SYSTEM OPERATION
To ARM your 825K system and automatically lock the doors, press the but-
ton on your pager or transmitter. If all zones were secured when you pressed
the button, the siren will then chirp once and your vehicle’s lights (hazard
or parking) will flash once. The starter kill relay will then activate, and the
Status LED will begin to flash.
Automatic Zone Bypass.If any of the trigger zones (i.e., trunk, hood, etc.)
are unsecured when you arm the system, that zone will be bypassed and the
LCD pager will display the icon of the unsecured zone. The bypassed zone(s)
will become active again (followed by a confirmation chirp) immediately after
they are secured. Note that you will also hear 4 “error chirps” from the siren
when arming if (a) the ignition is on and/or (b) a door is open and the door
input is programmed with the “3.0s” setting (see page 12).
NOTE: When the siren goes off, the icon will blink ON/OFF on your LCD pager.
Lock & Arm
To DISARM your 825K system and automatically unlock the doors, press the
button on your pager or transmitter. The siren will then chirp twice, ve-
hicle hazard/parking lights will flash twice, and the dome light will turn on.
Trigger Memory
. If the siren went off in your absence and you later disarm
the system, you will hear 4 siren chirps instead of two—except when the siren
was triggered by the sensor input. The pager will also beep 4 times and icons
will reveal the zone(s) that caused the siren to trigger.
Auto Rearm
. Your system can be set to automatically re-arm itself 30 sec.
after it is disarmed. (If a door is opened during the thirty seconds, the 825K
will not auto arm.) See line 12 on page 12 for programming options.
Auto Arm
. This feature automatically arms your system when you do the fol-
lowing: (1) Turn Ignition ON, (2) Turn Ignition OFF, (3) Open a Door and then
(4) Close the Door. Upon seeing this sequence of events, the 825K will chirp
once to indicate the system will soon arm. Then, 50 seconds after the first
chirp, you will hear 1 more chirp and all zones will be secured.
Disarm & Unlock
NOTE: If you open a door before hearing the second Auto Arm chirp, the
system will wait until you close the door. After you close the door, the siren will
chirp, and 50 seconds later chirp again, indicating all zones are secured.

Automatic Starter Kill (ASK)
. The 825K can be programmed to auto immobilize
the starter 30 seconds after you turn off the ignition. See line 10 on page 12.
Doors may be remotely locked or unlocked without arming or disarming the
security system. This allows your 825K to function as a normal keyless entry
system. While disarmed with the Ignition ON, pressing the button can
unlock the doors, but it will not lock. Alternatively, pressing the button
in Valet Mode (see page 10) allows you to lock and unlock with the Ignition
ON or OFF.
2-Step Door Unlock.The 825K can be installed (optional parts required) to
provide the added security of unlocking only the driver’s door when you press
the button and disarm the system. If you then press and hold the for
more than 2 seconds, all other doors will unlock. Consult your SciBorg dealer
for details about having this option installed.
NOTE: You can program the 825K to automatically lock or unlock the doors
when the ignition is turned ON or OFF. See line 11 on page 12 for details.
Door Lock/Unlock Only
To remote start your vehicle’s engine, press and hold the button for
more than 2 seconds. The hazard/parking lights will then flash 3 times and
the LCD pager will play a melody alert; and shortly after, the icon will
appear, indicating the 825K is preparing to start the engine. After several
seconds, if the engine start sequence is successful, the pager will display the
icon and the preset engine run-time and another melody will play. NOTE:
Vehicle hazard/parking lights flash during the entire remote start se-
quence for safety. This feature cannot be disabled.
Remote Engine Shutdown
. When you wish to end a remote start sequence
and shut down your engine, simply press the button once. The engine
will stop and the icon will disappear from the pager’s LCD. The hazard/
parking lights will flash 4 times, and the pager will play a melody.
Keep Engine Running
. If you wish to drive your vehicle after the engine has
been remote started, first ensure the system is disarmed and then turn on the
ignition with your key and step on the brake. Pressing the brake causes the
825K to end the remote start sequence and hand over engine control to the
vehicle’s ignition key-switch. If you later turn off the ignition with your key,
the engine will then shut down as usual. To keep your engine from shutting
down after you remove the ignition key, see “Keyless Idling” on page 6.

