Welcome to the convenience and protection offered by your
Executive Model ONE UltiMate vehicle security system. UltiMate
is designed and manufactured by Omega Research and Develop-
ment, a world leader in vehicle convenience and security since
1975. Your system offers easy, carefree operation, and the
modular design allows its many impressive features to be custom-
izedtosuityourneeds. Thissophisticated,state-of-the-artproduct
deterstheftofyourvehicle,anditscontents. ExecutiveModelONE
systems are designed for professional installation, and are avail-
able only through new car retail outlets and selected mobile
electronics specialist dealers.
Please note that this guide is written to reflect:
- That a power doorlock interface is installed with your system
(the UltiMate also operates your power doorlocks). The type
ofinterfacemay varyfromonevehicletotheother,andinsome
cases may involve optional components.
- Thatthevehicle'sexistinghornisusedforthesystem’saudible
output; an optional electronic siren is also available.
- That the Programmable Features are in the default settings;
the operations of these features are also explained.
YourUltiMatesystemhasthreeprincipalusercomponents: the
red LED Status Light, the Valet Switch, and the Remote Transmit-
ter.
TheRedLEDStatusLight:Informsyouataglancewhichofthe
different conditions the security system is in, and also serves as a
visual deterrent to break-ins and theft.
TheValet Switch: Is used to access Valet Mode, which allows
the operator to suspend some of the security system's normal
functions for as long as desired. The Valet Switch may also be
used, instead of the remote transmitter, to override an armed and
activatedsystem. TheValetSwitchisalsousedwhenprogramming

available for use when the previous feature is programmed for the
"PulsedHorn"setting.
#23 Total Closure Lock Output: Default OFF. If the vehicle is
has an existing total closure feature, this programmable feature al-
lows the installer the option of interfacing the UltiMate to operate it.
Typically, this option would close all windows and the sunroof, in
additiontolockingthedoors,when arming the system. Consult with
the installer on this option, as the vehicle must already be properly
equippedtoutilizethisfeature.

Arming the System
"Arming" the UltiMate locks the vehicle’s doors and places the
security system into a state in which the vehicle is monitored for
intrusion attempts. There are two different methods of arming the
system:"ActiveArming”bydeliberateuseoftheremotetransmitter,
orautomatically, which is "Passive Arming” (also called “LastDoor
Arming”), which can be enabled or disabled.
The Remote Transmitter: Each system is capable of being
operated by up to four different remote transmitters. The remote
transmitterhasfourpush-button switches,eachbeinglabeledwith
an icon as to function. The basic daily use operations are:
Pressing the PANIC
button for 3 seconds will
activate the system, flashing
thelightsandsoundingthehorn;
a further press of this button will
stop this “panic” operation. If
desired, this button can be
programmed to operate an
additionaloptionalremotefunction
instead of panic.
Pressing and releasing
the LOCK button arms
the security sys-
tem and locks
the doors.
Pressing and releasing the
UNLOCK button disarms the
systemandunlocksthedoors.
Theunlockoperationmay
be configured so that
pressing the unlock
button once disarms
the system and un-
locks only the driver's
door, and pressing a
second time will then

is off there are still two confirmation chirps, but no light illumination.
#18 Doorlock Pulse Time .8 or 3 Seconds: Default .8 Second.
Certain vehicle's power door locking systems require a longer out-
put pulse to operate properly. This feature allows the installer the
flexibilitytoaccommodatesuchsystems. Whenprogramming,press-
ingtheremote transmitter'sUNLOCKbuttonsets the3second pulse,
and pressing the LOCK button sets it to .8.
#19 Double Unlock Pulse: Default OFF. This is another power
doorlock-relatedfeatureprovided fortheinstaller'suse. Some newer
vehiclesrequireadoublepulsetoremotelyunlockthedoorsand/or

