ABOUT YOUR NEW CRIME GUARD SYSTEM
Congratulations on your purchase of a new Crime Guard security and
remotestarting system. CrimeGuardsystems combinethebenefits ofeasy-
to-use convenience with “no nonsense” protection of person and property.
Please review this guide to become familiar with your Crime Guard vehicle
security and remote starting system. To operate your system, the three
principal components are first described: the Remote Control Transmitter,
the Status Indicator Light, and the Valet Switch.
The Remote Control Transmitter: Your system comes with two pre-
learned remote controls, or “transmitters”, and is capable of being operated
by as many as four transmitters. The transmitter has four buttons: one is
marked with a “lock” graphic, one is marked with an “unlock” graphic, and
the remaining two buttons are marked “II” and “III”.
Every transmitter has its own unique, invisible electronic “code”. Each
timethetransmitterisused,thiscoderandomlychanges,effectivelyprotecting
yoursystem against“code grabber”devices,like thoseused tocopycellular
phone security codes. Another exclusive patented feature, Automatic
Transmitter Verification (ATVTM), ensures that only your transmitters
operateyoursystem,andisexplained onpage23. Thesefeatures,andmany
others,ensurethatCrimeGuardsystemsarethemostsecurevehiclesecurity
systems available.
The Status Indicator Light: The multicolored Status Indicator Light
reports the status of the system at all times, and also serves as a visual
deterrenttobreak-insandtheft. Inaddition,theStatusIndicatorLight ispart
of the ATVTM visual display, and is also used for the Alarm Memory Recall
feature. Specificdescription oftheStatusIndicatorLightisonpages 20-21.
The Valet Switch: The Valet Switch has three main functions:
1- The Valet Switch can be used to turn off the security and/or starting
operation of the system, including the Last Door Arming feature (if
used). This is referred toas“placing thesystem intoEasyValet Mode”.
2- 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 is lost or becomes inoperable. This is
referred to as “performing an Emergency Override”.
3- The Valet Switch is used in the procedure of programming operational
features and also for encoding transmitters to the system.

USING YOUR CRIME GUARD SYSTEM
Yournew CrimeGuard securitysystem isdesigned todetertheftofboth
your vehicle and its contents. Arming the system turns on the protection
operation, disables the vehicle’s starter and locks the doors provided an
interface isinstalled. Once the systemis Armed,any intrusionattemptwill
Activate it, sounding the siren and flashing the lights to attract attention.
Disarming the system turns off the protection, allowing normal use of the
vehicle.
There are two methods of Arming the security system:
1- The first method is to use the transmitter, by pressing and releasing its
“Arm/Lock”button. ThesystemmustnotalreadybeinEasyValetMode
(page 18), and the vehicle’s ignition switch must be off. Each press of
the“Arm/Lock”buttonarmsthesystem,evenifitis armedtobeginwith.
2- The second method is Last Door Arming, which configures the system to
automatically arm every time you exit the vehicle. This method of
arming is programmable, and may be used or not used as desired.

Arming Bypass:
When arming the system using the transmitter, if any protected zone or
sensor circuit is in a violated condition, the affected zone or circuit will be
automatically bypassed. This is “Arming Bypass”, which allows the sys-
tem to still arm and protect the other normal, non-violated zones. In the
case of a bypassed zone or circuit, should the violated condition return to
normal, 5 seconds after becoming normal the system restores protection to
the previously bypassed zone or circuit.
If the hood and trunk zone, or sensor circuit is bypassed when the sys-
tem is armed, instead of the normal arming confirmation the siren will chirp
four times and the parking lights will flash four times to alert you. How-
ever, if a door zone is bypassed, the siren and light confirmation will be the
normal two chirps and flashes, as many vehicles are equipped with a de-
layed interior light illumination. In these vehicles, the interior light delay
would typically cause the system to indicate a bypass if the system is armed
during the delay. In these cases, the arming indication is normal, and the
door zone is protected by the system five seconds after the interior light
turns off.
Upon Arming:
• The siren will chirp twice (or four times if a zone is bypassed) unless
the silent arming procedure is followed.
• The parking lights will flash twice (or four times if a zone is bypassed).
• The doors will lock.*
• The starter interrupt will engage.
• The Status Indicator Light will begin to flash slowly in Red.
Three seconds after arming, the security system becomes fully armed, and
will activate to an alarm condition should an intrusion attempt be detected.
Further transmitter operations and options are discussed on page 13.
LAST DOOR ARMING BY EXITING THE CAR
Last Door Arming:
Last Door Arming is a programmable feature which configures the sys-
tem to arm itself without the need of a command from the transmitter. This
convenient feature offers a high level of security and may entitle the ve-
hicle owner to an insurance discount since the user does not need to re-
member to arm the system each time the vehicle is exited.
* An optional doorlock interface must be installed
Page 5

