Operating Instructions for Prestige APS25CH Remote Alarm System
Arming the System - Active:
  1. Turn off the ignition, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood lid and trunk lid.
  2. Press and release the Arm/Lock button on the key chain transmitter one time. 
Arming the System - Passive (Automatic):
  1. Turn the ignition key off, exit the vehicle, and close all doors. The LED will begin to flash rapidly, 30 seconds later the system is armed.
  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.
  3. At the end of the passive arming cycle the LED begins to flash slowly, the parking lights flash one time, the siren/horn sounds one chirp and the door locks are optional. If the siren did not sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned off.
Protection while the system is armed:
  • Opening any protected door 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 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 30 second alarm cycle, attracting visual attention to the vehicle.
  • Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle's starting circuit will be bypassed. If the thief should choose to ignore the siren/horn, the vehicle cannot be started.
  • Any strong impact 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:
  1. As you approach the vehicle, press and release the Arming button on the key chain transmitter.
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 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 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, trunk or an optional sensor that has been connected to zone 2.
  • 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 / 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:

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

Note: Always remember to return the vehicle to the valet off position. This will ensure that the vehicle remains protected at all times.
Eliminating the Arm/Disarm Chirps:

To eliminate chirps:

  1. Turn the ignition key on then off.
  2. Within 10 seconds, press and release the valet switch 3 times.
  3. If the chirps were on before you started, then you will hear 2 chirps indicating they have been turned off.
  4. If the chirps were off before you started, then you hear one chirp indicating they have been turned on.
Remote Panic Operation:

The Lock or Unlock button on your key chain 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 key chain transmitter for 3 or more seconds. The alarm will immediately sound.

To stop the alarm:

  1. Press and release the Arming button on the transmitter. If the button is not pressed, the alarm will automatically stop after 30 seconds.
Trunk Release:

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 Window Close
  • Remote Car Starter

To operate the accessory associated with Channel 3:

  1. Press and hold the smaller button of your keychain transmitter for 3 seconds.
  2. If the system has been programmed differently by your installation center, this output may be accessed by pressing buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously for 3 seconds.

Note: This feature will not operate when the vehicle's ignition key is turned on.
