Congratulations on your purchase of an Executive Keyless Entry and Security system.
You have purchased the E-2300ATV, a Remote Keyless Entry System with Starter Disable. The
Executive series of personal convenience and security products are designed by Omega Research and
Development, a leader in vehicle security since 1970. When beginning to use this system, you will be
surprisedatits user-friendlydesign, considering thesystem deliversfeaturesand benefitsthatnot only
anticipate, but exceed, your expectations.
To learn how to operate your system, this Owner's Operation Manual will begin with Transmitter
Functions, then explain the system's other operations as enhanced by the factory-set Programmable
Features.Asyoubecomemore familiarwiththe basicoperationsthatthismodel performs,thisManual
willfurtherdiscusstheUserProgrammableFeatures,andthenexplainhowchangetothemtoconfigure

explain common technical terms.
Automatic Transmitter VerificationTM
You received two remote control transmitters to operate your Executive System. Each time the
ignition switch is turned to the "run" position the Red LED Status Light located on or under the
dashboard will indicate for 10 seconds the number of transmitters programmed to your system. For
example: Two flashes and a pause indicates two transmitters are coded to operate the system.
Continued Next Page

IMPORTANT: For the first 48 hours after a transmitter is coded to operate the system, every
timetheignitionswitchisturned"on",thebuilt-inpiezobuzzerwillbeeprapidlyfortwoseconds,
and the LED Status Light will flash for 90 seconds. If this occurs after the initial 48 hour period,
immediately reprogram your transmitters (See Page 10).
This Patented feature alerts you if someone has added an unauthorized transmitter to your system, and
is found only in Omega Research and Development products.

ConcealedTransmitterCodes:EachExecutive systemincludestwo transmitters,and uptotwo
additional transmitters can be stored in the unit's memory for your convenience. Each transmitter has
its own unique code. Thus, no other transmitter is coded the same as yours. In fact, no one, including
the factory, can program another transmitter exactly like yours because the code is built inside the
transmitter's microprocessor and cannot be seen or copied.
Transmitter Code JumpingTM:Each time you press a transmitter button its signal will advance
to the next digital code in sequence. Each time the system receives the correct digitally encoded signal
from your transmitter, the receiver will then advance to the next digital code in sequence to match the
transmitter.Therefore,youcannevertransmitthesamecodetwice,therebypreventingacodegrabbing
device from operating your system.
TransmitterBatterySaverFeature:Manytimestransmitterbatteriesareprematurely exhausted
because the transmitter buttons are inadvertently pressed by objects while in a pocket or purse. The
Executive transmitter will turn itself "off" after a short period of continuous transmission, and thus
prevent drained transmitter batteries.

All Executive Keyless Entry and Security Sys-
tems can use the same Remote Transmitters. Your
system is capable of being operated by up to four
Executive transmitters, which are available from the
dealership where you purchased your system.
Your Executive system will
lock your doors upon turning the
ignition "On", and unlock them
when the ignition is turned "Off".
The E-2300ATV includes a Red LED Status Light* to inform you of the system's operational
condition. Your system features a Starter Disable circuit, the status of which is also reflected by the
Red LED Status Light. These are the conditions of the LED Status Light:
LED Off......................................................................Ignition switch is "On". Also, the system
is "at rest", indicating that no automatic
features (which may have been programmed
to operate) will occur.
LED On Solid Red .....................................................System is in "Valet Mode".
LED Flashing Rapidly................................................Starter Disable has been programmed to
automatically engage.
LED Flashing Slowly .................................................Starter Disable is engaged. This will occur
whenever the transmitter is used to lock the
doors. The Starter Disable may also be
programmed to operate automatically.
LED Flashes 1 To 4 Times After Ignition "On" ........Number of transmitters stored in the system.
These four indicators are part of the Auto-
matic Transmitter VerificationTM feature.

* LED is the abbreviation for Light Emitting Diode - which is defined in the Glossary.
The Easy ValetTM Switch is used to place the system into Valet Mode, which is used to stop or
interrupt any optional automatic functions, such as Starter Disable, which may be programmed to
operate. The Easy ValetTM Switch, in conjunction with your ignition key, also allows you to override
the system in the event of a lost or damaged transmitter, leaving the vehicle for servicing, washing, or
valet parking.
Easy ValetTM Mode: This feature allows you to activate the Valet Mode at any time by pressing
the Easy Valet Switch button for 2 seconds, unless the Starter Disable is engaged (this is indicated by
aslowflashingRedLEDStatusLight). PleasenotethatoncetheStarterDisableisengaged,theignition
switch must be turned "on" to enter the Valet Mode. When utilizing the Easy ValetTM Mode, upon
pressing the Easy ValetTM Switch, the Red LED Status Light will illuminate a steady, solid Red, and
the built-in piezo buzzer will beep once. While the system is in the Valet Mode, the Red LED Status
Lightwillremain solidRed(not flashing)atalltimes,andeverytime theignitionswitch isturned"off",
the built-in buzzer will beep once as a reminder of this condition. To remove the system from Valet
Mode simply press the Easy ValetTM Switch at any time. The transmitter will operate normally while
the system is in Valet Mode, i.e., the doors will lock and unlock, the Option Button will still operate
- but the Starter Disable will not operate, and any programmed automatic functions are suspended.

