Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of your new Excalibur security system and on
joining over 8 million people worldwide who have trusted their vehicle's security to
thedesignersofOmegaResearch&Development,Inc. Tolearnhowtooperateyour
security system, please become familiar with the following three principal user
components: the Remote Transmitter, the Red LED Status Indicator and the Easy
ValetSwitch.
The Remote Transmitter: Each security system comes with two pre-learned
transmitters, but can learn up to 4 different transmitters. The transmitter has three
buttons: one large button in the middle and two smaller buttons. This system is pre-
programmed,throughabuilt-inlearningroutine,tohavethetransmitterbuttonswork
inthefollowingconfiguration:
The large button is used to arm, disarm and panic the security system.
Thesmallleftbuttonisused,inconjunctionwiththelargebutton,tooperateremote

the channel #3 output.
The small right button can be used to operate the trunk release feature.
Thisadvancedtransmitterdesign,featuringSurfaceAcousticalWaveTechnology
offers almost twice as much range as conventional systems. This helps overcome
problems encountered in urban areas due to excessive amounts of interference.

While the security system is armed, the LED Status Indicator will be flashing.
Should any intrusion attempt occur, your system will instantly "trigger". Once
triggered, thesecurity system will respond by:
1) The electronic siren will be activated. Once activated, it will change siren
sounds every 5 seconds to attract more attention to the vehicle.
2) The exterior and interior lights will flash.
3) Thedoorswillrelock.Thisfeatureissouniquethatthesecuritysystemeven

accomplished by the status indicator flashing one to four times between pauses, as
defined on page 15, until the ignition key is turned "on".

2) One siren chirp after the arming chirp above: The optional sensor circuit is
bypassed.
3) Two siren chirps (and no lights): Trunk release has been activated while the
security system is in Valet Mode.
4) Two siren chirps and lights stay on for 30 seconds: The system has just disarmed.
Note: Activating the Trunk Release feature will also disarm the security system.
5) Two siren chirps & two light flashes: The system is entering the Valet Mode.
