Setup and Programming

Your new Code Alarm keyfob remote must be programmed to your existing compatible Code Alarm system before it can be used. This process links the remote to your vehicle's security system.

General Programming Steps:

While specific programming steps can vary slightly depending on your Code Alarm system model, the general procedure often involves placing the vehicle's alarm system into a programming mode. It is crucial to refer to the original installation manual or user guide for your specific Code Alarm vehicle security system for precise programming instructions.

• Locate Programming Button/Switch: Many Code Alarm systems have a hidden programming button or switch, often located near the control module under the dashboard.
• Enter Programming Mode: Typically, this involves turning the ignition key to the ON position, then pressing and holding the programming button or cycling the ignition a specific number of times. The system may respond with a chirp or light flash to indicate it's in programming mode.
• Transmit Remote Code: While in programming mode, press a button on the new keyfob remote. The system should respond with another chirp or flash, confirming that the remote has been successfully programmed.
• Exit Programming Mode: Turn off the ignition or wait for the system to automatically exit programming mode.

If you do not have the original manual for your Code Alarm system, please contact a professional installer or the manufacturer for assistance with programming.

Operating Instructions

The Code Alarm 2-Button Keyfob Remote provides convenient control over your vehicle's security system. The functions are typically assigned as follows:

• Top Button (Lock/Unlock Icon):
  • Single Press: Typically arms the security system and locks the vehicle doors.
  • Press Again (within a few seconds): May disarm the security system and unlock the vehicle doors. Consult your system's manual for exact behavior.
• Bottom Button (Key Icon):
  • Single Press: Often activates an auxiliary function, such as trunk release, remote start (if equipped), or panic mode (if held down). The specific function depends on how your system is configured.

Always refer to your specific Code Alarm system's user manual for detailed information on button functions and system responses.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement:

The keyfob remote is powered by a small coin-cell battery (e.g., CR2032, though specific type not provided, check existing battery). If the remote's range decreases significantly or it stops responding, the battery may need replacement.

1. Carefully open the remote casing. This may require a small flat-head screwdriver or a prying tool. Look for a small notch on the side of the remote.
2. Note the orientation of the old battery before removing it.
3. Insert a new battery of the same type, ensuring the positive (+) side faces the correct direction (usually upwards).
4. Snap the remote casing back together securely.

General Care:

• Avoid exposing the remote to water or excessive moisture.
• Do not expose the remote to extreme temperatures (hot or cold).
• Keep the remote away from strong magnetic fields.
• Clean the remote with a soft, dry cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