#20 3 or 45 Second Arming Delay: Default 3 Seconds. Some
installationsituationsrequireanextraamountof time for the system
tobecomefullyarmed.Where needed, thisfeaturemaybechanged
to delay the full arming of the system to 45 seconds. Please note
when the 45 second arming delay is used, it adds 45 seconds to all
threeformsofarming:activearmingfromthetransmitter,LastDoor
Arming, and Automatic Rearming. When programming, pressing
theremotetransmitter'sLOCKbuttonsetsthe3secondarmingde-
lay, and pressing the UNLOCK button sets the 45 second delay.
#21 Pulsed Horn or Steady Siren Output: Default Pulsed Horn.
This feature allows the choice of using an optional electronic siren
for the audible output of the security system instead of the vehicle's
horn. When programmed for use with a vehicular horn, this output

programmedforsirenuse,theoutputissteadyandcontinuous.When
programming,pressingthe transmitter'sLOCKbutton setsthepulsed

#22 Horn Chirp Level: Default 2. If the system is configured to
use the vehicle's horn, this feature allows an adjustment in the con-
firmation chirp volume. When programming, press the remote
transmitter's LOCK button for level 1 (the quietest), press the UN-
LOCK button for level 2, press the OPTION button for level 3, or

Active Arming: The UltiMate can always be armed with the
remote transmitter, provided the ignition switch is off and the
system is not in Valet Mode. Simply press the transmitter LOCK
button once. The doors will lock, the parking lights will flash once
(the UltraOne package will also flash the interior light once), the
vehicle's horn will chirp once, the LED Status Light will begin
flashing, and the starter interrupt circuit engages to prevent any
attempt to start the vehicle. Three seconds after the horn chirp the
system becomes fully armed.
Silent Arming If desired the system may be armed, provided
it is disarmed, without the normal confirmation horn chirp by
pressing and releasing the transmitter's OPTION button twice
within 3 seconds.
Arming Bypass When arming the system from the remote
transmitter,shouldanyprotectedcircuit(exceptforthedoors)bein
aviolatedstate,thehornwillchirpthreetimesandtheparkinglights
will flash three times. When Arming Bypass occurs, protection for
theaffectedcircuitonlywillbetemporarilybypassed. Forexample,
should the trunk be left open, you can still actively arm the system,
but it will have the three chirp and three flash indication that a
protected circuit is not secure. Once the system has armed, the
bypassed circuit will automatically be reinstated for protection
should it become non-violated (i.e.- if the trunk is closed). When a
circuit is in a bypassed state, all other non-violated monitoring
circuits, such as doors or hood, will be protected. The door
protection circuit also has the Arming Bypass feature, but with the
arming indication of one chirp and one light flash.
SilentArmingandArmingBypassareoperationsonlyassociated
with Active Arming the system, and not Passive Arming.
PassiveArmingwithLastDoorArming: TheUltiMatecanbe
programmedtoarmitselfautomaticallywhenthevehicle'slastdoor
is closed; this is the “Last Door Arming” feature. If this feature is
programmed to operate, the moment the last open door is closed
thehorn will chirp once and the lights will flash once toconfirmthat
beforeturningtheignition off, thedoorswillnotautomaticallyunlock.
#13 Confirmation Chirps: Default ON. This feature removes the
audible arming and disarming confirmation horn chirps (or option-
ally,sirenchirps). Thisfeatureis the "full time"removaloftheconfir-
mationchirps;otherwisetemporaryonetime silent operationmaybe
achieved when desired by pressing and releasing the transmitter's
OPTIONbuttontwicewhenarming or disarmingthesystem. Evenif
this feature is used to remove the confirmation chirps, the audible
Automatic Transmitter Verificationfeature will still operate as de-
scribed on pages 16-17.
#14 Confirmation Chirps While In Valet Mode: Default OFF.
While the system is in the valet mode, the transmitter will still re-
motely lock and unlock the vehicle's doors. This feature adds the
confirmation horn chirps if the transmitter is used to lock or unlock
the doors while the system is in valet mode.
#15 Activated Alarm Cycle 60 or 30 Seconds: Default 60 Sec-
onds. Thisfeatureoffersachoiceofactivatedalarmdurations. When
programming, pressing the remote transmitter's LOCK button sets
the cycle at 60 seconds, and pressing the UNLOCK button sets the
30secondtime.
#16 Lights On Upon Disarm: Default ON. This feature turns on
the parking lights (and interior lights with the UltraOne) for 30 sec-
onds after the two flashes upon disarming the system. The longer
timeallowsinspection oftheareaaround andinsidethe vehiclewhen
approaching in the dark. When programming, pressing the remote
transmitter's LOCK button sets the lights being on for 30 seconds,
andpressingtheUNLOCKbuttonconfiguresthesystem toonlyflash

