In this mode you can activate, or arm, the system by pressing the button on your transmitter. When the system arms, you will hear a short horn honk and see the parking lights flash once. While the system is armed, the status LED will flash about twice a second, showing that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second short horn honk after arming, and see the status LED flashing in groups, see Diagnostics section. This extra short horn honk is called Bypass Notification. automatic (passive) arming The system also can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive arming, it will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off and the system "sees" you leave the vehicle by opening and closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-second passive-arming countdown, the status LED will flash twice as fast as it does when the system is armed. When the system arms, you will hear a short horn honk and the parking lights will flash once. The doors lock (if connected and programmed for passive locking). note: Passive arming may qualify for a higher insurance discount. Check with your insurance agent © 2005 directed electronics, inc. all rights reserved 5 note: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switchprotected trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm. Additionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over. silent mode To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use Silent ModeTM. Simply press for less than one second before arming or disarming, and the confirmation chirp(s) will be eliminated for that one operation only. If you want the arm/disarm chirps turned off permanently, your dealer can do this for you. note: The Warn Away® response to lighter impacts is bypassed if the system is armed using Silent Mode. This ensures that no chirps will be emitted by the siren in an area you want chirp-free. The system is still fully capable of triggering. Only the Warn Away® response is bypassed. armed protection When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows: Light impacts to your vehicle will trigger the warn away signal. The system will pulse the horn and flash the parking lights for a few seconds. Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered sequence is 30 or 60 seconds of constant horn honking and flashing parking lights. If a door is opened, the system will immediately start pulsing the horn and flashing the parking lights. Three seconds later, the horn output changes to a continuous blast. This progres- 6 © 2005 directed electronics, inc. all rights reserved sive response gives you time to disarm the system with your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door while the system is armed, while still providing instant response (even if the door is immediately closed). note: If programmed for instant trigger, the horn will output full trigger response after the ...
