How to interpret the LED status indicator The LED on your car's dashboard or console will inform you of the system status: LED Condition Meaning Off System is disarmed and in normal operating mode (i.e., valet mode is off) On Valet mode is on, the vehicle can be driven or serviced without having to disarm Flashing (ignition off) System is armed and protecting your vehicle Flashing (ignition on) Pause between flashes Anti-carjacking feature was activated - 20-second countdown to engine shutdown: Enter your disarming code IMMEDIATELY Either a malfunction (see page 15) or an intrusion was attempted (see page 17) High-output Medallion™ Siren All the electronics for the system's siren are built into your Concept 50's main control unit, rather than the siren itself. This protects the circuitry from engine heat, dirt and exposure to the elements (in contrast, the electronics of other alarm companies' sirens are part of the siren itself and, therefore, far more susceptible to failure). In addition to greatly enhancing long-term reliability, your Concept 50 also provides these additional features: Personalized Siren Sounds: Most alarm sirens have a single "warble" tone. A few offer "six-tone" sirens that either cannot be adjusted or require the physical destruction of certain circuit wires in order to change the sounds (the change is permanent and cannot be changed again). Your Concept 50 Medallion Siren circuitry is different. As shipped from the factory, the siren sounds six different alarm sound patterns. However, you may turn any of the six different alarm sound patterns on or off to create a different combination of sound patterns. In all, there are 64 different combinations you may select. You may set your own Personalized Siren Sounds so if you hear a siren at a distance, you will know for sure whether it is your car or someone else's. See User-selectable features on pages 19-21. QuietChirps™: You can control the volume of the normal arm/disarm chirps. As shipped from the factory, your system issues full-volume chirp acknowledgments. If you prefer, you may reduce the chirp volume to a level that is clearly audible, yet less obtrusive. See the User-selectable features section on pages 19-21. Long-term chirp silencing: Whenever you wish, you may silence your Concept 50's arm/disarm chirps until you decide to restore them. The parking light flashes will continue to provide visual confirmation of remote controlled arming and disarming. See User-selectable features on pages 19-21, also see the Remote QuickAccess features on page 16. Remote controlled chirp muting: Remote controlled chirp muting capabilities are especially valuable when parking late at night in a quiet residential area. To arm or disarm silently, simply press button 3 (channel 3) on your remote control instead of the usual button 1 (channel 1). Siren duration: When the system detects an intrusion attempt, the alarm is set to sound for 30 seconds. However, if you prefer, you may change it to 60 seconds. See the User-selectable features section on pages 19-21. 18
