ABOUT YOUR NEW CRIME GUARD SYSTEM
Congratulations on your purchase of a new Crime Guard security and remote
starting system. Crime Guard systems combine the benefits of easy-to-use
convenience with “no nonsense” protection of property and person. Please
reviewthisguide to become familiar withyourCrimeGuard vehicle security and
remote starting system. To operate your system, the four principal components
are first described: the Remote Transmitter and Remote Transceiver, the Status
Indicator Light, and the Valet Switch.
The Status Indicator Light: The multicolored Status Indicator Light, placed
in a visible location in the vehicle’s interior, reports 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 Indicator Light may be found on pages 23-24.
The Valet Switch: The Valet Switch (page 21) has three main functions:
✓TheValet Switchcan beused to turnoff thesecurity 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 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.
TheValetSwitchistypicallycontainedwithin
the same housing as the LED Status Light
(upperleft,isthebottomofthishousing),or
the installer may have placed it in its own
hiddenlocation(lowerleft,istheValetSwitch
itself). In either case, the Valet Switch

The Remote Transmitter and
Remote Transceiver: Your system
comes with two pre-learned remote
controls; one is a “transmitter”, and the
otherisa2-way“transceiver”,theOmega
Echo. Theremotetransceiver,inaddition
to operating your system, also receives
signals from the system, and displays a
variety of system conditions on its LCD
screen. Your system can be operated by
as many as four transmitters and/or
transceivers.
The remote transmitter and
transceiver both share the same four
operational buttons- the “Arm
/Lock”, the “Disarm/Unlock”,
the “Auxiliary #2” and
“Auxiliary #3”buttons.
The Echo transceiver
has a fifth button, the
“Programming” button;
pressing this button
will illuminate the LCD
screen.
Remote Transceiver Icons: The LCD screen on the remote transceiver has
various icons which indicate system status. When the remote transceiver is used
tooperate thesystem, itreceives backasignalwhichcausesitto 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 how many transmitters/transceivers can operate the system.
• The“DISARM”willalsoshow“ARM”;this indicatestheArmedorDisarmed

FEATURES PROGRAMMING CHECKLIST
This “Features Programming Checklist” checklist greatly assists the program-
ming of features. Before attempting feature programming, please carefully read
pages 27-28 for the entire features programming instructions, and also see the
detailed explanation of each of the programmable feature, which is found on
pages 29 through 41.
To best use this checklist, determine which features are to be changed, and
mark each applicable box next to the feature with “\” before entering features
programming mode. As each feature is programmed, change its mark to “X”. In
the list at the right, please note that transmitter or transceiver button noted (“L”
for Arm/Lock or “U” for Disarm/Unlock) denotes the button that is pressed for
the default setting- if changing a feature, press the opposite button.
To program features, follow these steps:
Step 1 Turn the ignition “off”, and press the Valet Switch 5 times.
(the system will respond a siren chirp, then briefly sounding the siren
and the Status Light begins flashing Red)
Step 2 Press the Valet Switch the same number of times as the feature number.
(the system will acknowledge the Valet Switch entry by repeating the
same number of siren chirps and the Status Light flashes in Red an
equal amount)
Step3Press thetransmitter’s"Arm/Lock"buttontoturnthe feature“on”orpress
the "Disarm/Unlock" button to turn the feature “off”.
(turning the feature “on” is indicated by one siren chirp and the Status
Light being on; turning the feature “off” is indicated by two siren chirps
and the Status Light being off)
Repeat - Steps 2 and 3 for each feature to be changed
If no programming activity occurs within a 10 second
period, the Features Programming Mode will expire.
The system exiting features Programming Mode
is indicated by the siren briefly sounding.

