2. Setup and Programming

To enable your new Audiovox 4-Button Transmitter to control your Prestige Security System, it must be programmed to the system's receiver. The programming procedure typically involves accessing the system's programming mode and then transmitting a signal from the new remote.

General Programming Steps:

1. Locate the System's Programming Button: This button is often found on the control module of your Prestige Security System. It may be labeled 'Program', 'Valet', or be a small push-button switch. Refer to your vehicle's or security system's specific installation manual for its exact location.
2. Enter Programming Mode: Turn the vehicle's ignition to the ON position. Within a few seconds, press and release the programming button a specific number of times (e.g., three times). The system will usually respond with a chirp or horn honk to indicate it has entered programming mode.
3. Transmit from New Remote: While the system is in programming mode, press and hold the LOCK button on your new Audiovox 4-Button Transmitter for approximately one second, then release. The system should respond with another chirp or honk, confirming the remote has been learned.
4. Program Additional Remotes (if applicable): If you have additional transmitters to program, repeat step 3 for each remote.
5. Exit Programming Mode: Turn the vehicle's ignition to the OFF position. The system will exit programming mode automatically. Test all programmed remotes to ensure proper function.

Note: Specific programming steps may vary slightly depending on your Prestige Security System model. Always consult the original system's manual for precise instructions. If you encounter difficulties, professional installation or assistance from an authorized dealer is recommended.

3. Operation

The Audiovox 4-Button Transmitter provides convenient control over your Prestige Security System's primary functions. The remote features a red LED indicator that illuminates when a button is pressed, confirming signal transmission.

Button Functions:

• Lock Button (Blue Lock Icon): Press to arm the security system and lock the vehicle doors.
• Unlock Button (Blue Unlock Icon): Press to disarm the security system and unlock the vehicle doors.
• Panic / Trunk Release Button (Green Key/Slash Icon): This button typically activates the panic alarm when pressed and held. It may also function as a trunk release if your system supports this feature and is configured accordingly. Consult your system's manual for specific functionality.

4. Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and reliable operation of your Audiovox 4-Button Transmitter.

Battery Replacement:

The transmitter is powered by a small coin-cell battery (type typically CR2032 or similar, though not specified in product data). When the remote's range decreases significantly or the LED indicator fails to light up, it's time to replace the battery.

1. Carefully separate the two halves of the remote casing, often by using a small flat-head screwdriver in the seam.
2. Remove the old battery, noting its orientation (+/-).
3. Insert a new, fresh battery with the correct polarity.
4. Snap the remote casing back together securely.

General Care:

• Avoid exposing the transmitter to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for extended periods, or moisture.
• Do not drop the transmitter or subject it to strong impacts.
• Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

5. Troubleshooting

If your Audiovox 4-Button Transmitter is not functioning as expected, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Remote Not Responding:
  • Check Battery: Replace the battery as described in the Maintenance section. A weak or dead battery is a common cause of remote failure.
  • Reprogram Remote: The remote may have lost its programming. Follow the programming steps in Section 2.
  • Proximity: Ensure you are within the operating range of your security system's receiver.
• Intermittent Operation:
  • This could indicate a low battery. Replace the battery.
  • Environmental interference (e.g., strong radio signals, large metal objects) can sometimes affect remote performance.
• LED Indicator Not Lighting Up: This almost always indicates a dead or incorrectly installed battery. Replace the battery.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact an authorized Audiovox or Prestige dealer for further assistance.
