Mount the LED

Your security system comes with a flashing red LED that you can mount on your dash as a visual deterrent against thieves. Its purpose is to warn would-be thieves that a security system is in place and ready to wail if they attempt to break in.

1. Choose a spot in your dash or center console to mount the flashing LED warning light. It should be a highly visible area that can be seen from both sides of the vehicle.
2. Drill a hole for the LED, mount the assembly, and run the connection wire back to the alarm brain.

A bright, blinking LED will go a long way to discourage would-be thieves.

Valet Switch

1. The valet switch lets you shut down the system when you leave your vehicle for service or valet parking so you won't have to leave your remote control with a stranger.
2. The switch is usually nothing more than a simple momentary button that connects to the brain via a single wire. Mount the switch out of sight under the dash so that it won't be obvious to a thief, but convenient enough that you can reach it when you need it.
3. Most alarms require that the valet switch be activated only with the alarm disarmed and the key on. Not following the procedure called for in the owner's manual may result in a malfunction.
4. Be sure to test the valet switch connection before finishing up the installation. You'll need to use it later when programming the system.
