2. How does my dual technology system work?
The Essex Keyless Entry Keypad & Keyfob system is designed to provide two convenient methods to safely
and securely enter your vehicle without using keys. You can also use the keypad or keyfob to unlock the
trunk, open the windows or sunroof, or to actuate other accessories. If your vehicle is equipped with an
alarm system, it will be disarmed when you enter a valid user code or press the keyfob Unlock Key. You can
use the keypad or keyfob, whichever your prefer, or whichever is more convenient at the moment.
When you first touch the keypad the keys light up. When you enter your code the door unlocks and the
vehicle's interior safety light goes on (if connected by your installer).
If you want to unlock a power actuated trunk simply press the 7/8 Key on the keypad within 5 seconds of
entering
a valid code or press the keyfob Trunk Key. If you wait
until the keypad double beep, or until the keypad lights go out, you will have to start
over by entering your personal user code plus the 7/8 Key (or 3/4 Key, or 9/0 Key, depending
on how your
installer has connected the three keypad Auxiliary Outputs)
to open the trunk or actuate another accessory. If 25 invalid digits are pressed on the keypad in sequence,
the system locks out code entry and activates the code tamper alarm by sounding a steady tone and
flashing the interior lights and keypad for approximately 30 seconds. Once the alarm stops, you can enter a
valid user code to unlock the vehicle.
3. Using Codes
There are two types of Codes available in the KE-1601: The Master User Code (1) and Optional User Codes
(5). The Master User Code operates all functions available in the system plus allows you to add, change,
and delete Optional User Codes.
How to enter the Master User Code
