YOUR " CODE HOPPING" 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 fty 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.
ARMING THE SYSTEM - 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 transmitter.
 Dash mounted LED begins to ash slowly.
 Parking Lights ash 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, sometime 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

2. Press and hold the Lock button on the keychain transmitter for 2 seconds.
 Dash mounted LED begins to ash slowly.
 Parking Lights ash one time.
Siren will not sound.
If the siren "chirped" three times, sometime 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. Closing the
hood, trunk, or doors will correct the problem and you do not need to disarm
the system to make the correction.
Doors Lock - Optional

ARMING THE SYSTEM - PASSIVE ( AUTOMATIC )
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close and lock all doors, hood lid and
trunk lid.
 Dash mounted LED begins to ash rapidly, indicating 30 second passive
arming has begun.
2. Opening any protected entry point during the 30 second passive arming cycle will
immediately suspend automatic arming and the 30 second passive arming cycle
will restart when all doors are closed.
At the end of the passive arming cycle the;
 Dash mounted LED begins to ash slowly.
 Parking Lights ash one time.
Siren sounds one chirp
If the siren 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.
PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED
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 ash. 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 ash 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.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
1. As you approach the vehicle, press and release the Unlock button on the keychain
transmitter.
 Dash mounted LED turns off.
If passive arming was selected during the installation, then the LED will
start ashing rapidly, indicating that the system is rearming automati-
cally. Open any door to suspend the automatic arming.
 Parking Lights ash two times.
If the parking lights ashed three times, then the alarm was triggered in
your absence. Before turning the key on, examine the LED to identify
which zone was triggered.
 Siren sounds two chirps.
If the siren sounds 4 chirps, then the alarm was triggered in your ab-
sence. Before turning the key on, examine the LED and refer to the
INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS section of this manual to identify
which zone was triggered.
If the siren did not sound when disarming, then the chirps have been
turned off, and you should refer to the section titled “ELIMINATING
THE ARM / DISARM CHIRPS“ in this manual.
 Doors Unlock - Optional
Note: If the optional 2 step door unlock circuit is installed, when the unlock
transmitter button is activated, the drivers door only will unlock, pressing
the unlock button a second time will cause all doors to unlock. If your
transmitter has a separate lock unlock buttons, pressing the unlock
button anytime after the rst unlock command will cause all the vehicle
doors to unlock.

 Siren will not sound.
If the siren sounds 4 chirps, then the alarm was triggered in your absence. Be-
fore turning the key on, examine the LED and refer to the INTRUSION WARN-
ING SIGNALS section of this manual to identify which zone was triggered.
 Doors Unlock - Optional
NOTE: If the optional 2 step door unlock circuit is installed, when the unlock
transmitter button is activated, the drivers door only will unlock, pressing the
unlock button a second time will cause all doors to unlock. If your transmitter
has a separate lock/unlock buttons, pressing the unlock button anytime after
the rst unlock command will cause all the vehicle doors to unlock.
Headlight Illumination - Optional
Illuminated Entry Upon Disarm
WHILE THE SYSTEM IS SOUNDING
If during a triggered state, you wish to shut off the siren without disarming your security
system, simply press and release any transmitter button other than the disarm button.
This action will turn off the siren yet leave the vehicle fully armed and protected. This
feature is particularly useful if you are aware of children playing near your vehicle that
may accidently trigger your security system. In this case you can cancel the siren
sounding without disarming your alarm.
INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS
This system will inform you if an intrusion attempt has occurred while you were away
from the vehicle. If an intrusion attempt has occurred, the siren will chirp 4 times and
the parking lights will ash 3 times when disarming the system. Enter the vehicle and
observe the dash mounted LED to identify which zone was triggered.

 If the LED is ashing one time...pause...one time...pause...etc., then an
intrusion attempt was made to the shock sensor, or an accessory triggering
device that may have been added to the system.
 If the LED is ashing two times...pause...two times...pause...etc., then an
intrusion attempt was made to a hood or trunk pin switch that was added
to the system, or to a light activated entry point if the alarm was installed
using the voltage sensing feature.
 If the LED is ashing three times...pause...three times...pause...etc., then
an intrusion attempt was made through one of the vehicle’s doors.
These intrusion warning indicators are stored in the system’s memory and will
only be erased when the ignition key is turned on.
PUSH BUTTON LED/VALET/OVERRIDE/PROGRAMMING SWITCH: (PBLED)
The PBLED switch allows you to temporarily bypass all alarm functions, eliminating
the need to hand your transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics. When
the system is in valet mode, all alarm functions are bypassed, however the remote
panic feature and remote door locks will remain operational. To use the valet mode,
the system must rst be disarmed either by using your keychain transmitter, or by
activating your personalized manual override code.
1. Enter the vehicle, and turn the ignition key to the on position.
2. Press and hold the PBLED switch until the LED turns on solid. The system
will remain in the valet mode.
3. To return to normal operation, press and release the PBLED switch any time
the ignition is on.
NOTE: Always remember to return the vehicle to the valet off position. This will
ensure that the vehicle remains protected at all times.
MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM
USING THE PBLED OVERRIDE SWITCH
Your Security System can be disarmed without the use of the keychain transmitter.
This is necessary, since you will need the ability to operate your vehicle if the
transmitter is lost or its battery fails. If your system has been selected for Valet
Switch manual override as indicated on the last page of this manual, to bypass
the alarm system:
1. Open the vehicle door. The alarm will sound.
2. Turn the ignition key to the on position.

