for use with a vehicular horn, when the system has an alarm activation this output pulses .5 second, .5 second off for the duration of the activated alarm period. An optional relay, configured by the installer, is needed to utilize this feature. When the electronic siren is used, the output should be steady.
Programming Steady Siren or Pulsed Horn Output:
Follow Steps 1 to 4 on page 28; at Step 4 the Valet Switch will be pressed and released twenty one times. The system’s response will be twenty one siren chirps, and the Status Light flashing twenty one times, pausing, then repeating. Within 10 seconds, press and release the transmitter/transceiver’s "Disarm/Unlock" button to turn on the steady siren output (the horn/siren will chirp twice) or the "Arm/Lock" button to turn on pulsed horn output (the horn/siren will chirp once).
Feature #22 | Soft or Loud Horn Confirmation Chirps |
| (Factory Default Setting Medium Low) |
This feature is only available for use when the previous feature is programmed for the "Pulsed Horn" setting. If the system is configured to use the vehicle's horn, this feature allows four different volume levels of chirping the vehicle's horn in a satisfactory manner.
Programming the Chirp Confirmation:
Programming this feature uses all four transmitter or transceiver operation buttons. Follow Steps 1 to 4 on page 28; at Step 4 the Valet Switch will be pressed and released twenty two times. The system’s response will be twenty two siren chirps, and the Status Light flashing twenty two times, pausing, then repeating. Within 10 seconds, press and release the transmitter/transceiver buttons accord- ing as follows, which the systems chirp response also indicated:
"Arm/Lock" button | = | lowest volume chirp | (one chirp) |
"Disarm/Unlock" button | = | medium low volume chirp | (two chirps) |
“ II” button | = | medium high volume chirp | (three chirps) |
“ III” button | = | highest volume chirp | (four chirps) |
Bear in mind that while programming this feature, all buttons can be sequentially pressed, and the setting with the best chirp confirmation be chosen.
Feature #23 | 1 Or 2 Button Arming / Disarming |
| (Factory Default Setting 2 Button Operation) |
This feature changes the configuration of how the transmitter or Echo transceiver operates the system. In the factory default setting of “2 Button Operation”, one of the transmitter/transceiver’s buttons will only Arm the system (the “Arm/Lock” button), and a second button will only disarm the system (the “Disarm/Unlock” button). When this feature is programmed to the “1 Button Operation” setting, a single transmitter/transceiver button alternates Arming and
Upon Disarming the System will:
•The siren will chirp once (or three times if an alarm activation occurred) unless the silent disarming procedure is followed.
•The parking and dome lights will illuminate for 30 seconds (5 seconds is optional) unless the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. If the system has been activated, the parking lights will flash 3 times before illuminating.
•The doors will unlock, either all doors or driver’s door only.*
•The starter interrupt will disengage.
•The Status Light will show one of these features or conditions:
-Flashing Red rapidly = Automatic Rearming feature is in progress. -Off = System disarmed (Automatic Rearming feature not selected). -Flash Red /Pause = Indicates violated zone if system has been activated.
Upon Disarming with the Echo Transceiver, it will:
•The transceiver will chirp once (or three times if the system was activated).
•The “DISARM” icon will appear.
•The “unlocked lock” icon appears, confirming that doors have unlocked.
•The number of operating transmitters or transceivers is briefly displayed.
When Disarming and Driver’s Door Priority unlocking is utilized, if the “Un- lock/Disarm” neither the system nor the transceiver will repeat the Disarming confirmation indicators. As the system does not transmit a signal to the trans- ceiver, its “in range” icon will disappear, and then reappear again when the sys- tem is next Armed, or other remote function is used.
Safety Disarm Feature:
Pressing and releasing the “Disarm/Unlock button while the system is activated in the alarm condition will disarm the system, but the doors will re- main locked. This is the “Safety Disarm” feature, which allows the vehicle to remain secure, even though an activated system has been disarmed. Safety Dis- arm will also cancel Automatic Rearming (if it is programmed to operate). This feature is also very useful when the vehicle is exposed to environmental condi- tions such as storms, trains or heavy vehicles, which may cause false activations.
Safety Disarm is a temporary “one time” operation which occurs only while the system is activated. To remotely unlock the doors after a Safety Disarm, simply press the “Disarm/Unlock” button again.
Activation Alert:
If the system experiences an alarm condition and resets itself, upon disarming the siren will chirp three times and the parking lights will flash three times instead