disarming with the transmitter/transceiver will unlock the doors unless the
system is activated and sounding.
• “VALET” indicates Alarm Valet Mode, replacing the “ARM” or “DISARM”
icons. Amusical toneoccurswhenplacingthesystemintoAlarmValetMode.
• When “BAT LOW” appears the transceiver’s 1.5 volt AAA battery should be
replaced with a new battery.
• Thetransceiver’s chirpsand musicaltones maybeturnedoff,whichmakesthe
unit vibrate instead; “MUTE” indicates this state.
• The “3” within a circle appears when the Auxiliary #3 is operated.
• “HOOD/TRUNK” indicates that this zone the vehicle is or has been violated.
Ifassociated with thesystembeing activated, thetransceiver also emitschirps,
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
operationhasbeen activated,whichcan beperformedby anyofthree methods.
• Onthevehicle’swindshieldisa“hammer”and“impact”icon. Whentheshock
sensor detects light impact, causing the system to prewarn, the “impact” icon
alone will momentarily appear, accompanied by three chirps. If the sensor
detects a harder impact or breaking glass, activating the system, the full
hammer and impact icons appear, and the transceiver 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 transceiver 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. This icon
is accompanied by a musical melody, and stays on while remote starting is
operating; during which the puffs will change to appearing sequentially.
• The “2” within a circle indicates use of the Auxiliary #2, 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 from the transceiver was answered by a return signal from the
system. Should the transceiver 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
Omegafeaturewhich allowstheuser tocustomizethe vehicletyperepresented
by the display. Options are: passenger car, pickup truck, and sport utility/van.
Furthertransceiveroperationaldetailsappearin following sections describing
system operation. Programming the transceiver is explained on page 41.
Page 5Page 44
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 starting Start Melody and Stop Melody are accessed for program-
ming.
Other Omega Echo Notes:
• The system will only transmit a signal to the Echo transceiver if the Echo was
last used to operate the system (as in Arming or Disarming it). Example: if
the transmitter is used to Arm the system, the system will not transmit a signal
which will cause the Echo to chirp and change its icons.
• If multiple Echo transceivers are programmed to operate the system, the sys-
tem will send its signal to only one transceiver- the last one used.
• When the Crime Guard 850i4system does send a signal to the Echo trans-
ceiver, a few seconds is needed for this “handshake” to occur. If the
system is operated in a rapid fashion, as in quickly repeating Arm and Disarm
cycles, the Echo 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 symptom.
• A final point to remember is that the Echo transceiver cannot receive a signal
from the 850i4system while it itself is transmitting. For normal operations,
the Echo’s buttons are pressed and released. Even when “Panic” is operated,
the Echo button should be released as soon as “Panic” engages. Otherwise,
the Echo cannot receive the signal from the system.

The Echo will play a musical melody; this is the Start Melody which
plays upon remote starting. One of five melodies may be chosen now.
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.

• WhiletheEchoprogramming must be “scrolled” through, programming mode
can be exited at any point within the menu by simply not pressing any but-
tons for 12 seconds. The Echo chirps once when it exits programming mode.
• If the “MUTE” vibrating operation is selected, turning off the chirps, the
remote starting melodies are also replaced by vibration.
• The previous also applies to the musical melodies when programming- if the
Arming the Crime Guard system turns on the antitheft protection, disables the
vehicle’sstarter andlocks thedoors (providedan interfaceis installed). Oncethe
systemis Armed, anyintrusion attemptwillActivate it,soundingthesirenand
flashing the lights to attract attention. Disarming the system turns off the
protection, allowing normal use of the vehicle.
There are three methods of Arming the security system:
1- The first method is to use the transmitter or transceiver, by pressing and
releasing its “Arm/Lock” button. The system must not be in Alarm Valet
Mode (page 21), and the vehicle’s ignition switch must be off. Every press
of the “Arm/Lock” button arms the system, even if it is already armed.
2- Thesecondmethodistopressandreleasethetransmitterortransceiver’s“II”
button twice within 5 seconds. This is “Silent Arming”.
3- The third 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.

Upon Arming the System will:
• 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*.

Arming Bypass:
When arming the system using the transmitter or transceiver, if any pro-
tected 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 system 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 nor-
mal, 5 seconds after becoming normal the system restores protection to the pre-
viously bypassed zone or circuit.
If the hood and trunk zone, or sensor circuit is bypassed when the system 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. However, 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 delayed interior light illumi-
nation. In these vehicles, the interior light delay would typically cause the sys-
tem 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.
When the remote transceiver is used and Arming Bypass occurs, it will chirp
four times itself (instead of two) and flash the icon of the violated zone.
• 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.
LAST DOOR ARMING BY EXITING THE CAR
Last Door Arming:
Last Door Arming is a programmable feature which configures the system
to arm itself without the need of a command from the transmitter or transceiver.
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 remember to
arm the system each time the vehicle is exited.
Page 7
Upon Arming with the Echo Transceiver, it will:
• The transceiver will chirp twice (or four times if a zone is bypassed).
• The “ARM” icon will appear.
• The “locked lock” icon appears, confirming that doors have locked.
• The number of operating transmitters or transceivers is briefly displayed.

