Protection While the System is Armed | Audiovox APS-786 specs

1. Turn the engine off, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood and trunk.

The dash mounted LED will begin to flash rapidly indicating that the 30 second passive arming timer has begun. If the LED does not begin to flash rapidly, then you have left a door, hood, or trunk ajar. Closing this entry point will allow the arming cycle will begin. If any entry point is opened during the 30 second arming cycle, arming will be suspended. When all entry points are closed, the arming cycle will begin again.

At the end of the 30 seconds, the parking lights will flash once, the siren will chirp once, and the dash mounted LED will begin to flash slowly confirming the system is armed. If the siren did not sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned off. Refer to the section on "Eliminating the Arm/Disarm Chirps" shown later in this manual. Passive door locking is a selectable feature. If you have the optional door lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors may or may not lock passively depending upon the setup during installation.

PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED:

Opening any protected entry point, hood, trunk, or doors will cause the alarm to trigger immediately. The siren will sound and the parking lights will flash for 30 seconds, then stop and continue to monitor all protected entry points. If the thief left the door opened, the unit will sound for six 30 second cycles then shut down, isolate the triggered zone and continue to protect all other zones.

Whenever the system is armed, the dash mounted LED will slowly flash. This serves as a visual deterrent to a potential thief. This LED is a very low current light emitting diode, and will not cause the battery to drain even if left unattended for long periods of time.

Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle's parking lights will flash for the full siren sounding period. Optional - whenever the system is triggered, the interior courtesy light will flash for the full siren sounding period.

Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle starter circuit is disabled, and the vehicle will not start with the ignition key.

Whenever the system is armed, any strong impact to the vehicle will cause the shock detector to trigger the alarm. Any lesser impact will cause the pre-detect stage of the shock sensor to emit a few short series of warning tones from the siren.

DISARMING THE SYSTEM

As you approach the vehicle, press and release the Disarm button on the keychain transmitter. The parking lights will flash two times, the siren will chirp twice, and the dash mounted LED will turn off.

If you have the optional door lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors will unlock. If you have the optional entry illumination circuit installed, the interior light will turn on for 30 seconds or until the ignition key is switched on.

NOTE: If the passive arming mode was selected at time of installation, the dash mounted LED will start flashing rapidly indicating that the system is rearming. Opening any door will suspend the automatic arming.

If the parking lights flashed three times, and the siren chirps four times, this indicates that the alarm system was triggered during your absence. Before turning on the ignition key, examine the dash mounted LED's flash pattern. The number of flashes identifies the trig- gered zone. For additional information, refer to INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS found later in this manual.

If the siren did not sound upon disarm, then the chirps have been turned off. Refer to the section titled ELIMINATING THE ARM/DISARM CHIRPS.

NOTE: If the optional 2 step door unlock circuit is installed, when the unlock transmitter button is activated, the drivers door only will unlock, pressing the unlock button a
