YOUR “SPREAD SPRECTUM" 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 re-transmit at a
later time to disarm your system.
Your Spread Spectrum transmitters will shift frequencies making it impos-
sible for a theif to grab and rebroadcast your code.
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 re-aligned
to the receiver. To do this, simply press the lock/unlock button two times
within a one second time period. The system will now respond to that
transmitter each time a button is pressed.
For reference the transmitter packaged with your system may not appear
exactly as shown This depiction is for reference only.
NOTE: As an option, this system has the ability to operate the vehicle's
horn which may require some additional parts. If this feature is installed,
the vehicle's horn will beep once when you lock the doors, twice when you
unlock the doors, twice when the Remote Start feature is activated, and
will beep during the car nder mode to allow you to nd the vehicle more
easily in a crowded parking lot.
THE LED TRANSCEIVER:
Shown above right, will respond with an LED ash when any command is
issues. Press the lock button, and when the vehicle receives the command,
it will report back that the function was executed by ashing the correspond-
ing LED, Lock, Unlock, Trunk, or in the case of Remote Start the LED will
ash once every 10 seconds while the vehicle is running under it's control.
KEYLESS ENTRY
1. To lock your vehicle, exit the vehicle, close all doors, hood and trunk,
then simply press the lock button of your keychain transmitter. To unlock
your vehicle, simply press the unlock button of your keychain transmitter.
As a keyless entry unit, for your convenience, the parking lights will ash

car nder mode causing the parking lights to ash and the optional horn to
beep for 30 seconds Activating these button's a second time for 3 seconds.
or pressing any other transmitter button while the car nde mode is active
will cancel this mode.
NOTE: This system has the ability to unlock the drivers door with the rst
press of the unlock transmitter button and then unlock all other
doors when the unlock button is pressed a second time. This op-
tional feature may require additional components. Consult your
installation center to determine if this feature has been added
to your vehicle. Additionally this system can be programmed to

check with your installation center for most recent Telematic Upgrades.
If you had a Telematic Upgrade installed, the manual supplied with the
upgrade unit will provide a operators manual advising of the features of
the system and means available to control these features of your vehicle.
PROGRAMMED TRANSMITTER NOTIFICATION (PTN)
Every time after Disarm when the ignition key is turned on, the unit's
LED will report the number of transmitters programmed into the system.
This safety feature will alert you if an unauthorized transmitter has been
programmed into your vehicle's security system without your knowledge.
Typical from the factory, there will be a 2 ash, pause, repeated 3 times
indicating that two transmitters are programmed into the system. If you
note additional ashes, there may heve been an additional transmitter
added without your knowledge or authorization. If you notice a change
in the transmitter LED report pattern, you can correct this by looking up
how to erase and reprogram your transmitters found in the transmitter
programming guide. This reprogram operation will erase all unauthorized
or unwanted transmitters.

Note: Certain systems have the ability to utilize channels 6 & 7 for
driver priority programming. For driver priority, the vehicle must
be equipped with this feature, and the optional feature must
be set up and installed by your installation center. Once this
feature is added when the unlock button of transmitter 1 is used,
it will set driver 1 priority, and when the unlock button of trans-
mitter 2 is used it will set driver 2 priority. In this situation, the
unlock button can be programmed into two receiver channels,
unlock, channel 2 and driver priority 6 or 7. In no other