128-9313

Page 8
3. Within 5 seconds, press and release the PBLED override switch.
The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the (bypassed) mode.
You can now start and operate the vehicle normally.
Typically this override mode is used only if the transmitter has become inoperative.
Programming Your Custom Override Code:
Unlike override switches easily found, and defeated, this security system allows the
consumer to program a personal override code, offering a higher level of security.
To take advantage of this option, programmable feature # 9 must be selected for
the Custom Code Option. Consult your installation center for programming details.
The system comes from the factory with a pre-programmed override code of 11. To
change this default override code, do the following:
1. Disarm the system by use of the transmitter, or by use of the emergency override
sequence. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
2. Within 10 seconds, press and release the PBLED switch, 3 times.
3. Within 10 seconds turn the ignition switch off, on, off, on, off, on.
(The siren or horn will beep and the lights will ash one time.)
4. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen 10ths digit by pressing and
releasing the PBLED switch from 1 up to 9 times.
5. Within 10 seconds of the last entered 10ths digit, turn the ignition switch off then
on.
6. Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen units digit by pressing and releasing
the PBLED switch from 1 up to 9 times.
7. Finish by turning the ignition switch to the off position.
If the new code was accepted, the unit will report back the newly entered code, by
ashing the LED, rst indicating the 10ths digit, pause and then the units digit. The
unit will report the new code three times with a one second pause between each
code, then the system will begin arming. If the LED ash pattern reports the previously
stored code, the new code was not entered correctly. Please repeat steps 1 through
7 above considering the following.
NOTE: Acceptable digits 10ths or units are 1 through 9. The unit will not recognize
a 0 (Zero), or no digit entered in any place, units or tenths.
NOTE: If 15 seconds of inactivity expire, or if the ignition switch is turned off for
more then 5 seconds during any of the above steps, the unit will revert
back to the last successfully stored code.

Custom Code Programming Example:
To Change the code from the factory pre-assigned code of 11 to “52” you would
do the following:
1. Disarm the system by use of the transmitter, or by use of the emergency override
sequence.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
3. Within 10 seconds, press and release the PBLED switch, 3 times.
4. Within 10 seconds turn the ignition switch off, on, off, on, off, on.
(The siren or horn will beep and the lights will ash one time.)
5. Within 10 seconds, begin to press and release the PBLED switch to set the
tenths digit. (As per the example, press and release 5 times to set the tenths
digit to 5)
6. Within 10 seconds of the last press of the pushbutton, turn the ignition switch
off then on.
7. Within 10 seconds, begin to press and release the PBLED switch to set the units
digit.
(As per the example, press and release 2 times to set the units digit to 2).
8. Turn the ignition switch to the off position. Immediately observe the LED ash
pattern.
You will note the LED ashing ve times, pause, and then ash two times, pause.
This pattern will be repeated three times indicating the new code (52) has been
accepted and stored in memory.
NOTE: If after step 7, the LED ashes a code other than what was just entered,
this indicates that the code has not been changed. You will have to repeat
steps 1 through 7 above being certain to note the following:
Acceptable digits 10ths or units are 1 through 9. The unit will not
recognize a 0 (Zero), or no digit entered in any place, units or tenths.
NOTE: If 15 seconds of inactivity expire, or if the ignition switch is turned off for
more then 5 seconds during any of the above steps, the unit will revert
back to the last successfully stored code.

MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM
USING THE CUSTOM CODE OVERRIDE
Assuming the override code programmed has not been changed, and the default
override code of 11 is in the system's memory.
1. Enter the vehicle and turn the ignition switch to the on position.
NOTE: The siren will sound.
2. Within 5 seconds, press and release the PBLED switch 1 time.
3. Within 5 seconds, turn the ignition switch off then on.
4. Within 5 seconds, press and release the PBLED switch 1 time.
5. Turn the ignition switch off then on and start the vehicle.
NOTE: If you have changed the programmed override code then substitute your
new code tenths for step 2 above, and units for step 5 above.
ELIMINATING THE NORMAL ARM/DISARM CHIRPS
You can selectively eliminate the normal arm & disarm chirps by holding the transmitter
button slightly longer when arming or disarming.
This will prevent the siren chirps for one arm or disarm cycle.
If you nd this inconvenient and wish to eliminate these chirps permanently:
1. Turn the ignition switch 'on" then 'off".
2. Within 10 seconds of turning off the ignition, press and release the Push Button
LED switch 3 times.
3. If the chirps were on before you started, the siren will emit 2 short chirps indicating
that the chirps are now off. If the chirps were off before you started, the siren will
emit one short chirp indicating that the chirps are now on.
NOTE: If the vehicle battery is disconnected then reconnected, the unit will return
to the default setting of chirps on. Repeat the above procedure to eliminate
the arm/disarm chirps.
REMOTE PANIC OPERATION
The ARM or DISARM button on your keychain transmitter also functions as a panic
switch for use in emergency situations. To use remote panic:
