C. Emergency Override / Programming Button
1. Find a hidden (not plainly visible)
location underdash that is accessible
while sitting in the drivers seat. It
is suggested that the override
button be mounted in a different
location for each installation.
2. Drill a 5/16" mounting hole and
mount the disarm button.
3. Insert the BROWN disarm button
wires into cavities #2 & 13 of the
EVS 22-way connector. The
disarm button wires are
interchangeable.
D. Shock Sensor (Optional)
1. Find a mounting location for the
shock sensor.The sensor must
adhere to a surface (or wire
harness) under the instrument
panel that is in solid contact with
the vehicle chassis. The ignition
switch wiring harness is an
excellent choice. Be sure to mount
the shock sensor so that the L.E.D.
can be viewed when adjusting the
sensitivity.
2. Stick one of the supplied squares
of adhesive tape to the bottom of
the shock sensor case.Then
attach the sensor to mounting
surface. Use one of the supplied
long tie wraps to secure sensor
firmly in place.

Operation Troubleshooting Procedure
AFTERTHE SYSTEM HAS BEEN DISARMED, CHECKTHE FOLLOWING:
Engine will start Check connections
Transmitter range (attempt
operating system from 25-50 feet) Relocate antenna
Valet Mode (refer to Owner’s
Manual for valet mode operation) Review operation procedure
Headlamp Illumination (if equipped) Review operation procedure
ControlModuleMounting
After all electrical connections are complete, and the system operation has been
verified, use the supplied tie wraps to securely attach the control module to a solid
underdash wire loom or support bracket. Make sure that the module and wiring
harnesses do not in any way interfere with the brake, clutch, or the accelerator
pedals.
Shock Sensor Adjustment (Optional)
1. Close all doors and arm the system.
2. Moving around the vehicle, using an open palm slap various body panels on
the vehicle.
• A light to medium blow should cause the siren to emit a short chirp.
• A medium to heavy impact should trip a full alarm cycle.
3. Adjust the shock sensitivity up or down as need to achieve the desired setting.
4. Reassemble all interior components removed during the installation.
Mounting the Antenna
For optimum performance, the antenna must be mounted as high as possible in the
vehicle.
• Do not mount the antenna and/or module in an area which is totally enclosed
in metal. Keep the antenna element as straight as possible.
• Do not coil any of the remaining antenna cable. For best results, make sure
that the antenna cable is completely uncoiled.
• Due to the nature of the antenna, there will be nulls in RF reception around the
vehicle. By slightly moving the antenna element these RF nulls can be reduced
and/or shifted in a different direction.

C. Programming AdditionalTransmitters
Up to four transmitters can be programmed to
the system.
1. Open the driver’s door.
2. Turn the vehicle ignition to the ON position.
3. Press and hold the Emergency Override / Programming button in.
• After approximately 15 seconds, the siren will chirp 3 times.This indicates that
the system is in the Transmitter Programming Mode.
4. Release the Emergency Override / Programming button. Wait 5 seconds.
5. Press Button 1 on the new transmitter.The siren should chirp once.
6. Repeat step 5 for any additional transmitters.
7. Exit the Transmitter Programming Mode by turning the vehicle ignition off. Test all
remote transmitters to ensure that they work properly.
To delete a lost or stolen transmitter:
1. Follow steps 1-4 as described above.
2. Reprogram the remaining transmitters as described in step 5.
• If there is only one remaining transmitter, perform step 5 four times.
• If two remaining transmitters, perform step 5 twice for each transmitter.
D. Programming Selectable Options
1. Enter the Transmitter Programming Mode (steps 1-4 above).
2. Press and release Emergency Override / Programming Button once.
•
The siren will chirp three more times to indicate entry into the
Options Programming Mode.
3. Press Transmitter Button 1 to select Option 1.
4. Refer to the appropriate chart (next page) to change options.
