the

security system is in a disarmed state, but not if it is in Valet Mode. Once the

Starter Interrupt output is activated, the system must be armed, then disarmed with

the controller or transmitter, or placed into the Valet Mode by pressing and hold-

ing the Valet Switch for 2 seconds to disengage it. There are no Status Light

indications with this automatic form of Starter Interrupt.

Programming this feature off completely eliminates the Starter Interrupt out-

put, while leaving all other system operations fully functional.

Feature #5 Ignition Activated Override

Factory Default Setting Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Option: On (press “arm/lock” button to program)

This feature allows an activated system to be overridden and disarmed by simply

turning theignition switch on within 10 seconds of the system’s activation. After

10 seconds, the Emergency Override must be performed or the controller or trans-

mitter “disarm/unlock” button can be used to disarm the system.

Page - 32

Feature #6 Doors Lock With Ignition On

Factory Default Setting On (press “arm/lock” button to program)

Option: Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

This feature configures the system to automatically lock the vehicle’s doors every

time that the ignition switch is turned on. An exception to this would be if feature

#8 is turned on, and a door being open when the ignition switch is turned on. The

following feature #7 controls the automatic unlocking operations, and feature #8

provides for an override of this automatic locking if a door is open when the ignition

is turned on.

Feature #8 Open Door Bypass of Ignition Locking

Factory Default Setting On (press “arm/lock” button to program)

Option: Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

This feature cancels the automatic locking or unlocking of the vehicle’s doors

should one of the doors is open when the ignition switch is turned on or off.

Feature #7 Doors Unlock With Ignition Off

Factory Default Setting On (all doors will unlock)*

(press “III” button to program)

Options:

Off (press “arm/lock” button to program)

Driver’s Door Only* (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

All Doors Except Driver’s Door* (press “II” button to program)

Similar to the previous locking feature, except this feature controls the unlock

operations when the ignition is turned off, and it has more options because of the

system’s multiple unlocking outputs.

*Multiple unlock outputs offer the capability of unlocking only the driver’s

door when the system is disarmed (Driver Door Priority Unlocking), and then the

option of unlocking all doors with a second press of the “disarm/unlock” button.

The driver’s door unlocking differently from the other doors must be config-

ured when the system is installed!

If the system is installed without the Driver’s Door Priority Unlocking

interface, this feature unlocks all of the doors when the ignition switch is turned off.

If Driver’s Door Priority Unlocking is installed, this feature can control only the

driver’s door unlocking when the ignition is turned, all doors unlocking, or all doors

except the driver’s. The following feature provides for an override of this automatic

unlocking if a door is open when the ignition is turned off.

Feature #9 Confirmation Chirps

Factory Default Setting On

Options:

Page - 33

Feature #12 Parking Light Illumination Upon Disarm

Factory Default Setting On (press “arm/lock” button to program)

Option: Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

This feature affects the parking light operation when the system is disarmed. When

this feature is turned on, the parking lights flash once, and then turn back on for

external illumination for 30 seconds unless the ignition key is turned on during that

time. If this feature is turned off, the parking lights flash once only, and do not

illuminate. This feature only affects the system’s parking light operation, and not

the interior light operation.

Feature #13 2nd Channel Also Disarms System

Factory Default Setting On (press “arm/lock” button to program)

Option: Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

“2nd channel” is most commonly used to remotely open the vehicle’s trunk, in

which case the alarm should also disarm. This feature, turned on, configures the

system to disarm when the 2nd channel is used. If turned off, the 2nd channel output

will still occur, but without chirps or parking light flashes; and if armed, the system

will not disarm.

Feature #14 3 or 45 Second Arming Delay

Factory Default Setting 3 Seconds

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:

15 Seconds (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

30 Seconds (press “II” button to program)

45 Seconds (press “III” button to program)

When the system is armed, whether by the controller, transmitter or by an automatic

feature, there is a brief period of time in which a system activation, or alarm, cannot

occur. This Arming Delay allows the system to completely process its sensory

parameters, which can include the vehicle to stabilize. In some cases more time is

needed than the factory-set 3 seconds, and this feature offers three longer delay

options.

Feature #15 Steady Siren or Pulsed Horn

electronic siren; and that it also has a programmable relay which among its

Page - 35

Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Chirps Excepting Valet Mode (press “II” button to program)

Chirps in Valet Mode Only (press “III” button to program)

This feature removes the system’s 1 arming and 2 disarming confirmation chirps.

When this feature is used to remove these chirps, the system will still have 3 chirps

upon arming if a protected zone is violated, and still have 4 chirps upon disarming

if the system was previously activated. Using this feature to turn off the arm and

disarming chirps will also not affect the Prewarning operation, Unauthorized

Transmitter Alert (if used), nor will it affect the chirps used when programming.

The other two settings will have the confirmation chirps operate only when the

system is in Valet Mode, and not otherwise; or, the chirps will operate except when

the system is in Valet Mode.

Page - 34

Feature #10 Confirmation Chirp Volume

Factory Default Setting Medium High

(press “II” button to program)

Options:

Low (softest) (press “arm/lock” button to program)

Medium Low (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

High (loudest) (press “III” button to program)

This feature allows the choice of four different volume levels of the system’s

confirmation chirps, and when programming it, the buttons can be repeatedly and

sequentially pressed, thus making it easy to hear and choose the setting with the

best chirp volume.