Remote Start Failure
. If the engine fails to start initially, the 825K will retry
3 more times. If the 825K fails to start the engine after 4 attempts, the start-
system will stop and the LCD pager will display the icon. The siren will
also chirp 4 times and the pager will beep 4 times.
NOTE: The 825K will not start the engine under these 3 conditions: (1) the
hood open, (2) the ignition key turned ON, (3) the brake pedal pushed (see H3-
16 on pg.21 of the Installation Guide). If any of these conditions occur while
the engine is remote started, the engine will immediately shutdown for safety.
Preset Engine Run Time
. The engine is factory programmed to run for 10 min-
utes, but you can change the preset run time to 5, 15 or 20 minutes. See line 1
on page 12 for details. When there is only 1 minute remaining before engine
shutdown, the LCD pager will play a chime and then display .
Remote Engine Run Time
. After the engine has been successfully remote
started, you can easily increase the engine run duration from your pager or
transmitter. Simply press the and buttons at the same time to adjust
the engine run time in increments of 5 minutes, for up to 20 minutes. The
LCD pager will display the changes you have made. For example, if the LCD
pager displays , it means you have chosen a “run time of 15 minutes.”
TIP: Pressing and holding the and buttons for more than 2 seconds
will display the “remaining engine run time” on the LCD pager.
NOTE: When the engine is not running, pressing the and buttons for
any duration will display the current status of the vehicle on the pager.
Temperature Controlled Auto Start
. The 825K can start your vehicle’s engine
automatically when the temperature falls below a specified level. (See page
12, line 2.) To activate this feature, press and hold the and buttons
for more than 2 seconds. Press a second time to deactivate. When activated,
the siren will chirp once and the hazard/parking lights will flash once. The
icon will appear on the LCD pager along with the preset activation tem-
perature, and a melody will also play. (If the preset temperature is -10°C, for
example, the LCD pager will display .) Temperature Controlled Auto
Start will allow a maximum of 6 start cycles in a 2 hour period.
Timed Auto Start
. Press and hold and for more than 2 seconds to
have the 825K start your vehicle’s engine each day (every 24 hours) at the
exact time you activate this feature. The siren will chirp once and the pager
will play a melody and display the icon when active. The pager will then
beep 5 times, and the engine start sequence will begin.

Press and for a short duration to deactivate Timed Auto Start. (If
is displayed on the LCD pager, first press , then press and .)
This feature makes brief stops more convenient by allowing you to remove
your key from the ignition without shutting off the engine. You can exit the
vehicle with your keys and then arm the security system with your pager or
transmitter while the engine continues to run.
There are 2 easy steps to activate Keyless Idling:
(1) While the engine is running, press the button for more than 2 sec.
(2) Remove key from ignition.
If you completed the procedure properly, the engine will still be running after
you remove the ignition key. If you then exit the vehicle and press the but-
ton, the 825K will arm (bypassing the sensor and IGN inputs), and the engine
will run for the preset duration. When the preset time is exceeded (the default
is 10 minutes), the 825K will automatically shutdown the engine.
If you return to the vehicle before the preset engine run time expires, you can
have the engine continue to run as normal simply by turning on the ignition
with your key. The engine will shutdown when you turn off the ignition.
Keyless Idling
For turbo-powered vehicles, the 825K can be programmed to keep the engine
running for short period of time after your remove your ignition key. This
feature is useful for cooling turbo engines in many sports cars, eliminating
potential damage due to heat build-up. Turbo Timer is set to OFF by default.
You may program a run time of 30, 60 or 300 seconds. See page 12, line 15.
Turbo Timer
Press on the LCD pager to view the temperature inside the vehicle and
check system status — the pager will play a melody and update icon informa-
tion. Temperature will display in degrees Celsius (°C) unless programmed to
display degrees Fahrenheit (°F) — see page 12, line 16. Cabin temperature
may display as “LO” or “HI” on the LCD pager if temp. goes outside –5~60°C.
Vehicle Cabin Temperature Check
SYSTEM OPERATION

SCIBORG 825K OWNER’S GUIDE

While the 825K is disarmed, you can automatically pop your trunk lid (if so
installed) by pressing the button for more than 2 seconds. Hazard/parking
lights will flash 3 times, and the LCD pager will beep 3 times. The icon
will appear on the pager when the trunk finally opens.
While the 825K is armed, you can still pop the trunk — the sensor and trunk
inputs will be bypassed and the trunk will then open. To re-enable the sensor
input, press the and buttons until you hear 1 siren chirp.
Remote Trunk Release (CHANNEL#1)
The 825K can be installed to control a variety of functions in your vehicle from
the convenience of your transmitter or pager—such as the headlights, power
antenna, stereo system, neon illumination strips, power seats, etc. See line 4
on page 12 for details on the four output settings available.
To activate Channel#2, simply press and hold the button for more than
2 seconds. The siren will chirp once and the hazard/parking lights will flash
once when the output is initiated. The LCD pager will produce 1 beep after
you release the button. Channel#2 may be used in either armed or dis-
armed modes.
Programmable CHANNEL#2 Output
If you do not intend to use the “2-step Door Unlock” feature (see page 4), the
825K can be programmed to produce a Channel#3 output to control a variety
of vehicle functions. See page 12, line 5 for the four output settings avail-
able.
To activate Channel#3, press the button for more than 2 seconds. The
siren will chirp three times and hazard/parking lights will flash three times
when the output is initiated. The LCD pager will produce 3 beeps after you
release the button. Channel#3 may be used in either armed or disarmed
modes.
Programmable CHANNEL#3 Output
Your 825K system can silently alert you to threats made against your vehicle
without blasting the siren. Simply press the button to mute the siren—
the 825K will automatically arm if you activate Stealth Alert while disarmed.