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

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 parking lights
will flash twice, and the Status Indicator Light will begin flashing Red rap-
idly. 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 the remote transceiver was last used to operate the system, when Last Door
Armingisusedto arm the system the transceiver will chirptwiceandshow the
“ARM” icon when system becomes fully armed 30 seconds after the last door
isclosed. Ifthedoorsareprogrammedtoalsolock*,the“locked”iconwillalso
appear when this occurs.
• 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.
• LastDoorArmingisseparate from,and doesnoteffecttheoperationofarming
by using the transmitter or transceiver.
• 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 transmit-
ter or transceiver, the system can not bypass an open or detected zone and arm
itself.
To temporarily prevent the system from arming itself:
• Place the system into Alarm Valet Mode using the Valet Switch (page 21).
• Leave a vehicle door open. Although this varies depending on the vehicle, in
mostcasesturningontheinteriorlightwillbedetectedbythesystemasanopen
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.
The Last Door Arming feature may include, if desired, the automatic locking of
the vehicle’s doors when the system arms itself.*

required to use this feature. To program the feature, follow Steps 1 to 4 on page
27;atStep 4theValetSwitchwillbepressedandreleasedtwentynine times. The
system’s response will be twenty nine siren chirps, and the Status Light flashing
twenty nine times, pausing, then repeating. Within 10 seconds, press and release
the transmitter’s "Arm/Lock" button to configure the system for Tachless
operation (the siren will chirp once) or the "Disarm/Unlock" button to configure
the system for Tach Wire operation (the siren will chirp twice).
Your Crime Guard 850i4 system is capable of being operated by as many as
fourcontrollers;thesecanbeanycombinationofstandardCrimeGuardtransmitters
orOmegaEcho transceivers. Regardless of which, the transmitter ortransceiver
must be encoded, or programmed, to the system in order to operate it (excepting
the originals, which were programmed at the factory). This programming
procedure is identical for a transmitter or Echo transceiver. To program
additional or replacement transmitters or transceivers, follow this procedure:
Haveallofthe transmitters or transceivers at hand (when oneisprogrammed,all
others are erased).
Step 1 Turn the vehicle’s ignition “on”.
Step 2 Within 5 seconds of turning "on" the ignition, press the Valet Switch 5
times. The siren will chirp once, confirming that the system is ready to
learn a transmitter.
Step 3 Within10seconds pressandreleasethe“Arm/Lock” button(the“locked
padlock”graphic). Thesiren will chirp once,confirmingthat the system
learned the transmitter.
Step 4 Repeat the previous step for each transmitter or transceiver which is to
operate the system.
Onlythe“Arm/Lock” button is pressedinprogramming; when it is learnedallof
theotherbuttons’ functions areautomaticallyassigned. The system willremove
itself from the programming mode if 10 seconds expire without its receiving a
signal, if the ignition is turned “off”, or upon four transmitters or transceivers
being programmed into the system.
Please note that programming a transmitter to the system will activate the
PROGRAMMING TRANSMITTERS
OR ECHO TRANSCEIVERS

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.
• All 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.
• Thedoorswilllock,*regardlessoftheirlockedorunlockedstatus. Thisfeature
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.
An activated alarm condition has a duration of 30 seconds (60 is optional)
unless the system is disarmed using the transmitter, transceiver, 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 a protected zone is still violated at the end of the alarm condition, the system
will reactivate for up to two additional alarm cycles. After the third alarm cycle
the system will automatically rearm and bypass the open zone until that 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 11-12.
The Echo Remote Transceiver’s reaction to the alarm condition:
If the remote transceiver was previously used to arm or operate the system, it
will react to an alarm activation, provided it is within range of the system. Upon
receiving a signal from the activated system, the transceiver will:
• The transceiver will start chirping, and continue chirping until any transceiver
button is pressed.
• An icon will start flashing, indicating which protected zone’s violation caused
the system’s alarm condition.
When silencing the transceiver’s alarm chirps, please note the differences of
pressing it’s buttons:
• Pressing “Arm/Lock” will rearm the system, stopping both system’s alarm
condition (leaving it armed) and the transceiver’s chirping.