The Last Door Arming process:
1- When the vehicle’s ignition has been turned off, the system waits until a
door is opened. When the door is closed, or when the last door is closed
when more than one door is opened, the siren will chirp twice, the park-
ing lights will flash twice, and the Status Indicator Light will begin flash-
ing Red rapidly. The Last Door Arming countdown has begun.
2- Thirty seconds later the siren will again chirp twice, the parking lights
will again flash twice, the starter interrupt will engage, and the Status
Indicator Light will begin flashing Red slowly. If programmed, the
vehicle’s doors will also lock.* Three seconds after these actions occur,
the system is fully armed.
Notes:
-If a door is reopened during the thirty second period between the first
and second set of double chirps, the countdown will stop and reset. When
the reopened door is closed again, the 30 second countdown starts over
again at the beginning.
-Last Door Arming is separate from, and does not effect the operation of
arming by using the transmitter.
- All protected points must be closed or otherwise in a non-violated state
for the Last Door Arming sequence to start. Unlike active arming from
the transmitter, the system can not bypass an open or detected zone and
arm itself.
To temporarily prevent the system from arming itself:
- Place the system in Easy Valet Mode using the Valet Switch (page 18).
- Leaveavehicledooropen. Althoughthisvariesdependingonthevehicle,
in many cases turning on the interior light will be detected by the system
as an open door.
- Although the system will not Last Door Arm while the ignition is on,
leaving the ignition key turned on without the engine running is not
recommended.
* An optional doorlock interface must be installed
The Last Door Arming feature may be coupled, if desired, with the auto-
matic locking of the vehicle’s doors when the system arms itself.*
Page 6

While the system is in the Armed state:
• The Status Indicator Light will be flashing slowly Red to confirm that the
system is armed, and also serve as a visual deterrent.
• The starter interrupt circuit is engaged.
• Protected zones are being monitored for intrusion attempts.
Should an activation into the alarm condition occur:
• The changing-tone electronic siren will loudly sound.
• The parking and interior lights will flash.
• The doors will lock,* regardless of their locked or unlocked status. This
feature is unique- if the system detects that a door is opened, it waits until
the door is closed before relocking it, denying the thief reentry.
Anactivatedalarmconditionhasadurationof60seconds(30isoptional)
unless the system is disarmed using the transmitter or the Valet switch. If
all protected zones are secure at the end of the alarm condition, the system
will stop and rearm automatically, ready to detect another entry attempt. If
aprotected zoneisstill violatedatthe endofthe alarmcondition,the system
will reactivate for up to two additional alarm cycles. After the third alarm
cyclethesystemwillautomaticallyrearmandbypasstheopenzoneuntilthat
zone returns to a normal “non-violated” state.
• Once the system resets after it has been activated, upon disarming the
audible and visual confirmation will change to indicate the activation.
This is the “Activation Alert”, which is explained on pages 9 and 20.
SYSTEM ARMED & ACTIVATED
There are three methods of Disarming the security system:
1- The first method is to press and release the transmitter’s “Disarm/
Unlock” button to disarm the system. This is the normal method.
2- The second method is to press and release the transmitter’s “II” button
twice within 5 seconds. This is “silent Disarming”.
3- The third method is for emergencies, should the transmitter become lost
or inoperable. This is the “Emergency Override”, and uses the ignition
key and Valet Switch.

