Operating Instructions
The SPIDER SR-3001 system is operated primarily using the four-button remote control.
Remote Control Functions:
- Lock Button (Arm): Press once to arm the alarm system and lock all doors. The vehicle's lights will flash, and the siren will chirp once to confirm arming. The ignition will be disabled.
- Unlock Button (Disarm): Press once to disarm the alarm system and unlock all doors. The vehicle's lights will flash twice, and the siren will chirp twice to confirm disarming. The ignition will be enabled.
- Trunk Release Button: Press and hold for approximately 3 seconds to open the vehicle's trunk (if connected and supported).
- Car Finder / Panic Button: Press once to activate the car finder function (siren chirps and lights flash). Press and hold for approximately 3 seconds to activate the panic alarm (siren sounds continuously, lights flash). Press any button to deactivate the panic alarm.
Automatic Arming (Passive Arming):
If enabled during installation, the system can automatically arm itself. After turning off the ignition and closing all doors, the system will arm and lock the doors approximately 30 seconds later. The LED indicator will flash to confirm passive arming.
Anti-Assault System:
In an emergency, pressing and holding the Car Finder/Panic button can activate the anti-assault feature, triggering the siren and flashing lights to draw attention. Consult your installer for specific anti-assault programming details.
Valet Mode:
The valet switch allows you to temporarily disable the alarm system's security features while maintaining remote door lock/unlock functionality. This is useful when servicing the vehicle or leaving it with a valet. To activate/deactivate valet mode, refer to your installer's instructions or the full installation manual.
