Congratulations on your purchase of aREC-12 Deluxe Keyless Entry
system by Omega Research &Development, Inc., aleader
in vehicle security
and convenience systems since 1970. The REC-12 is avery flexible system
that provides many programmable features, when customized, can enhance
or
change the system's operation. These programmable features, and the method
to customize them, are described in this booklet so the system can be config-
ured to suit your individual needs. First, this booklet describes the basic opera-
tions
of the system as configured with the factory default settings. Please read
this entire manual to familiarize yourself with the system's capabilities.
The 3 system components used to control and monitor this system:
The Transmitter: Each system comes with 2pre-learned controllers,
which are actually radio transmitters. This system can be operated by up to
4different transmitters. Each transmitter is embedded with aunique security
code and can only operate one system at atime*. It has 4buttons: a"LOCK"
button, an "UNLOCK" button, a"TRUNK" button, and a "
••• "button which
operates an additional output
or can be configured to activate PANIC mode.
*NOTE: an optional transmitter that allows the operation of 2 separate
REC-12 systems is available by special order. Please contact your dealer
or visit the replacement transmitter section on www.caralarm.com for
ordering information.

System Overview (cont'd) <~. ;~.
The Valet/Override Switch: This switch can be used to temporarily
turn "off' certain automatic locking, anti-carjacking, and optional starter interrupt
operations ofthe system, should they be programmed to operate, by plac-
ing the system into "Valet Mode". If the optional starter interrupt is installed,
the ValeUOverride Switch can also be used,
in conjunction with the vehicle's
ignition
key, to perform a"System Override", allowing you to start the engine,
should the transmitter not be available. The ValeUOverride Switch is also used
to program features and transmitters.
The Status Light: This light shows the status of the system at a
glance, and its presence offers avisual deterrent to break-ins and theft. The
Status Light's operation is described on pages 10-11.

Using The Valet IOverride Switch ':\~"
The Valet/Override Switch can be used to place the system into Valet
Mode, which is used to stop or interrupt any automatic system functions which
may be programmed to operate. The Valet/Override Switch,
in conjunction
with your ignition
key, also permits System Override, which allows starting the
vehicle ifthe optional starter interrupt is installed, and the transmitter becomes
lost or damaged.
Valet Mode:
You may activate the Valet Mode at any time by press-
ing and holding the Valet/Override Switch for 3seconds, unless the doors have
been locked by the transmitter (in which case the Status Indicator will be flash-
ing slowly). When the system enters Valet Mode, the Status Light will illuminate
solid steady Red. Ifthe REC-12
is installed with audible confirmation, the sys-
tem will chirp twice when it enters Valet Mode. Remember to check the Status
Light -if it is not lighted or flashing fast, the system may be placed into Valet
Mode. Ifthe Status Light is
on steady, the system is already in Valet Mode. If
it's flashing slowly, aSystem Override must first be performed (see next page).
While the system is
in the Valet Mode, the Status Light will remain solid
Red (not flashing) at all times. Ifthe audible confirmation is connected, every
time the ignition switch is turned "off", the system will chirp once as areminder
of this condition. Also, the transmitter will operate normally while the system
•

is in Valet Mode, Le., it will still lock and unlock the doors, and the transmitter's
"TRUNK"
and" ••• "Buttons will still operate -but the optional Starter Disable
will not operate, and any programmed automatic functions are suspended.
To exit Valet Mode simply press and release the Valet Switch at any
time; the Status Light will change from being on solid steady Red to being off.
System Override: Ifthe last system operation was locking the doors
by the
tran~mitter, aSystem Override is required before then placing the
system into Valet Mode, or starting the engine if the optional Starter Disable is
installed.
To obtain aSystem Override:
Step 1Enter the vehicle normally.
Step 2Using your key, turn the ignition "ON".
Step 3Within 5seconds, press and release the Valet Switch once. The Status
Light will turn off.

The Status Light ~-:7:~'
The REC-12 includes aStatus Light to inform you of the system's op-
erational condition. If your system includes aStarter Disable circuit, it's condi-
tion is also reflected
in this light's operation, along with any automatic features
which may have been programmed to operate.
Light Off-Ignition switch is "on"
OR the system is "at rest", or standby, await-
ing atransmitter command, and is also indicating that no automatic functions
are occurring or will occur.
Light On Solid Red -The system is
in "Valet Mode".
Light Flashing Rapidly -An automatic function, such as automatic locking or
automatic starter disable, is in progress.
Light Flashing Slowly -This slow flashing will occurwhenever the transmitter
has been used to lock the doors, and also that the Starter Disable (if installed)
is engaged.
Light Flashes 1to 4Times after Ignition
"On" -This is the number of oper-
ating transmitters stored
in the system's memory. These indicators are part of
the Automatic Transmitter Verification operation. This indicator will flash for 10
seconds after the vehicle's ignition is turned ON.
