Manually Overriding Your System | Audiovox APS-996A specification

1.Enter the vehicle and turn the ignition key to the on position.

2.Press and hold the valet pushbutton switch until the dash mounted LED turns on solid. The system will remain in the valet mode.

3.To return to normal operation, press and release the pushbutton switch any time the ignition is on.

NOTE: Always remember to return the system to normal operation. This will ensure that the vehicle remains protected at all times.

MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM:

USING THE VALET SWITCH MANUAL OVERRIDE

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.

3.Within 5 seconds, press and release the valet pushbutton switch.

The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the (bypass) mode. You can now start and operate the vehicle normally.

Typically this override mode is used only if the transmitter has become inopera- tive.

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 # 10 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 valet/override 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 flash one time.)

4.Within 10 seconds, begin to enter your chosen 10ths digit by pressing and releasing the pushbutton 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 pushbutton 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 flashing the LED, first 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 flash 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.