Upon Disarming:
• The siren will chirp once (or three times if an alarm activation occurred)
unlessthe silent disarming procedure is followed.
• The parking and dome lights will illuminate for 30 seconds (5 seconds is
optional) unless the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. If the system has
been activated, the parking lights will flash 3 times before illuminating.
• The doors will unlock, either all doors or driver’s door only.*
• The starter interrupt will disengage.
• The Status Indicator Light will show one of these features or conditions:
-Flashing Red rapidly = Automatic Rearming feature is in progress.
-Off = System disarmed (Automatic Rearming feature not selected).
-Flash Red /Pause = Indicates violated zone if system has been activated.
* An optional doorlock interface, in either standard form or driver’s
door priority form, must be installed

Safety Disarm will also cancel Automatic Rearming (if it is programmed to
operate). This feature is also very useful when the vehicle is exposed to
environmental conditions, such as storms, trains or heavy vehicles, which
may cause false activations.
Safety Disarm is a temporary “one time” operation which occurs only
while the system is activated. To remotely unlock the doors after a Safety
Disarm, simply press the “Disarm/Unlock” button again.
Automatic Rearming:
AutomaticRearming isa programmablefeaturewhichensuresthat your
system is never inadvertently disarmed. It is possible to accidentally or
unknowingly operate the 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 Extended Range Transmitter.
How It Works:
Whenever the system is disarmed by the transmitter, this feature starts a
90 second countdown, which is indicated by a rapidly flashing Red Status
Indicator Light. During this 90 second period, if no protected entry points
are opened and the vehicle’s ignition is NOT turned on, the system will
automatically arm itself at the end of the countdown. If desired, the system
canalso beprogrammed toautomatically relockthe doorswhenthisoccurs.

Activation Alert :
If the system experiences an alarm condition and resets itself, upon
disarming the siren will chirp three times and the parking lights will flash
threetimesinsteadofthenormalonechirpandonelightflash. Additionally,
the Status Indicator Light will be flashing a “Zone Violation Code”. When
the alarm condition activation occurred, the Status Indicator Light changes
from flashing slowly to flashing one to four times between pausing to
indicate which protected zone was violated.
- TheZoneViolation Codewill continueto bedisplayeduntil thevehicle’s
ignition is turned on.
- The Status Indicator Light will display the Zone Violation Code in place
of fast flashes indicating Automatic Rearming.

Automatic Rearming Notes:
- Turning the vehicle’s ignition on cancels Automatic Rearming.
- Opening a door will suspend the 90 second countdown.
- All protected zones must remain non-violated during the 90 second
Automatic Rearming period. For example, if a vehicle door is opened
during the 90 second period, the countdown will stop. When the door is
closed, the system resets and starts a new 90 second countdown period.
- The Automatic Rearming sequence is indicated by a fast flashing Red
Status IndicatorLight,unlessthesystemhasbeenactivated,inwhichcase
an Alarm Condition Memory Recall code will flash instead (page 20).
The ignition switch must be turned on to erase a violation code.
- If the system is disarmed while it is activated (siren sounding and lights
flashing) Safety Disarm will cancel the Automatic Rearming for that
disarming operation only. The next time the system is armed, Automatic
Rearming will be initiated upon the subsequent disarming.

Notes:
-There is no time limitation for the second pressing of the “Disarm/Un-
lock” button. Once the button is pressed and released to Disarm the
system, every subsequent pressing of the “Disarm/Unlock” button will
produce the “unlock all doors” output, the single siren chirp and parking
and dome light illumination period. When the system is next armed, by
any of the three methods, the operation is reset so the next use of the
“Disarm/Unlock” button will result in the system Disarming and pro-
ducing the “unlock driver’s door only” output.
-When disarming a system configured for Driver’s Door Priority, the user
has the option of Silent Disarming (by pressing twice the Auxiliary Out-
put #2 button), and then pressing the “Unlock/Disarm” button. When
the remaining doors unlock, the system will chirp the siren once.
Emergency Override:
In the event that your transmitter is lost, damaged, or its batteries have
become exhausted, the Valet Switch and the vehicle’s ignition key may be
used to disarm the system.
To Disarm the System without using a Transmitter:
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 door is opened).
Step 2. Using the ignition key, turn the vehicle’s ignition on.
Step 3. Within 5 seconds, press and release the Valet Switch once. The
system will disarm.

