Operating Instructions for the Prestige PRO9344 or PRO9344FT Alarm System
Arming the System - Active:	Turn off the ignition, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood lid and trunk lid. Press and release the Lock/Unlock button on the key chain transmitter one time.
Silent Arming - Active:	Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood lid, and trunk lid. Press and hold the Lock/Unlock button on the keychain transmitter for 2 seconds.
Arming the System - Passive (Automatic):	Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close all doors. The LED begins to flash rapidly, indicating 30 second passive arming has begun. Opening any protected entry point during the 30 second passive arming cycle will immediately suspend automatic arming and the 30 second passive arming cycle will restart when all doors are closed. At the end of the passive arming cycle the led will flash slowly, the parking lights will flash once and the siren will sound one chirp.
Protection While the System is Armed:	Opening any protected door, hood, or trunk lid will cause the alarm to immediately sound. The alarm will continue to sound for 30 seconds, then stop and continue to monitor all protected entry points. If the thief left a door opened, the alarm will sound for six 30 second cycles, remain armed and ignore that triggered zone. 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 drain the battery even if left unattended for long periods of time. Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle's parking lights will flash for the full 30 second alarm cycle, attracting visual attention to the vehicle. Any strong impact to the vehicle's glass will cause the alarm to trigger for the full 30 second alarm cycle. Any mild impact to the vehicle's glass will cause the alarm to sound a short series of warning tones.
Disarming the System:	As you approach the vehicle, press and release the Lock/Unlock button on the key chain transmitter.
Silent Disarming:	As you approach the vehicle, press and hold the Lock/Unlock button on the keychain transmitter for 2 seconds.
Intrusion Warning Signals:	This system will inform you if an intrusion attempt has occurred while you were away from the vehicle. If an intrusion attempt has occurred, the siren/horn will chirp 4 times and the parking lights will flash 3 times when disarming the system. Enter the vehicle, and observe the red dash mounted LED to identify which zone was triggered. If the LED is flashing one time...pause...one time...pause...etc., then an intrusion attempt was made to the optional shock sensor, or an accessory triggering device that may have been added to the system. If the LED is flashing two times...pause...two times...pause...etc., then an intrusion attempt was made to a hood or trunk pin switch that was added to the system, or to a light activated entry point if the alarm was installed using the voltage sensing feature. If the LED is flashing three times...pause...three times...pause...etc., then an intrusion attempt was made through one of the vehicle's doors. These intrusion warning indicators are stored in the system's memory, and will only be erased when the ignition key is turned on.
Valet / System Override Switch:	The valet switch allows you to temporarily bypass all alarm functions, eliminating the need to hand your transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics. When the system is in valet mode, all alarm functions are bypassed, however the remote panic feature and remote door locks will remain operational. To enter the valet mode: Enter the vehicle and turn the ignition key to the "on" position. Move the valet toggle switch to the on position. The dash mounted LED will turn on solid, and remain on as long as the system is in valet mode. To return to normal operation, move the valet switch back to the off position any time the ignition is on. In the event you lose your keychain transmitter, or if the transmitter fails to disarm the system, the valet switch can be used as a system override switch. Open the car door (the alarm will sound). Turn the ignition key on, and press and hold the LED valet switch on. The alarm will stop sounding, and the vehicle can now be started. Note: Always remember to exit Valet Mode to ensure that the vehicle remains protected at all times.
Eliminating the Lock Chirps:	As explained earlier in the manual, you can eliminate the chirps selectively any time you arm or disarm the system simply by holding the Lock/"Arm" / Unlock/"Disarm" button for two seconds. If you find the normal arming and disarming chirps annoying, they can be turned off permanently, eliminating the need to hold the Lock/Unlock button for two seconds. To do this: Start with the valet switch in the off position, then turn the ignition key on then off. Within 10 seconds, move the valet switch to on then off three times. If the chirps were on before you started, then you will hear 2 chirps indicating they have been turned off. If the chirps were off before you started, then you will hear one chirp indicating they have been turned on. Note: If the siren/horn chirps two times, regardless of the valet switch operation as described above, then the horn and siren chirps have been turned off via programming features 7 & 8. Contact your installation center or Audiovox technical department for information on how to reinstate the chirp feature through programming. Whenever the chirps are by - passed, the 4 chirp intrusion indicator and 3 chirp defective zone indicator will always operate. Since these are important warnings to you that something has happened, they cannot be eliminated.
Remote Panic Operation:	The Lock & Unlock buttons on your keychain transmitter also functions as a "panic" switch for instant activation of the alarm in emergency situations. To use the remote panic switch: Press and hold the Lock/Unlock button on the keychain transmitter for 3 or more seconds. The alarm will immediately sound. To stop the alarm, press and hold the Lock/Unlock button on the transmitter again for 3 seconds. If the button is not pressed, the alarm will automatically stop after 30 seconds. Note: All normal transmitter functions operate in the panic mode.
Additional Remote Function (Channel 2):	This security system has an additional feature that can be wired to a number of different optional accessories. Some of the more common uses for this "channel" are: Remote Trunk Release Remote Car Starter Remote Window Closure Remote Garage Door Interface  To activate the optional accessory: Press and hold the Option button on the keychain transmitter for 4 seconds.