Car Locator Function
If you find that the external shock sensor is causing false alarms when you
park near busy train stations, truck stops or construction sites, you can con-
veniently bypass the sensor input from your transmitter or pager. Simply
press the and buttons for a short duration after arming. (If you press
these buttons while disarmed, the system will then arm with the sensor input
bypassed.) In Sensor Bypass mode, the LCD pager will display the icon
(with flashing on and off) and play a melody, and the siren will chirp
twice. Press and again for a long duration to disable Sensor Bypass.
Noise Pollution Attenuator.The 825K will automatically bypass the sensor
input once it has triggered the siren 8 times (i.e., eight total Warning and/or
Full siren triggers). Door, trunk, hood, brake and ignition trigger zones will
remain active during the Sensor Bypass.
TIP: Pressing and for more than 2 seconds will turn off the Noise Pol-
lution Attenuator until you disarm and arm again.
Remote Sensor Bypass
Sensor Input Triggers.If the external shock sensor detects a light impact
to the vehicle while the system is armed, the siren will produce 5 Warning
Chirps and the hazard/parking lights will flash 6 times. The LCD pager will
display a flashing icon and play a melody. When heavy impacts are de-
tected, the siren will blast and lights will flash for 15 seconds. The LCD
pager will play a siren sound and display the icon.
Other Trigger Zones.If the 825K is triggered by a door, the trunk, the hood,
the brake or the ignition switch, the siren will blast and lights will flash for
30 seconds. The LCD pager will display an icon for the zone that caused the
trigger and will play a siren melody for 20 seconds.
Warning Chirps & Siren Triggering

NOTE: In the event the ignition switch triggers the 825K, the siren will blast
for 30 seconds and then stop for 7 seconds. If the ignition switch is still on,
the siren will go off for another 30 seconds. This cycle will repeat until the
ignition switch is turned off. For all other zones (trunk, hood, door, brake),
the siren will sound for 30 seconds and the triggering zone will be bypassed.
The bypassed zone will be re-enabled after it has been closed/secured, and the
siren will then chirp once and the LCD pager will beep once.
Secure Disarm.If you press the button while the siren is going off, the
siren will stop but the system will remain armed. Press the button again
to disarm the system.
Whenever you are in an emergency situation where you need to alert others
for help, simply press the and buttons at the same time. The system
will lock and arm, and the siren will go off and lights will flash for 50 seconds.
Pressing the button any time during the 50 seconds will stop the siren.
Panic Mode
This feature protects your vehicle in the event a thief stops you while driving.
To activate, press and hold the and buttons for more than 2 seconds
or press the Anti-Carjack Switch.
When active, the LCD pager will display a flashing icon, and the starter
circuit will be immobilized. Thirty seconds later, after the thief has driven
a safe distance away from you, the siren will go off for 50 seconds while the
Hazard/Parking lights flash. Lights will continue to flash for 30 seconds after
the siren stops, and then the siren will blast again. This cycle will repeat until
Anti-Carjack Mode is deactivated. Even if the thief stops to disable the siren,
the engine will not start due to the immobilizer.
To deactivate Anti-Carjack Mode, press the button and the system will
disarm.
Anti-Carjack Mode

