Operating Instructions for Audiovox AX500 Remote Security 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 Arm button on the key chain transmitter one time.
Silent Arming - Active:	Turn off the ignition, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood lid and trunk lid. Press and hold the Arm button on the key chain transmitter for two seconds.
Arming the System - Passive (Automatic):	Turn off the ignition, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood lid and trunk lid. The dash mounted 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 begins to flash slowly, the parking lights flash one time, the siren sound one chirp. 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, 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 Disarm button on the key chain transmitter.
Silent Disarming:	As you approach the vehicle, press and hold the Disarm button on the key chain transmitter for two seconds.
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.
Intrusion Warning Signals:	This system will inform you if an intrusion attempt has occurred while you were away from the vehicle. Upon disarm, the siren will chirp 4 times and the parking lights will flash 3 times. Enter the vehicle and before turning on the ignition switch, observe the LED flash pattern. 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 the 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 Switch:	The valet switch allows you to temporarily disable the remote starting functions of the system. This is recommended when the vehicle is being serviced. To use valet mode: With the system disarmed, enter the vehicle and turn the ignition key to the on position. Press and hold the valet switch until the dash mounted LED turns solid. To return to normal operation, press and release the valet switch any time the ignition is on. Note: Always remember to return the system to normal operation. This will ensure that the vehicle remains protected at all times.
Eliminating the Normal Arm/Disarm Chirps:	You can eliminate the chirps selectively any time you arm or disarm the system, if the feature has been activated, simply by holding the ARM or 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 ARM / DISARM button for 2 seconds. To do this: Turn the ignition key on then off. Within 10 seconds, press and release valet switch three times. If the chirps were on before you started, then you will hear two 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: Whenever the chirps are bypassed, 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 or unlock button on your key chain transmitter also functions as a panic switch for use in emergency situations. To use remote panic: 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: Press and hold the lock or unlock button again for 3 seconds. If the button is not pressed, the alarm will automatically stop after 30 seconds.