This feature operates regardless of how feature #15, “Steady Siren” or “Pulsed

Horn” is set. Feature #15 sets “Steady”; or “Pulsed” as three different timings, for

the activated alarm period output. This feature, #10, affects only the confirmation

chirps.

This feature allows four choices of the Alarm Duration, which is the period of time

for which the system sounding the siren (and/or horn, optionally) and flashes the

parking lights when it is triggered. Caution: Before lengthening the Alarm

Duration you should always check and determine if there are any local anti-

noise or nuisance ordinances in your area, to avoid the possibility of receiving

a violation citation.

applications is being used to sound the vehicle’s existing horn. This feature changes

only the primary audible output, so that it can be utilized to sound the existing

horn by itself. This is for cases when the programmable relay is desired for other

features, such as unlocking the doors, or as an additional ignition or accessory

output should it be needed for the remote starting operation.

The Steady Siren setting is exactly that- a steady output which the electronic

siren requires. When programming this feature for using the output for the vehicle’s

horn, the optional setting produce pulsed output on the system’s siren wire, in

three different pulse timings, which allow a degree of customization of the horn’s

sound during the alarm activation.

Page - 36

Feature #16 Alarm Functions Bypass

Factory Default Setting Off (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Option: On (press “arm/lock” button to program)

This feature converts the system into a strictly Remote Keyless Entry System by

eliminating all antitheft alarm-oriented operations and features. When this feature

The Installer Programmable Features

The second group of features, the Installer Programmable Features, are accessed as

the second level of features’ programming, which is pressing the Valet Switch 10

times instead of 5 times when entering Programming Mode (page 28). Caution:

These features have a critical affect upon the system’s operations, and in many

cases, also upon the system’s wiring connections. These features should

NEVER be changed, except by the installer or other qualified professional.

The companion Installation Instructions booklet should be consulted for wiring

connections associated with these features.

The system’s 10 Installer Programmable Features:

1 Doorlocking Functions

2 Light Relay Functions

3 Horn Relay Functions

4 Turbo Timer

5 Manual Transmission Remote Starting

6 Engine Detection Method

7 Extended Starter Cranking Time

8 Programmable Remote Start Relay

9 Arm, Disarm or Additional Channels

10 Gasoline or Diesel Engine

Use the step-by-step instructions on pages 28-29 to change any of the Installer

Programmable Features, along with the feature’s option choices and related

programming controller/transmitter button assignment found in the following

individual feature descriptions.

Page - 38

Installer Programmable Features should only be used by the original

or other qualified installer, AND individual Installer Features should

only be used, where applicable, with the correct wiring connections.

Feature #1 Doorlocking Functions

Factory Default Setting .8 Second Lock & Unlock Output

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:

3 Second Lock & Unlock Output (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Double Pulse Unlock Output (press “II” button to program)

Total Closure Lock Output (press “III” button to program)

This single feature gives the installer several needed options, to match the system’s

doorlocking outputs to suite different vehicle requirements.

Page - 39

• The first setting (programmed by the “arm/lock” button) has the system

produce both the lock and unlock outputs as .8 second in duration. This is the

most common form of output needed, which interfaces most vehicles.

• The second setting (programmed by the “disarm/unlock” button) changes the

lock and unlock outputs to be a longer 3 second pulse output. This is for certain

vehicles which require a longer output pulse from the system’s control unit;

typically cars having vacuum pump systems, although the longer setting is also

more suitable in some newer vehicles.

• Some newer vehicles require a double pulse output to remotely unlock the doors

and/or to disarm a factory-equipped security system, which is what the Double

Pulse Unlock setting provides (it is programmed by the “II” button ). The lock

output pulse, in this setting, is .8 second.

• The Total Closure Lock Output (programmed by the “III” button) may be used

with vehicles which are originally equipped with the total-closure feature.

Typically, a total closure feature is when locking the vehicle’s doors if the key

in the door is held to “lock” for a period of time the vehicle will close all

windows and the sunroof, in addition to locking the doors.

Selecting this feature setting changes the system’s door lock output pulse from

a .8 second to as long as a 28 second duration output. The unlock output is 3

seconds in this setting.

Note: When this feature is turned on, during the 28 second period after arm-

ing the system, the lock output can be stopped on demand by pressing the

“arm/lock”or“disarm/unlock” button. Only the output will stop- pressing

either button again will normally operate the system, and at any time after the

28 second lock output period ends.

If either of the programmable relays are set for lock or unlock operation (the next

two Installer Programmable Features), the settings if this feature will operate the

programmable relays accordingly, in addition to the primary system doorlocking

outputs.

Feature #2 Light Relay Functions

Factory Default Setting Dome Light Output

(press “arm/lock” button to program)

Options:

Door Lock (press “disarm/unlock” button to program)

Ignition Output (press “II” button to program)

Accessory Output (press “III” button to program)

The system has two built-in relays, which can be programmed to perform several

different functions. The primary function of this relay, is to operate the vehicle’s

dome, or interior lighting as part of the system’s operations. Optionally, if desired

or needed, this relay can be programmed to be a door lock relay, or as medium-capacity

ignition or accessory outputs, if needed for remote starting use.