#17 Disarm Alarm Upon Trunk Release: Default ON. This Fea-
ture automatically disarms the system when the OPTION button is
pressedtooperatetheOptionOutput(trunkrelease). Ifthisfeature
is turned off, the trunk release will still operate, but the system will
remainarmed. Whenthisfeatureison, activating the trunk release

has begun.
This arming sequence lasts 30 seconds, and is indicated by a
fast-flashing LED Status Light. Thirty seconds after the last door
was closed, the horn will chirp again, and the lights will flash once
again, confirming completion of the Last Door Arming sequence.
When this occurs the LED Status Light changes to flashing slowly,
andthesystemisfullyarmedthreesecondslater. Ifapointofentry
is reopened before the single chirp and light flash occurs at 30
seconds, the Last Door Arming sequence stops, but will start over
againwhentheopenedpointofentryisclosedagain. Totemporarily
prevent the system from Last Door Arming (such as while vehicle
is being refueled), you should put the system into Valet Mode or
leave the vehicle's door open (in most cases, turning on the dome
light will suffice). One important aspect of the Last Door Arming's
operation is to remember that the ignition switch has to be on,
turnedoff,andthenthe vehicledoorclosedtoinitiatetheLastDoor
Arming. Openingandclosinga door withoutfirstturningonand off
the ignition switch will not initiate the Last Door Arming.
A separate programmable feature may be utilized to have the
doors automatically lock when the 30 second horn chirp and light
flash occurs. The previously mentioned Arming Bypass feature
cannot operate with Last Door Arming; it only works when actively
arming the system from the transmitter because all protected
entriesmustbeclosedtoinitiateLastDoor Arming. Ofcourse,you

time during the 30 second Last Door Arming sequence. The Last
DoorArmingfeatureoffersahighlevelofsecurity,sinceyoudonot

The Armed System
When the UltiMate is armed, the LED Status Light flashes
continuously in a slow and steady manner. In this state, any
violationofaprotectedentryoroptionalsensordevicewillinstantly
isturned"on".
#10 Ignition Off Unlock #1: Default ON. This feature automati-
cally unlocks doors instantly when the ignition switch is turned off.
Please note that the exact operating parameters of this feature de-
pendsupontheinstallationconfiguration of the UltiMatesystemand
your vehicle's power door lock system. The system is capable of
being configured to unlock only the driver's door upon disarming.
Then,ifdesired,pressingtheUNLOCKbuttonagainanytimethere-
after(unlessthe systemisarmedagainortheignitionswitchisturned
on) will unlock all of the doors. Therefore, this programmable fea-
ture can operate one of two ways: First, if all of the doors unlock
upon disarming the system with the transmitter, this feature will un-
lock all of the doors when the ignition is turned off. Second, if your
vehicle is configured to unlock the driver's door only upon disarm-
ing, this feature will unlock only that door upon turning the ignition
off. If not equipped, consult with the installer as to the feasibility of
addingthedriver'sdooronlyunlock configuration to your vehicle,as
power door locking systems differ in compatibility to this feature. If
the second configuration discussed above is present, the next fea-
ture allows the option of unlocking of all of the doors when the igni-
tion is turned off.
#11 Ignition Off Unlock #2: Default ON. As discussed in the pre-
vious feature, your security system is capable of a second door un-
lock output. If your system is configured to unlock only the driver's
door upon disarming with the transmitter, this feature may be uti-
lized. Thisfeature,whenactivated,willunlockallofthedoors,after
the driver's door, when the ignition switch is turned off.
#12 Open Door Bypass To Previous Three Features: Default
ON. Thisfeatureonlyoperatesinconjunctionwiththe previousthree
feature's ignition-activated door locking operations. Programming
thisfeatureon,alongwiththe any of the previousthreefeatures,will
cancel any automatic doorlock operations associated with the igni-
tion ignition switch if a door is open at the time the ignition switch is
turned on or off. For example, if the system is programmed to un-
lock the doors when the ignition is turned off, if a door is opened