Disable. The optional passive Starter Disable may qualify you for an insurance discount, so please
check with your insurance agent.
ActiveStarterDisable:Whenever thedoorsare lockedviathe transmitter,theStarter Disablewill
instantly engage. Unlocking the doors with the transmitter will deactivate the Starter Disable circuit,
allowing the engine to be started. Please note that the Starter Disable may be configured to
automatically reengage 90 seconds after the doors are unlocked by the transmitter; or, to engage
automatically 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned "off". These automatic Starter Disable
options are explained in more detail in the "User Programmable Features" section of this Owner's
Manual.
The E-2300ATV includes a built-in piezo buzzer for audible confirmation when a transmitter
command is received. This confirmation is designed to be heard only while inside the vehicle.

Programming Transmitters To Operate Your Executive System: To use an additional or
replacement transmitter, it's unique digital code must first be added to the Executive System module's
memory. The dealership where you purchased your Executive System can provide and program
transmitters for you, or you may program the transmitters yourself. If you wish to program a
transmitter, please follow these Transmitter Programming Mode procedures carefully:
1) Have all the transmitters that you wish to operate your Executive System at hand. Any time
a transmitter code is programmed into your Executive System, all existing codes are
automatically erased. This, in addition to the Automatic Transmitter VerificationTM feature,
prevents someone from adding an unauthorized transmitter to your system.
2) Withina5 secondperiod, turntheignition switch"on" fivetimes: "on","off","on", "off","on",
"off", "on", "off", then "on" again; the fifth time leaving it "on". The buzzer will sound briefly
to indicate that the system is ready to receive transmitter codes.
3) Within 10 seconds press the LOCK button on the first transmitter you wish to encode to the
system. The buzzer will beep once to indicate the transmitter's code is learned by the system.
It is only necessary to press the LOCK button, as the rest of the transmitter's functions are
assigned automatically.
4) Repeat Step 3 within 10 seconds for each additional transmitter. The system will leave
Transmitter Programming Mode when the ignition switch is turned "off", after 10 seconds of
not receiving a transmitter broadcast, or upon learning the fourth transmitter.
Programming Transmitters

User Programmable Features
Page - 11
Your E-2300ATV has four User Programmable Features which may be easily configured to your
requirements as part on the Transmitter Programming Mode. Once Transmitter Programming Mode
has been accessed (described on the previous page), at the point where the first transmitter code is
entered and acknowledged, that same transmitter may be used to configure these User Programmable
Features as desired. The User Programmable Features, and their factory default settings, are:
1) The Doors Automatically Lock 90 Seconds After The Ignition Switch Is Turned "Off".
Default: Feature OFF; Program with the transmitter's LOCK button.
When this Feature is activated (turned ON), every time the ignition switch is turned "Off", the
doors will automatically lock 90 seconds later. You may open a door and exit the vehicle
without affecting this operation, and the LED Status Light will have no indication that the
automatic locking will occur.
2) The Doors Automatically Relock 90 Seconds After Unlocking By The Transmitter.
Default: Feature OFF; Program with the transmitter's UNLOCK button.
When this Feature is activated (turned ON), every time the transmitter is used to unlock the
doors", they will automatically relock 90 seconds later. Opening a door will not affect this
operation, although turning "On" the ignition switch will cancel the automatic relocking. The
LED Status Light will have no indication that the automatic relocking will occur.
3) The Starter Disable Will Automatically Engage 90 Seconds After The Ignition Switch Is
Turned "Off" And 90 Seconds After Unlocking By The Transmitter.
Default: Feature OFF; Program with the transmitter's OPTION button.
Continued Next Page

When this Feature is activated, the Starter Disable circuit will automatically engage 90
seconds after the ignition switch is turned "Off" and also 90 seconds after the transmitter is
used to unlock the doors. The later may be cancelled by turning the ignition switch "On", but
upon turning the switch "Off" the former parameter of the Feature will cause the Starter
Disable to engage 90 seconds later. Please note that when this form of automatic Starter
Disable is selected, there is no indication of the impending engagement; once the Starter
Disable is engaged, however, the LED Status Light will flash as an confirmation indicator.
4) The Starter Disable Will Automatically Engage 90 Seconds After Unlocking By The Trans-
mitter.
Default: Feature OFF; Program with the transmitter's LOCK and UNLOCK button in unison.
When this Feature is activated, the Starter Disable circuit will automatically engage 90
secondsafterunlocking the doorsby use ofthetransmitter. The ignition switchmust be turned
"On" to cancel the automatic engagement. Please note that when this form of automatic Starter
Disable is selected, there is no indication of the impending engagement; once the Starter
Disable is engaged, however, the LED Status Light will flash as an confirmation indicator.