• Pressing “Disarm/Unlock” will disarm the system, leaving the doors locked,
stopping both system’s alarm condition (leaving it disarmed) and the
transceiver’s chirping.
• Pressing and releasing any of the three other buttons will simply stop the
transceiver’s chirping, but leave the security system still sounding in its
alarm state.
The remote transceiver will display the flashing icon indicating the violated zone,
while the system is disarmed, until the ignition switch is turned on.
There are three methods of Disarming the security system:
1- The first method is to press and release the transmitter or transceiver’s
“Disarm/Unlock” button to disarm the system. This is the normal method.
2- The second method is to press and release the transmitter or transceiver’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
the Valet Switch.

Feature #26 Total Closure Lock Output
(Factory Default Setting OFF)
If the vehicle is has an existing total closure feature, this programmable
feature gives the installer the option of interfacing the system to operate this
feature. Typically, this option would close all windows and the sunroof, in
addition to locking the doors, when arming the system. Consult with the in-
staller on this option, as the vehicle must be properly equipped to utilize this
system feature. Turning this feature on changes the door lock output pulse to a
28 second duration.
Note: When using this feature, upon Arming the system, should the “Disarm/
Unlock” button be pressed during the 28 second lock output period, the output

Safety Disarm Feature:
Pressing and releasing the “Disarm/Unlock button while the system is
activated in the alarm condition will disarm the system, but the doors will re-
main locked. This is the “Safety Disarm” feature, which allows the vehicle to
remain secure, even though an activated system has been disarmed. Safety Dis-
arm will also cancel Automatic Rearming (if it is programmed to operate). This
feature is also very useful when the vehicle is exposed to environmental condi-
tions 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.
Upon Disarming the System will:
• The siren will chirp once (or three times if an alarm activation occurred)
unless the 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.
Upon Disarming with the Echo Transceiver, it will:
• The transceiver will chirp once (or three times if the system was activated).
• The “DISARM” icon will appear.
• The “unlocked lock” icon appears, confirming that doors have unlocked.
• The number of operating transmitters or transceivers is briefly displayed.
When Disarming and Driver’s Door Priority unlocking is utilized, if the “Un-
lock/Disarm” neither the system nor the transceiver will repeat the Disarming
confirmation indicators. As the system does not transmit a signal to the trans-
ceiver, its “in range” icon will disappear, and then reappear again when the sys-
tem is next Armed, or other remote function is used.

Feature #24 Door Lock/Unlock Pulse Duration
(Factory Default Setting .8 Second)
This feature, for the installer’s use, offers the selection of a .8 second or a 3
second pulse duration of the system’s doorlock outputs. Certain vehicles have
power doorlocking systems which are vacuum operated, and thus require a
longer output pulse from the Crime Guard system. While use of this feature is
determinedbythetypeofvehiclethesystemis installedin, thisfeature doessave
the owners of such vehicles the added expense of a special adapter.
Programming Door Lock/Unlock Pulse Duration:

button to configure the system for “1 Button Operation” (the siren will chirp
once) or the "Disarm/Unlock" button to configure the system for “2 Button
Operation” (the siren will chirp twice).
Feature #25 Double Unlock Pulse
(Factory Default Setting OFF)
This is another power door lock-related feature for the installer’s use; some
newer vehicles require a double pulse to remotely unlock the doors and/or to
disarm a factory-equipped security system.

Automatic Rearming:
Automatic Rearming is a programmable feature which ensures that your
systemisneverinadvertentlydisarmed. Itispossibletoaccidentallyorunknowingly
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 can also be programmed to
automatically relock the doors when this occurs.
of the normal one chirp and one light flash. 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
flashingtwoto four times between pausingtoindicate which protected zone was
violated.
• The Zone Violation Code will continue to be displayed until the vehicle’s
ignition is turned on.
• TheStatusIndicator Lightwilldisplay theZoneViolation Codeinplace offast
flashes indicating Automatic Rearming.
• Should the system be rearmed before the ignition clears the Zone Violation
Code memory, the Status Indicator Light shows the normal slow flashing.
• The system can store up to two consecutive Zone Violation Codes. If more
activations occurred, the two most recent codes are displayed.
Echo Transceiver Activation Alert:
If the Echo transceiver has been used to Disarm the system, it will show a
flashing icon for the zone which caused the system to activate into the alarm
condition. Aslongasthesystemisdisarmed,theEchowilldisplaythisicon,until
the ignition is turned on. The Echo will store one Zone Violation Code.
Automatic Rearming Notes:
• Turning on the vehicle’s ignition cancels Automatic Rearming.
• Opening a door will suspend the 90 second countdown.
• All protected zones must remain non-violated during the 90 second Auto-