activate, or "trigger" the system. If the system is activated:
- Thevehicle'shorn(ortheUltraOnepackage’soptionalelectronic
siren) will sound. The horn will repeatedly sound for one
second, then pause for one second. This audible output will
sound for the duration of the activated cycle. The optional
electronic siren, used with the UltraOne package, features
changing basetones,inadditiontoapiercingvariableovertone;
this is the exclusive patented Psycho Siren.
- The parking lights will flash on and off repeatedly. The
UltraOne package will also include flashing the interior lights.
- The doors will relock. If opened, relocking will occur when the
door is closed.
The horn will sound and lights will flash for 60 seconds (30
seconds is optional), unless you disarm the system using the
remotetransmitterbypressingtheUNLOCKbutton. Ifneeded,the
Valet Switch and ignition key may be used to disarm the system
(Selectable Code Override; pages 10-12). Please note that while
thesystemisactivated, pressingthetransmitter’sUNLOCK button
will only disarm the system, and not unlock the doors. In this
situation, to then unlock the doors, simply press the UNLOCK
button again to unlock the doors. This is Safety Disarm.
When the system has activated, if all protected entries are
secure at the end of 60 seconds, the system will stop itself and
rearm automatically to detect another entry attempt. If there is a
protected entry still open, or a sensor still in a violated state at the
end of 60 seconds, the system will reactivate for two more 60
second cycles. If this occurs, the system will still stop itself after a
total of 3 minutes and rearm automatically, and ignore the open
entry or violated sensor circuit while protecting the other circuits.
Should the violated entry be closed or the sensor return to normal,
protection will be reinstated for the affected circuit.
After the security system is activated and it resets itself, the
confirmation upon disarming will no longer be the normal two horn
chirps, and the lights flashing twice then staying on. Instead, the
system will have 4 horn chirps and the lights will flash four times
arming,openingadoorwillcompletely cancel Automatic Rearming
if Last Door Arming is off, and only temporarily suspend it while the
door is open if Last Door Arming is turned on.
#4 Starter Interrupt Circuit: Default ON. This feature controls
thestarterinterruptcircuit. Programmingthisfeatureoffcompletely

#5 Automatic Starter Interrupt: Default OFF. Programmingthis
feature "on" will cause the starter interrupt circuit to automatically
engage90secondsafter the ignitionswitchisturnedoff,and also90
seconds after disarming unless the ignition switch is turned on dur-
ing the 90 second period. This feature will engage the starter inter-
rupt circuit independently of all other system functions, and the en-
gagement of starter interrupt will occur even if the system is in an
otherwise disarmed state. Once the starter interrupt output is acti-
vated by this feature, the system must be disarmed with the trans-
mitter,orplacedintovaletmode,todisengageitinordertostartthe
vehicle.
#6 Ignition Activated Override: Default OFF. This feature al-
lows an activated system to be overridden and disarmed by simply
turningtheignitionswitchonwithin10secondsof the system’s acti-
vation. After 10 seconds, the Selectable Code Override only can
disarm the system in place of the transmitter.
#7 Doors Lock With Last Door Arming: Default OFF. This fea-
ture adds the locking of the doors to feature #2. When the system
automaticallyarms30seconds after thevehicle'slastdooris closed,
the doors will also lock.
#8 Doors Lock With Automatic Rearming: Default OFF. This
feature adds the locking of the doors to feature #3. If the system is

