Operating Instructions for the Prestige APS610C Alarm Security System

Operating the Prestige APS610C Alarm 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/Lock 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 Arm/Lock button on the key chain transmitter for two seconds.
Arming the System - Passive (Automatic):	Turn the ignition key off, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood lid, and trunk lid. The LED will begin to flash rapidly, 30 seconds later the system is armed. 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 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, 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/Unlock button on the key chain transmitter.
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.
Silent Disarming:	As you approach the vehicle, press and hold the Arm/Disarm button on the key chain 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 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 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 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: From the disarmed condition, turn the ignition switch to the "on" position. Press and hold the valet push-button switch until the dash mounted LED turns on. To return to the normal mode of operation, press and release the valet switch any time the ignition is on. Note: Always remember to exit the Valet mode after servicing to ensure that the vehicle remains protected at all times. To override the system: Open the vehicle door, the alarm will sound. Turn the ignition switch to the on position. Within 5 seconds, press and release the valet switch. The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the disarmed mode. You can now start and operate the vehicle normally.
Eliminating the Arm/Disarm Chirps:	You can eliminate the chirps selectively any time you arm or disarm the system simply by holding the Arm/Disarm button for two seconds. This will prevent the siren/horn for one lock or unlock cycle. 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 two seconds. To eliminate chirps: Turn the ignition key on then off. Within 10 seconds, press and release the valet switch 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 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: 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 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. During the panic mode, the Lock and Unlock buttons can be used to lock and unlock the doors, if the option is installed, however, once the unlock/disarm button is pressed, the vehicle's starter inhibit device (where installed) will be disabled allowing the vehicle to start.
