OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER OPERATION

Your Car-Pro security system comes with two 3-button remote control transmitters that feature a

sophisticated code hopping system that will prevent illegal use of a code grabber with an attempt

to record and steal your transmitter codes.

ARM/DISARM FUNCTIONS

To arm your alarm system, press the LOCK button. The siren will chirp (1) time and the parking

lights will flash (1) time indicating that your system is now armed. Press the UNLOCK button

and the siren will chirp (2) times and the parking lights will flash (2) times indicating that the

alarm is now disarmed. If you have the keyless entry feature installed, the vehicle doors will lock

upon arming and unlock upon disarming

DELETING THE ARM/DISARM CHIRP

When attempting to arm or disarm your security system, you have the option of temporarily

muting the siren chirp sound. To perform this function, simply depress the LOCK and UNLOCK

buttons on the remote control transmitter at the same time. No chirp sound will be heard, so you

may confirm the arm/disarm function by watching the parking lights flash.

REMOTE PANIC FUNCTION

The remote control may be used as a remote panic switch that will activate the alarm's siren and

parking lights in case of an emergency. To activate PANIC, press and hold the LOCK button on

the remote transmitter for (3) seconds. The siren will sound and the parking lights will flash

continuously. To stop the PANIC, press the LOCK button on the remote.

SECOND CHANNEL / TRUNK FUNCTION

You may use the "Trunk" icon button on your transmitter for a separate function. For example, if

your vehicle has electronic trunk release and the alarm has been connected to it, you may

release your trunk by pressing the "Trunk" icon button on the remote control.

CHANGING THE TRANSMITTER BATTERY

The remote control transmitters come with (1) miniature 12-volt battery. Under normal use this

battery should have a life of approximately one year. If you should need to replace your battery

you may want to return to your installing dealer. You may also wish to change the battery by

yourself. When purchasing the battery be sure to purchase any of the following: GP23A,

#EL12, #VR22 or Radio Shack #23-144.

To replace the battery, carefully remove the case screw located on the bottom of the transmitter

where the key ring attaches to the case. Use a small blade Phillips head!

After removing the screw, carefully pop open the plastic case. Before removing the battery note

the direction of its "+/-" terminals. Install the new battery exactly the same way using caution not

to bend the battery contacts. Replace the case cover and insert and tighten the screw. Do not

over tighten! Test the transmitter.

SYSTEM OPERATION

OVERRIDE FUNCTION

The OVERRIDE FUNCTION may be used if the remote transmitter is lost or inoperative. To

operate, enter the vehicle (alarm will sound), switch the ignition to "ON" and within 10 seconds

push the red override button and release. The alarm will stop and is disarmed. Have your

remote transmitter serviced or replaced.

VALET FUNCTION

The alarm has a valet or stand-by mode that can be used when the vehicle is being serviced, in

a car wash, or valet attendant parking. To activate valet, turn the ignition "ON", then push and

hold the red valet/override switch for 2 seconds or until the red LED comes to solid ON. Turn

the ignition "OFF"; your vehicle is now in valet. To reactivate, repeat the above procedure noting

the red LED will now turn OFF.

Note: If your vehicle has the Keyless Entry option installed, you can still lock and unlock your

doors with remote transmitter while in the Valet Mode.

PASSIVE/MANUAL OPERATION

Manual Arming / Disarming is controlling your security system via the remote control transmitter.

If you have chosen the optional Passive Arming feature, the system can be armed as below:

Turn the vehicle's ignition "Off" and exit the vehicle

After all entrances are closed, the red LED will flash fast for 30 seconds. If you re-open an

entrance the LED will stop flashing. It will begin flashing again once the entrance is closed.

After the 30 seconds of time has elapsed, the security system will automatically "ARM". The

siren will chirp (1) time and the parking lights will flash (1) time.

Note: If the keyless entry feature has been installed, the doors will automatically lock after the

passive arming cycle has been completed. If this feature is not desired, see your local dealer

and have the alarm programmed to eliminate passive door locking.

AUTOMATIC REARMING (OPTIONAL)

If this feature is chosen, the security system will automatically re-arm itself 60 seconds after disarming the

system. Automatic rearm will cancel if any entrance is opened before the 60 seconds of time has elapsed.

IGNITION CONTROL DOOR LOCKS (OPTIONAL)

If the keyless entry feature of the alarm is connected, this option will automatically lock the doors when

the ignition is turned "On" and unlock the doors when the ignition is turned "Off". Note: If any entrance

is open when the igni t ion is turned "On", the doors will not lock automatically. Doors will have to be

locked by the factory locking system.