releasing the transmitter's OPTION button twice within 3 seconds.
Easy ValetTM :This feature is used to prevent the system from
becoming armed, and can be utilized anytime the security system
is in the disarmed state. Easy ValetTM is unique because other
security systems require the ignition switch to be on to enter Valet
Mode, but with the UltiMate, the ignition can be either on or off, so
the key is not required. Whenever the security system is

Descriptionofeachprogrammablefeature:
#1 Selectable Code Override: Default 1 & 0. The ValetSwitchis
an important part of your UltiMate system; it allows an emergency
overridetodisarmthesystem in placeoftheremotetransmitter,and
it is crucial to the programming of transmitters and features. Your
UltiMate's advanced design includes this programmable feature,
whichallowsyoutoconfiguretheemergencyoverrideoperationfor
themostconvenientease ofuse,orforpersonally-customized maxi-
mumsecurity.
Foramoresecureemergencyoverridedisarmingofthe system,
the vehicle owner may opt for two separate stages of Valet Switch
presses,andthenumberof ValetSwitchpresses,from1to9presses,
for each of these stages, in order to successfully perform an emer-
gencyoverride.
As an illustration of this feature, with the default setting of "one
and no presses", to disarm the system without the transmitter, after
entering the vehicle, the ignition switch is turned on, and the Valet
Switch is pressed once, at which time the system will instantly dis-
arm. With a custom-programmed Selectable Code Override of, for
example, "3 and 9 presses", upon entering the vehicle and turning
the ignition on, the Valet Switch must be pressed three times. This
causestheaudibleoutput(i.e.-hornorsiren)tostopsoundingafter
a moment and emit one chirp. The audible output then resumes,
andthe"stage2"entry,ninepressesmustbeentered, whichachieves
an override and disarms the system. However, if either entry is in-
correct, the system will not disarm. Another override attempt may
be made, but two consecutive incorrect entries will cause the sys-
tem to ignore any further attempts for two minutes. If a customized

to enter the Valet Mode. The system will confirm it has entered
Valet Mode with two horn chirps, two light flashes and the LED
Status Light will illuminate and stay on constantly. The system will
remain in Valet Mode until it is removed from such (below),
regardless of the ignition is turned on or off or even if the vehicle’s
battery is disconnected and reconnected.
While in the Valet Mode, the remote transmitters can still

(if equipped). Valet Mode prevents the system's alarm functions
from being armed; using the transmitter to lock the doors will not
arm the system, nor will it engage the starter interrupt. When the
transmitter is used to lock and unlock the doors when the system
is in Valet Mode, there will be light flash confirmations, but no
audible chirps unless the system is programmed to do so. In
additionto the constantly illuminated LED Status Light, the system
will chirp the horn once as a reminder of Valet Mode when the
ignitionswitch is turned off. The doors will lock when the ignition is
turned on and unlock when it is turned off', if the system is
programmed to do so.

