ARMING THE SYSTEM (CHANNEL 1): ACTIVE
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close and lock all doors, hood, and trunk.
2. Momentarily depress the button on the keychain transmitter. The siren will "chirp" once,
the doors will lock (optional), and the dash mounted LED will begin to slowly flash.
WARNING ! Excessive pressure on the transmitter button will damage the internal
components on the circuit board. All that is required is a light push to the button.
NOTE: If the siren "chirped" three times when ARMING, then one of the entry points
(hood ,trunk, doors) has been left opened. Closing the Hood, trunk, or door will correct
the problem, and you DO NOT have to disarm the system to make the correction.
ARMING THE SYSTEM (CHANNEL 1): PASSIVE
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close and lock all doors, hood, and trunk.
2. The dash mounted L.E.D. will begin flashing rapidly, indicating that the system is
automatically(passive)arming. Asanaddedconvenience,theautomaticpassivearming
willnotbeginuntilalldoorsandtrunklidareclosed,allowingpassengerstoexitthevehicle
attheirconvenience.
3. In 30 seconds, you will hear a single, short "chirp" from the siren, indicating the system
is ARMED. At this time, the dash mounted L.E.D. will begin to flash slowly, providing
a visual indication that the system is fully ARMED.
3A. If the optional door lock interface has been installed, the doors WILL NOT
automatically lock when the 30 second arming time expires.
4. If you wish to ARM the system immediately, simply press and release the button on the
keychaintransmitter. Thesirenwill"chirp"once, thedoorswilllock(optional), andthe
dash mounted L.E.D. will begin to slowly flash.
PROTECTIONWHILE THE SYSTEM ISARMED:

continue to sound for 60 seconds, then stop and automatically re-arm the vehicle. If the
potential thief left a door opened, the siren will sound for four 60 second cycles, then re-
arm and ignore the opened door.

DISARMING THE SYSTEM (CHANNEL 1):
1. As you approach the vehicle, press and release the button on the key chain transmitter.
WARNING! Excessive pressure on the transmitter buttons will damage the internal
components on the circuit board. All that is required is a light push to the button.
2. The siren will “chirp” 2 times, indicating the system is DISARMED.

3A. ACTIVE:ThedashmountedL.E.D.willturnoff,andremainoffuntilthesystemisarmed.
3B. PASSIVE : Never attempt to disarm the system from a distance that prevents you from
opening a door within 30 seconds. Since the system is programmed for passive arming,
it will begin to re-arm until a door is opened. Opening the door will suspend the passive
armingcycle.
