Operating the Code Alarm PRO9644N Remote Start System

Operating the Code Alarm PRO9644N Remote Start System

ARMING THE SYSTEM - ACTIVE:

1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood lid, and trunk lid.
2. Press and release the Lock button on the keychain transmitter.

SILENT ARMING - ACTIVE:

1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood lid, and trunk lid.
2. Press and hold the Lock button on the keychain transmitter for 2 seconds.

ARMING THE SYSTEM - PASSIVE (AUTOMATIC):

1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close and lock all doors, hood lid, and trunk lid. Red dash mounted LED begins to flash rapidly, indicating 30 second passive arming has begun.
2. 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 re-start when all doors are closed. At the end of the passive arming cycle: Red dash mounted LED begins to flash slowly. Parking Lights flash one time. Siren sounds one chirp. If the siren did not sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned off, and you should refer to the section titled "ELIMINATING THE ARM / DISARM CHIRPS" below.

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 red dash mounted LED indicator will slowly flash. This serves as a visual deterrent to the potential thief. The LED is a very low current bulb, and will not cause the vehicle’s battery to drain, even when left unattended for extended periods.
• 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.
• Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle’s horn will beep for the full 30 second alarm cycle, attracting added attention to the vehicle.
• Optional - Whenever the system is triggered, the interior courtesy lights will flash for the full 30 second alarm cycle.
• Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle’s starting circuit will be bypassed. If the thief should choose to ignore the siren, the vehicle can not be started.
• Optional - Any strong impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to trigger for the full 30 second alarm cycle.

DISARMING THE SYSTEM:

1. As you approach the vehicle, press and release the Unlock button on the keychain transmitter.

SILENT DISARMING:

1. As you approach the vehicle, press and hold the Unlock button on the keychain transmitter for 2 seconds. Red dash mounted LED turns off. If passive arming was selected during the installation, then the LED will start flashing rapidly, indicating that the system is re-arming automatically. Open any door to suspend the automatic arming. Parking Lights flash two times. If the parking lights flashed three times, then the alarm was triggered in your absence. Before turning the key on, examine the LED to identify which zone was triggered. Siren will not sound. If the siren sounds 4 chirps, then the alarm was triggered in your absence. Before turning the key on, examine the LED and refer to the INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS section below to identify which zone was triggered.

WHILE THE SYSTEM IS SOUNDING: If during a triggered state, you wish to shut off the siren without disarming your security system, simply press and release any transmitter button other than the disarm button. This action will turn off the siren yet leave the vehicle fully armed and protected. This feature is particularly useful if you are aware of children playing near your vehicle that may accidentally trigger your security system. In this case you can cancel the siren sounding without disarming your system.

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 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.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.

PUSHBUTTON LED/VALET/OVERRIDE/PROGRAMMING SWITCH: (PBLED) The PBLED 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 use the valet mode, the system must first be disarmed either by using your keychain transmitter, or by activating your personalized manual override code.

1. Enter the vehicle, and turn the ignition key to the on position.
2. Press and hold the PBLED switch until the LED turns on solid. The system will remain in the valet mode.
3. To return to normal operation, press and release the PBLED switch any time the ignition is on.

NOTE: Always remember to return the vehicle to the valet off position. This will ensure that the vehicle remains protected at all times.

MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM: USING THE PBLED OVERRIDE SWITCH 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 PBLED override switch. The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the (bypassed) mode. You can now start and operate the vehicle normally. Typically this override mode is used only if the transmitter has become inoperative.

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 PBLED 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 PBLED 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 PBLED 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.

MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM: USING THE CUSTOM CODE OVERRIDE Assuming the override code programmed has not been changed, and the default override code of 11 is in the system's memory.

1. Enter the vehicle and turn the ignition switch to the on position. NOTE: The siren will sound.
2. Within 5 seconds, press and release the PBLED switch 1 time.
3. Within 5 seconds, turn the ignition switch off then on.
4. Within 5 seconds, press and release the PBLED switch 1 time.
5. Turn the ignition switch off then on and start the vehicle. NOTE: If you have changed the programmed override code then substitute your new code tenths for step 2 above, and units for step 5 above.

ELIMINATING THE NORMAL ARM/DISARM CHIRPS: You can selectively eliminate the normal arm & disarm chirps by holding the transmitter button slightly longer when arming or disarming. This will prevent the siren chirps for one arm or disarm cycle. If you find this inconvenient and wish to eliminate these chirps permanently:

1. Turn the ignition switch 'on" then 'off".
2. Within 10 seconds of turning off the ignition, press and release the PBLED switch 3 times.
3. If the chirps were on before you started, the siren will emit 2 short chirps indicating that the chirps are now off. If the chirps were off before you started, the siren will emit one short chirp indicating that the chirps are now on. NOTE: If the vehicle battery is disconnected then reconnected, the unit will return to the default setting of chirps on. Repeat the above procedure to eliminate the arm/disarm chirps.

REMOTE PANIC OPERATION: The Lock or Unlock button on your keychain transmitter also functions as a panic switch for use in emergency situations. To use remote panic:

1. Press and hold the Lock or Unlock button on the keychain transmitter for 3 or more seconds. The alarm will immediately sound.
2. To stop the alarm, press and hold the Lock or Unlock button on the transmitter again for 3 seconds. If the button is not pressed, the alarm will automatically stop after 30 seconds. Also if any transmitter button other than the Lock or Unlock button is pressed and released, the Panic mode will be turned off immediately. The normal function of this transmitter button will be suspended during the Panic sounding period. NOTE: While in the Panic mode, pressing and releasing the Lock, or the Unlock buttons will, if the option is installed, lock and unlock the doors respectively. While in the panic mode, anytime the unlock button is pressed, the panic feature will continue for the allotted 30 seconds, however, the security system will be disarmed allowing the vehicle to start.