the feature to be changed before entering Features Programming
Mode. As each feature is programmed, change its mark to "X".
Before attempting feature programming, please carefully read
the following programming procedure instructions, and the indi-
vidual feature descriptions on the following pages to become
familiar with the features.
ToaccesstheFeaturesProgrammingMode,followthesesteps:
Step 1 - Within 5 seconds of turning the ignition "off", press and
release the Valet Switch 5 times. The system will respond by
chirping, then briefly sounding the horn, and the LED Status
Light will start rapidly flashing.
Step 2 - Within 10 seconds access the desired feature by press-
ing the Valet Switch the same number of times that equal to
feature number. When the feature is selected, the LED Status
Light will change from rapidly flashing to flashing the same
number as the feature, between pauses.
Step 3 - Within 10 seconds change the chosen feature. Press the
transmitter's LOCK button to turn the feature "on", or press the
UNLOCK button to turn the feature "off". Turning the feature
"on" is indicated by one horn chirp; turning the feature "off" is
indicated by two horn chirps. Also, turning a feature "on" will
cause the LED Status Light to illuminate steady, while turning
the feature "off" will cause the LED Status Light to go out.
For example, to utilize the optional siren, the audible output must
be changed from pulsed to steady. This is the twenty-first feature on
the list, and therefore to access it, you must press the Valet Switch 21
times. The system will acknowledge the Valet Switch entry by chirping
the horn a like number of times equal to the Valet Switch presses; in
this case 21 chirps will indicate access to the twenty-first feature.

How to Disarm the System Without Using the Transmitter
Step 1 - While the system in the armed condition, enter via
the driver's door. Be aware that the system will activate
when the door is opened, sounding the horn, flashing the
lights, and locking the doors if the door entered is closed
again before disarming the system.
Step 2 - Using your key, turn the ignition on. The following
step must be performed within the next 10 seconds.
Step 3 - Press and release the Valet Switch equal to the
number programmed for stage #1; the factory setting is
one. If the default setting of 1 and 0 presses is retained,
press and release the Valet Switch once and the system
will instantly disarm, as indicated by two horn chirps.
Valet Switch. This programmable feature, which is explained in
detail on pages 20-21, allows you to further enhance the
effectiveness of your security system by "hardening" its resistance
to being defeated. The factory-set default for Selectable Code
Override is one press at stage 1, and NO press at stage 2; this
is the most convenient and user-friendly setting. Therefore, the
following step-by-step instructions reflects first the default setting,
and then the following text continues to explain the custom-
programmed setting.
Ifstage#2presses have beenprogrammed,thesystemwill not
disarm, but pause and chirp the horn before continuing to sound.

Once the system is disarmed, if Valet Mode is desired, use the
Easy ValetTM procedure to place the system into Valet Mode.
Remember, if the Selectable Code Override factory setting of
"stage #1, one Valet Switch press and stage #2, no Valet Switch
press" is present, simply pressing the Valet Switch once within 10
seconds of turning the ignition switch on will override and disarm
the system.
Your UltiMate system includes a remote Panic feature. In the
eventofattackorassault,oranytimeyoufeelthreatenedorinneed
of assistance, you can use your remote transmitter to activate this
feature. Thisfeatureoperatesregardlessofthesystem'sstatus,or
regardless of the ignition switch being on or off.
There are three forms of remote Panic operation:
- Pressing and holding the PANIC button for 3 seconds will
activate the Panic feature, sounding the horn, and flashing the
lights. Activating it with the PANIC button does not affect the
doorlocks- the system will only sound the horn and flash the
lights. Remote Panic can also be activated by pressing and
holding the LOCK or UNLOCK buttons.
- Pressing and holding the LOCK button will also activate the
Panic feature, but locking the doors in the process.
- Pressing and holding the UNLOCK button will also activate the
Panic feature, but unlocking the doors in the process.
Once remote Panic is activated, after 60 seconds, the system
will automatically stop and reset. If you wish to stop the Panic

Programmable Features
Your UltiMate vehicle security system has thirty programmable
features. Manyoftheseprogrammablefeaturesdirectlyaffecthow

the user as they allow for a wide range of customizing the system
to the user’s needs and desires. The other few programmable
features are more related to the various installation parameters
presentedbythewiderangeofvehicles;andtheirprimarypurpose
is to the installer, providing him efficient flexibility in properly
incorporating the UltiMate system into a specific vehicle applica-
tion.