Default settings shown
above in: bold text

(1) Determines how long the 825K runs the engine before shutting it down.
(2) Engine auto starts at selected temperature — runtime determined by (1).
(3) Remote Start engine crank duration. If engine fails to start, the system
will automatically extend the preset crank duration and try again,
up to 3 more times. The 825K will stop the remote start sequence after the
4th failure.
NOTE: Set to “3.0s” if GRY/BLK wire connected to vehicle’s tachometer.
(4) Channel #2 output (long press on button):
Press ...... outputs as long as the button is pressed
IGN ......... IGN On = no output, IGN Off = output
30s .......... outputs for 30sec then stops
On/Off .... press to start output and press again to stop
(5) Channel #3 output (long press on button):
0.8s ......... outputs for 0.8sec then stops
10s .......... outputs for 10sec then stops
30s .......... outputs for 30sec then stops
On/Off .... press to start output and press again to stop
(6) Changes the tone of the siren chirp.
(7) Allows you to program the TACH input wire, which is used to detect
the engine running. The default Noise & TACH setting is suitable for
most vehicles. It will use the analog TACH input signal if the TACH
wire is connected, or it will sense battery voltage fluctuations if TACH
is not connected. TACH Only does not look at voltage fluctuations.
TACH Learn allows you to learn your vehicle’s TACH signal if the first
two settings fail. OIL Lamp should be selected when connecting to the
oil sensor dash panel lamp or to the L-terminal alternator lamp.
(8) Select whether or not to feed (+)12v to IG2 during remote start crank-
ing, and select 2sec for gas vehicles or 10sec for diesel.
(9) Choose the lock/unlock duration that is most compatible with your ve-
hicle. Note that the “Double” setting sends two unlock pulses of 0.8sec
duration each and one lock pulse of 3.6sec duration.

SYSTEM OPERATION
(10) Choice of 2-Step Door Lock (unlock driver’s door only or unlock all the
doors) or CH#3 output, either with or without Automatic Starter Kill
(ASK). NOTE: The Status LED lights solid red when ASK is activated.
(11) Automatically locks/unlocks doors based on IGN position:
Off ...................... feature disabled
Unlock Only ..... unlocks doors immediately after IGN turned off
10s ...................... locks 10sec after IGN turned on, unlocks when off
30s ...................... locks 30sec after IGN turned on, unlocks when off
(12) Choice of Auto Rearm or Auto Arm or both. See page 3 for details.
(13) Silent: If a door is open when arming, the door and shock sensor inputs
will be silently bypassed (no chirps) 3 seconds later. (Sensor input by-
passed so siren won’t be triggered when door closes.) Door will
automatically be enabled when closed, and siren will chirp once—shock
sensor will remain bypassed. Re-enable shock sensor by pressing &
buttons at the same time for more than 2 seconds (and then release)
— siren will chirp once and LCD pager will play a melody.
3sec: Same operation as “Silent” except chirps are enabled during bypass:
if door is open for more than 3sec. after arming, siren will chirp 4 times.
BLK/WHT Output: This wire can disable factory alarms for remote
start. This BLK/WHT wire always sends a 200msec. (–) GND pulse when
the remote start sequence begins, regardless of the program setting; and
if the first crank attempt doesn’t start the engine, the BLK/WHT wire will
feed (–) GND continuously until remote start shuts down. The “ON”
setting means the BLK/WHT wire will send (–) GND continuously while
the system is armed.
(14) Controls how long the dome light should stay on after system is disarmed.
Dome light automatically turns off when IGN is turned on.
(15) Determines how long the engine should continue to run after IGN key is
turned off. The Status LED will turn red while the Turbo Timer feature is
active, and the vehicle lights will flash. Note that if the engine stalls during
a Turbo Timer operation, the vehicle light flash will stop, but the Status
LED will remain red—also, the remote start system and Program Switch
feature selection will be disabled until the Turbo Timer sequence is fini-
shed and the LED turns off.
(16) Use the Continuous setting for most sirens, and use Pulsed if connect-
ed to the vehicle’s horn. Select the temperature system (°C or °F) that
you want to have displayed on the LCD pager.

If the icon appears on the LCD pager, it is time to replace the battery. The
battery icon may flash and the pager may beep 6 times when the battery is just
about to die. Replace the battery as soon as possible with a fresh (+)1.5v AAA
Alkaline. (You can use non-Alkaline batteries, but the life will be shorter.)
Follow this procedure every time you replace the battery, to ensure
proper operation of your pager:
(1) Remove the cover and take out the old battery.
(2) Press the button for 2 seconds to clean out the pager memory.
(3) Insert the new battery and replace the cover.
(4) Press the button again to initiate communication.
TIP: If after following the above battery replacement procedure the pager
makes odd sounds or the icons flash on the LCD screen in an unusual manner,
press and hold down the button while you insert the battery.

NOTE: If you see LED ashing patterns other than those listed in the table
above, or if you are experiencing any unusual or unexpected activity by your
825K system, resetting the program memory will resolve the problem in most
cases. To do this, refer to the instructions given on page 11. Before resetting
the 825K, be sure to note all custom settings your dealer may have pro-
grammed for you (see pg. 12). Resetting your 825K without restoring your
custom settings may result in undesirable operation of your 825K system.