Changing The User Programmable Features
Aspreviouslymentioned,changingtheUserProgrammableFeaturesisavariationoftheprocedure
used to program transmitter codes to the system. Remember, when the system acknowledges the first
transmitter code, at that point you may use that transmitter to change any or all of the five User
Programmable Features. To change the User Programmable Features, follow this procedure: Page - 13
1) Have all the transmitters that you wish to operate your Executive System at hand. Even though
you are reprogramming an existing code, any time a transmitter code is programmed into your
Executive System, all existing codes are automatically erased.
2) Withina5 secondperiod, turntheignition switch"on" fivetimes: "on","off","on", "off","on",
"off", "on", "off", then "on" again; the fifth time leaving it "on". The built-in piezo buzzer will
sound briefly to indicate that the system is ready to receive transmitter codes.
3) Within 10 seconds press the LOCK button on the first transmitter you wish to encode to the
system. The buzzer will beep once to indicate the transmitter's code is learned by the system.
At this point, you may use this transmitter to change the User Programmable Features.
4) Within 10 seconds, press the transmitter button or button combinations to change the desired
Feature. Here is a condensed review of the four Features and the transmitter button(s) to use
when programming:
The Doors Automatically Lock 90 Seconds After The Ignition Switch Is Turned "Off".
Program with the transmitter's LOCK button.
The Doors Automatically Relock 90 Seconds After Unlocking By The Transmitter.
Program with the transmitter's UNLOCK button.
The Starter Disable Will Automatically Engage 90 Seconds After The Ignition Switch
Is Turned "Off" And 90 Seconds After Unlocking By The Transmitter.
Program with the transmitter's OPTION button.
The Starter Disable Will Automatically Engage 90 Seconds After Unlocking By The
Transmitter.
Program with the transmitter's LOCK and UNLOCK button in unison.
Continued Next Page
Every time the appropriate button or button combination is pressed, the system will respond
alternately with one beep, then two beeps - every time the button is pressed, the Feature
assigned to it is "toggled" on or off. One beep indicates that the Feature is on, or activated;
two beeps indicates that the Feature is off, or deactivated.
5) When all of the desired Features have programmed as desired, repeat Step 3 within 10 seconds
foreach additional transmitter. Remember,10 secondsof not receivinga transmitterbroadcast
will cause the system will leave either the Transmitter Programming Mode or the User
Features Programming period.

Glossary
Code-A digitalsignalwhich isassignedto each transmitterto make itunique and differentfrom other
transmitters. This is done in all Executive transmitters at the factory and cannot be duplicated.
Code Grabbing - A method whereby a thief, using a device that records and then plays back a copy
of your transmitter's signal, gains entry to your vehicle.
Code JumpingTM - The transmitter's ability to change it's code each time it transmits, rendering Code
Grabber units ineffective.
Keyless Entry - A popular option that allows you to lock and unlock your vehicle's doors by means
of a transmitter or key pad, without the use of the normal car key.
LED - Commonly used term for Light Emitting Diode, an electrical component that, in addition to
illuminating when electricity flows through it, limits the flow of electricity to one direction only. For
practical purposes, consider it as an indicator light.
Starter Disable - A device, when engaged, that will prevent starting the vehicle's engine.
Transmitter - The small remote control attached to your key ring that will emit a Radio Frequency
(RF)signal wheneverany ofits buttonsis pressed.Since thetransmitterislimitedtoasinglefrequency
assigned by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), it's signal must be encoded so that only
your transmitter will operate your vehicle. See "Code" above.
Valet Mode - A condition in which the starter disable will not engage.

Tips To Help Avoid Becoming A Victim
1) Always be aware of your surroundings. An alert and aware person is less likely to become a
crime victim than someone who is preoccupied and easily approached.
2) While driving in high crime areas, always keep your doors locked and your windows up. Your
Executive System can automatically lock your doors when the ignition switch is turned "on".
3) Always attempt to park your vehicle in a well lit and visible location with your doors locked.
4) While in parking garage structures, always attempt to back in to your parking space. This will
provide a less visually encumbered and quicker way to exit your parking space if you are being
pursued.
5) Whiledrivingor stoppedat an intersection,if yourvehicleis bumpedin the rearby anothervehicle
or the vehicle behind you is flashing it's headlights, consider the occupants of the vehicle hostile
and immediately drive to the nearest police or fire station. "Bump and run" thieves and carjack-
ers are becoming an increasingly severe problem.
6) Control access of your keys. Never leave your house and other keys with a valet parking attendant
mechanic, or any person requiring access to your car keys.
7) Control access of your keys. Never leave your house and other keys with a valet parking attendant
mechanic, or any person requiring access to your car keys.
8) After someone else has had access to your vehicle, always verify that your transmitters still
operate your system, and be aware of the Automatic Transmitter VerificationTM feature.
