Audiovox APS-610a owner manual Programming Your Custom Override Code

Page 6

Typically this override mode is used only if the transmitter has become inoperative. You may elect to enter the VALET mode until repair or replacement of the transmitter, after which, returning the system to the full operation mode is necessary. To do so, see item 3 under the heading VALET SWITCH.

Programming Your Custom Override Code:

Unlike override switches easily found and defeated, this security system allows the con- sumer 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.

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 valet/override 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 flash one time.)

5.Within 10 seconds, begin to press and release the push button switch to set the tenths digit.

(As per the example, press and release 5 times to set the tenths digit to 5)