tant information describing further operations. Following is a list of
the programmable features, programming instructions, and then a
detailed description of each of the thirty programmable features.
For 48 hours after transmitters have been program-
med to operate the system, every time the ignition
switch is turned on, the horn will rapidly chirp for
two seconds and the LED Status Light will flash
the number of transmitters between pauses for 90
seconds. This is "Unauthorized Transmitter Alert".
Page - 17

The LED Status Light indicates several system conditions;
these are categorized into three areas: System Status, Automatic
Transmitter VerificationTM (ATV), and Zone Violation.
System Status: The LED Status Light is a visual indicator of
whatstatethesecuritysystemisinatany given time. It is normally
positionedinalocationthatiseasilyobservedby the driver. There
are four possible status conditions that the system can be in, as
reflected by the LED status light:

Everytimetheignitionswitch isturnedon,theLEDStatus Light
shows how many operable transmitters by flashing the number,
between pauses. For example: two flashes and a pause indicate
that only two transmitters are coded to operate your system. This
display occurs for 10 seconds every time the ignition switch is
turnedon. Iftransmittershavebeenprogrammedwithinthelast48
hours, every time the ignition is turned on the LED Status Light
display extends to 90 seconds, and the horn will rapidly chirp for 2
seconds.

in the vehicle, and follow this procedure:
Step 1 - Turn the vehicle’s ignition on. Within 7 seconds press
the Valet Switch 5 times. The system will respond by briefly
sounding the horn once.
Step 2 - Within 7 seconds press the OPTION button on the first
transmitter to programmed. The system will respond with a
horn chirp, which confirms that the transmitter has been
programmed into the system.
Repeat Step 2 for each transmitter which is to operate the system.
When any transmitter is programmed, even one which already
operates the system, all previously known transmitters will be
erased from operating your system as a security measure. There-
fore, when programming an additional or replacement transmitter
into the system, all of the transmitters which are to operate the
system must be programmed at the same time.
Turning the ignition switch "off", or 15 seconds of no program-
mingactivity,willcausethesystemto exit the transmitter program-
ming mode, which the system will indicate by briefly sounding the

chirp for two seconds and the LED status light will flash for 90
seconds. This exclusive Unauthorized Transmitter Alert protects
your system from unauthorized transmitters being added to it.
Zone Violation: If the system is activated, the LED status light
will start to flash and pause the following coded sequences to
indicate which protected circuit caused the activation. This will be
seen at all times, until the ignition switch is turned "on", which will

Option Output ("Trunk Release")
and Additional Output
Your UltiMate system has to two additional outputs, which can
offer two additional remote control operations beyond those al-
readydescribed.Thefirstoftheseoutputs,the"Option Output" is
most commonly used for remote trunk release (this output is
programmabletodisarmthesystemwhenitisutilized). Thisoutput
is activated by pressing and holding the transmitter's OPTION
button for two seconds, except when the ignition switch is on.
However, this output may be operated when the ignition switch is
on, provided that the vehicle has a door open. The Option Output
is also operable while the system is in Valet Mode.
If the OPTION button is pressed for 2.5 seconds and then
released, the output will be momentary. If the OPTION button is
held depressed, the output will remain for as long as the button is
held, until the transmitter's battery saver feature engages. The
extended output operation is useful for custom applications.

The second of these additional outputs is the Additional
Output, which is activated by simultaneously pressing the
transmitter's LOCK and UNLOCK buttons. This output, like the
OptionOutput,canalsobeactivatedforextendedperiodsifthetwo
transmitter buttons are held pressed. This output is ideal for an
optional remote starting unit. The Additional Output cannot be
programmedtodisarmthesystem. Ifdesired,theAdditionalOutput
can be operated by the PANIC button instead of the LOCK and
UNLOCK buttons; this is a programmable feature, which is ex-
plained on page 27.
Your UltiMate system allows the addition of an optional shock
sensor to increase the effectiveness of your system when it is
armed. A light shock or impact to the vehicle will produce a
"Prewarn",whichchirpsthehornandlocksthedoors,withoutfully
