These are the the typical functions of the factory keyless entry transmitter when operating
the security system. Please remember that the VIP 4000 is a universal add-on security system
for existing keyless entry systems, the exact operations of the VIP 4000 are determined in
some extent to the particular vehicle and/or keyless entry system.

Pressing the transmitter Unlock

the doors, will also disarm the
VIP 4000. The security system
will respond by honking the horn
or chirping the optional siren
twice and turning on the parking
lights for 60 seconds.
TRUNK BUTTON
Pressing the Trunk Release button will also disarm
the security system in most applications, as well as
opening or unlocking the trunk compartment.

in addition to
locking all of the doors, will
also arm the VIP 4000. The
security system will respond
by honking the horn or
chirping the optional siren
once and flashing the parking
lights once.
Active Arming: The VIP 4000 may be actively armed at any time when the ignition
switch is "Off" by using the existing factory keyless entry transmitter to lock the doors. A
passive form of arming, Automatic Last Door Arming, is optional and is discussed on Page
14. The system will respond with one horn honk or one optional siren chirp and one parking
light flash unless the Active Arming Bypass feature is activated.
The VIP 4000 features an Automatic Rearming feature which prevents accidental
disarming. This commonly occurs when the transmitter button is accidentally pressed while
walking away from the vehicle as the keys are being put into a pocket or purse. This feature
is discussed in detail on Page 12.
Active Arming Bypass: Upon active arming (using the transmitter), if the hood and
trunk protection circuit or if an optional sensor is in a triggered state, the VIP 4000 will still
arm. However, it's confirmation response will change to three horn honks (or siren chirps)
and three parking light flashes. This will indicate that the trunk or hood is not secure or that
an optional sensor is in a state that normally occurs only when the sensor detects an intrusion
or shock to the vehicle. This allows securing of the trunk or hood, or inspection of the sensor.
Please note that the other protection circuits, such as the doors and current sensing
(explained on Page 15), are fully operational and will activate the security system if violated.
The system will remain operational except for the bypassed circuit(s). Thus, if the Active
Arming Bypass is activated by a defective sensing switch or optional sensor, the VIP 4000
can still be used until the problem is corrected. If the bypassed circuit is corrected while the
system is armed, protection will resume on that circuit.

DisarmingUsing The Transmitter: The VIP 4000 may be actively disarmed at any time
while the system is armed by using the existing factory keyless entry transmitter to unlock
the doors. The security system will respond by honking the horn or chirping the optional siren
twice and turning on the parking lights. The parking lights will automatically turn off 60
seconds later unless one of the following occur: 1) the lights will turn off 10 seconds after
a door has been opened, or 2) the lights will turn off instantly if the ignition switch is turned
"On". This unique feature lights the area around the vehicle, lighting the way to your car.
Note: If the security system was triggered and reset while you were away from the vehicle
the disarm confirmation changes to four horn honks (or siren chirps) and four parking light
flashes before the parking lights turn on for the normal 60 seconds.
Note: The Automatic Rearming feature will rearm the system 90 seconds after disarming
unless a door is opened. If the Last Door Arming feature has not been selected, this will stop
any further automatic arming.
If the Last Door Arming feature has been selected, however, once a door has been
opened, shutting the door will start this process, indicated by a horn honk (or siren chirp) and
the parking lights flashing off once (the parking lights stay on for 10 seconds after opening
the door). Turning the ignition switch "On" will prevent the security system from arming 30
seconds after the door was shut upon entering the vehicle.
Disarming The System Without The Transmitter: In the event the transmitter is lost,
damaged, or its batteries become exhausted, the Easy Valet
TM
Switch and your ignition key
can be used to disarm the system. The Easy Valet
TM
Switch is a small push-button that is

While the VIP 4000 is armed, the Red LED Status Indicator will be flashing. In addition to
visual deterrence, the LED Status Indicator shows events that have occurred or actions that will
take place in the system's operation. It is normally mounted in a conspicuous location easily seen
from outside the vehicle.
The Starter Interrupt output will also activate. The Starter Interrupt will prevent the engine
from starting when an attempt is made to start the engine. To minimize battery drain, this device
does not draw electrical current unless the ignition switch is turned to the "Start" position.
While armed, the VIP 4000 monitors all protected circuits for an intrusion attempt. If an
optional sensor is utilized, the sensor will also be activated to monitor intrusion attempts. Sensors
are available which include those that monitor shock to the vehicle, detect changes in atmospheric
pressure within the vehicle, and radar sensors that can detect motion inside and outside the vehicle.

located in unabtrusive location accessible to the driver. In addition to providing a method
to disarm the system without the transmitter, this switch also enters the VIP 4000 into Valet
Mode,
which is discussed on Page 9. To disarm, follow this procedure:
STEP 1. With the system in the armed condition, enter via the driver's door (be
aware that the security system will trigger the instant the door is opened,
sounding the horn or optional siren and flashing the parking lights).
STEP 2. Use the ignition key to turn "on" the ignition switch.
STEP 3. Within 5 seconds, press the Easy Valet Switch. The security system will
instantly disarm.