ENHANCED REMOTE PANIC
Upon Activating Panic:
• The electronic siren will sound.
• The vehicle’s exterior parking lights will flash.
• The vehicle’s doors will unlock.*
- The Panic feature is designed for situations in which the user feels threat-
ened and/or a need to attract attention.
- Panic can be activated anytime, whether the vehicle’s ignition is turned
on or off, and has a 60 second duration (30 seconds is optional) unless it
is deactivated using the remote control.
- At the end of the Panic cycle the system will reset, enter the armed state,
and lock the doors.*

“Enhanced Panic” allows you to activate Remote Panic from either the
“Arm/Lock” button or “Disarm/Unlock” button; the former locks the doors
and the latter unlocks the doors when Remote Panic is activated.
Deactivating Remote Panic from the “Arm/Lock” button results in the
system being in the Armed state with locked doors. If the “Disarm/Un-
lock” button is used to deactivate Remote Panic the system will be in the
Disarmed state, with unlocked doors.

To Activate Auxiliary Output #2:
OTHER TRANSMITTER OPERATIONS
The previous sections have described the basic everyday operations of
your Crime Guard system. The transmitter is also capable of operating
several other optional functions which are explained in this section.
Two auxiliary outputs are available for use (the primary output Arms
and Disarms the system). The second output, Auxiliary Output #2, is also
capable of Disarming the system; thus it is ideally suited for remote trunk
release. Operating Auxiliary Output #2 will also unlock the doors* when it
Disarms the system, should it be armed. If desired, the unlocking of the
doors and disarming of the system may be programmed to not operate. The
final output, Auxiliary Output #3 cannot affect the armed or disarmed sta-
tus of the system, nor unlock the doors as part of its operation.

* An optional doorlock interface must be installed. When Auxiliary
Output #2 is operated, all of the doors will unlock, even if the vehicle is
configured with Driver’s Door Priority.
Auxiliary Output Notes:
- Auxiliary Output #2 may be activated anytime, provided the vehicle’s
ignition is off. While the ignition is on, the Auxiliary Output #2 can be
operated as long as a vehicle door is open; this prevents the output from
being accidentally activated while driving.
- If feature #7 is programmed to have the Auxiliary Output #2 disarm the
system, the doors will unlock when it is activated; and there is an audible
and visual confirmation: 3 siren chirps and one light flash if the system
also disarms, and one chirp and light flash otherwise.
- Auxiliary Output #3 may be activated at any time, regardless of the igni-
tion being on or off, and regardless of the security system’s status.
- Auxiliary #3 has no audible and/or visual confirmation.
Sensors:The Crime Guard 850i3security system is equipped with a Glass
Breakage and Dual-Zone Infrasonic Impact Sensor to increase the
effectivenessofthesystem. Theimpactsensorisjustoneinacomprehensive
line of available sensors. Other available options are: piezo shock sensors,
andmicrowave/radarsensorswhichcandetectobjectsinmotionbothinside
and outside the vehicle.
- The Crime Guard 850i3control module features dual auxiliary sensor
ports, which easily allows the addition of a further optional sensor.
- Ifdesired,thesensorzoneonlycanbebypassedwhenthesystemisarmed
with the transmitter, but leaving the other protection zones in place. This
featureisconvenient whenenvironmental factors,such ashailor thunder
storms, may lead to the system being activated erroneously.
Prewarning Detection Circuit: When the sensor’s prewarn zone is
violated the security system will respond by chirping the siren three times
and relocking all of the doors.* If the prewarn circuit is triggered five times
while the system is armed, the circuit will automatically shutdown until the
security system is disarmed and armed again.
- Prewarning operates from the Infrasonic Impact Sensor only.