Feature #22 Soft or Loud Horn Confirmation Chirps
(Factory Default Setting Medium Low)
Thisfeatureis only available for usewhentheprevious feature is programmed
for the "Pulsed Horn" setting. If the system is configured to use the vehicle's
horn, this feature allows four different volume levels of chirping the vehicle's
horn in a satisfactory manner.
Programming the Chirp Confirmation:
Programming this feature uses all four transmitter or transceiver operation
buttons. FollowSteps1to4onpage27;atStep4theValetSwitchwillbepressed
and released twenty two times. The system’s response will be twenty two siren
chirps, and the Status Light flashing twenty two times, pausing, then repeating.
Within 10 seconds, press and release the transmitter/transceiver buttons accord-
ing as follows, which the systems chirp response also indicated:
"Arm/Lock" button = lowest volume chirp (one chirp)
"Disarm/Unlock" button = medium low volume chirp (two chirps)
“II” button = medium high volume chirp (three chirps)
“III” button = highest volume chirp (four chirps)
Bearin mindthatwhile programmingthis feature,allbuttons canbesequentially
pressed, and the setting with the best chirp confirmation be chosen.
Feature #23 1 Or 2 Button Arming / Disarming

If a customized SecureCode has been programmed, the system will disarm a few
seconds after the correct entry, and if an incorrect entry is made, the system will
not disarm. A procedure which separate, but similar, to an Emergency Override
is the Alarm Valet Mode (page 21), which prevents the system from performing
any automatic arming operations which may be otherwise programmed to occur.
SecureCode:
Should a more secure access to Emergency Override be desired, the
“SecureCode” programmable feature may be used. Instead of “1 press” of the
Valet Switch to perform an Emergency Override, a customized programming of
the SecureCode would require from 2 to 12 presses. An owner-customized
SecureCode will only affect the Emergency Override operation, and the Anti-
Carjacking operations (if they are used). Placing the system into Alarm Valet
Mode, Starting Valet Mode, or Full Valet Mode is not affected; these operations
will still involve only a single Valet Switch press.

Upon Activating Panic:
✓The electronic siren will sound.
✓The vehicle’s exterior parking lights will flash.
✓The vehicle’s doors will lock or unlock, depending on button used.
• The Panic feature is designed for situations in which the user feels threatened
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 30 second duration (60 seconds is optional) unless it is deacti-
vated using the remote control.
• At the end of the Panic cycle the system will reset, enter the armed state, and

AUXILIARY OUTPUTS
The previous sections have described the basic everyday operations of your
Crime Guard system. The transmitter or Echo transceiver 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). One output, the Auxiliary #2 output, is also capable of
Disarming the system; thus it is ideally suited for remote trunk release. Operat-
ing Auxiliary #2 will also unlock the doors and Disarm 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 other output, Auxiliary #3 output cannot
affect the armed or disarmed status of the system, nor unlock the doors as part of
its operation.

Sensors:The Crime Guard 850i4security system is equipped with a Glass
Breakage and Dual-Zone Infrasonic Impact Sensor to increase the effectiveness
of the system. The impact sensor is just one in a comprehensive line of available
sensors. Other available options are: piezo shock sensors, and microwave/radar
sensors which can detect objects in motion both inside and outside the vehicle.
• The Crime Guard 850i4control module features dual auxiliary sensor ports,
which easily allows the addition of a further optional sensor.
• If desired, the sensor zone only can be bypassed when the system is armed
withthe transmitterorEcho transceiver,butleaving theotherprotection zones
in place. This feature is convenient when environmental factors, such as hail
or 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
systemis armed,thecircuitwillautomaticallyshutdownuntilthesecuritysystem
is disarmed and armed again.
• Prewarning operates from the Infrasonic Impact Sensor only.
