YOUR“CodeHopping“TRANSMITTERS
The transmitters included with your new security system use the most advanced
and secure form of radio frequency transmission available on any current
automotive security system. Some of today’s sophisticated auto thieves use a
device known as a code grabber, which will receive and store the signal from your
keychain transmitter, and retransmit at a later time to disarm your system.
Your anti code hopping transmitters will change their signal every time the button
is pressed, so when a thief grabs then retransmits your signal, the alarm system
will not respond.
If your transmitter button is pressed more than fifty times while it is out of range of
the vehicle ( children playing with your keys ), the transmitter will not operate when
you return to the vehicle and will need to be realigned to the receiver. To do this,
simply press the lock button two times within a one second time period. The
system will now respond to that transmitter each time a button is pressed.
NOTE: Your system has the option of using a siren, the vehicle horn, or both for
the sounding device. Where the siren is referenced below, the horn or
both may in fact chirp, or beep.
ARMINGTHESYSTEM-ACTIVE
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle and close all doors, hood
lid and trunk lid.
2. Press and release the Lock button on the keychain transmit-
ter.
Dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly.
Parking Lights flash one time.
Siren sounds one chirp.
If the siren/horn sounds 3 chirps, then you have left a door,
trunk, or hood lid ajar. Simply close the opened entry point to
provide full protection. If the siren "chirped" three times, some-
time after arming, the exclusive delayed dome light learn circuit
has been programmed and the system detected a open entry
point after the learned delay expired. Again, closing the hood,
trunk, or doors will correct the problem and you do not need to
disarm the system to make the correction. If the siren/horn did not
sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned off and you should
refer to the section titled "ELIMINATING THE ARM/DISARM CHIRPS" in
this manual.

Doors Lock - Optional
Door locking during passive arming is a selectable feature.
The alarm can be programmed to allow the doors to lock only
when arming using the keychain transmitter and they will not
automatically lock during passive arming.
PROTECTIONWHILETHE SYSTEM ISARMED
Opening any protected door, hood, or trunk lid will cause the alarm to
immediately sound. The alarm will continue to sound for 30 seconds,
then stop and continue to monitor all protected entry points. If the thief
left a door opened, the alarm will sound for six 30 second cycles,
remain armed and ignore that triggered zone.
Whenever the system is armed, the dash mounted LED indicator will
slowly flash. This serves as a visual deterrent to the potential thief.
The LED is a very low current bulb and will not cause the vehicle’s
battery to drain, even when left unattended for extended periods.
Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle’s parking lights will
flash for the full 30 second alarm cycle, attracting visual attention to
the vehicle.
Optional - Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle’s starting circuit
will be bypassed. If the thief should choose to ignore the siren, the
vehicle can not be started.
Any mild impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to sound a
short series of warning tones.
Any strong impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to trigger
for the full 30 second alarm cycle.