Page 15
REMOTE SENSOR BYPASS
Remote Sensor Bypass allows the option of “turning off” the sensor any-
time the system is armed using the transmitter. When the sensor is by-
passed, only the sensor zone is bypassed and all other protected zones will
remain fully operational and vigilant. The sensor zone will reset to its nor-
mal operation the next time the system arms.

The remote starting operation is as follows:
1) Press and release the transmitter’s “Arm/Lock” and “Disarm/Unlock”
buttons. The system will respond first by rapidly flashing the Status
Indicator Light Green, then by turning on the ignition and flashing the
parking lights once.
2) Thestarterwillengageuntiltheengineruns;10secondslatertheparking

from being remotely started. (having them flash instead is an option).
Theengine willrunfor 10minutes (thefactory-setperiod). A 20minute
setting may be programmed, if desired, by referring to the “Programming
Features” section. Once the engine has been remotely started, to remotely
stop the engine again press and release together the transmitter’s “Arm/
Lock” and “Disarm/Unlock” buttons. The system will stop the engine, and
extinguish the parking lights.
- When leaving the vehicle before remote starting, remember to
“Preactivate” the system for remote starting (see next page) and also to
settheclimatecontrolstothedesiredheatingorairconditioningsettings.
- 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).
Should the engine fail to start on the first attempt, the system will
subsequentlymakeas manyasthreefurther attempts,if needed. Pleasenote
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.

Certain conditions will prevent the engine from remotely starting, or if
remotelystartedalready,willstoptherunningengine. Theseconditionsare:
1) A pressed brake pedal.
2) The gear selector not being in the “park” or “neutral” position.
3) An open hood.
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
runningengine, unlessthe systemis armed. Openinga doorwiththeengine
running by remote control and the system armed will result in activating the
system, which will stop the running engine.
If a start command is sent from the transmitter, but any of the following
conditionsarepresent,thesystemwillnotattempttostarttheengineandwill
insteadhaveashortsoundingofthesirentoindicateaviolatedsafetycircuit.
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.
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
switchandturntheswitchto“on”or“run”position(not“start”!). Thenpress
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
Switchalsoturnoffthesystem’srunningtheengine,butwithouttheviolated
safety circuit siren sounding.
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 transmitter signal is received, a safety circuit is violated, or if the
Valet Switch is pressed.
Remote Starting Preactivation Feature: “Remote Starting
Preactivation” is a safety feature which requires that the user press and
releasetheValet Switchbefore exitingthevehiclewhena subsequentuseof
remote starting is anticipated. If desired, this feature can be turned off.

Starting Valet Mode: This feature is similar to Easy Valet, but its
purpose is turn off the remote starting operations of the system. The system
may be placed into Starting Valet Mode and Easy Valet Mode indepen-
dently, or into both modes at the same time. Please note that the only

STATUS INDICATOR LIGHT
The Status Indicator Light visually confirms the status of the system and
provides a high level of visual deterrence. Two colors are shown- Red for
securityoperations,andGreenforremotestartingoperations. Combinations
of both colors are seen when the two operations are occurring together. The
Status Indicator Light, which shares a housing assembly with the Valet
Switch, is normally mounted in a location where it can be easily seen by the
driver, as well as from outside the vehicle.
Security System Status: The Red colored operations of the Status
Indicator 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 and in standby mode.
2) On Red Constant = The security system is in the Easy 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.
Automatic Transmitter Verification: For the first 10 seconds after
the vehicle’s ignition is turned on, the Status Indicator Light will flash Red
a number of times that equal the number of 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.
Alarm Condition Memory Recall: If the system enters an alarm
condition, the Status Indicator Light will stop flashing slow Red and begin
to flash in sequence to indicate which protected zone caused the alarm
condition. The Status Indicator 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 Alarm
Condition MemoryRecallcircuitcanstoretwoconsecutivezoneviolations.
If there have been multiple violations, the Status Indicator Light will replay
the two most recent violations in the order in which they occurred.
