Security System Operation  
Using The Transmitter To Arm The Security System  
1. Exit the vehicle and close all entrances.  
2. Press and release the LOCK button on the transmitter. The security system will respond as follows:  
A. The horn/siren will chirp one time.  
B. The LED indicator will begin to flash at a steady rate.  
C. The parking lights will flash one time.  
D. All protected entrances are armed.  
The security system is now fully armed!  
Automatically Arming the Security System  
Arming the Security System without Using The Transmitter  
Note: The following information is valid only if your security system has been programmed to  
automatically arm.  
1. Turn off the ignition key and exit the vehicle.  
2. Close all protected entrances. After the last protected entrance is closed the horn/siren will chirp  
one time and the LED indicator will begin to flash fast. The fast flashing LED indicates that the  
automatic arming timer is counting down and the security system will become armed within 30  
seconds. After 30 seconds has passed, the security system will respond in the following manner:  
A. The horn/siren will chirp one time.  
B. The LED indicator will begin to flash slower.  
C. The parking lights will flash one time.  
D. All protected entrances are armed.  
Note 1: Re-opening a protected entrance before the system becomes armed will stop the arming  
timer. After closing the entrance the timer will begin counting again from zero.  
Note 2: If the vehicle has a delayed interior lighting system, the automatic arming timer will start  
counting after the interior lighting has turned itself off. This could add up to 45 seconds to the total  
automatic arming countdown time. (Up to 75 seconds total arming delay)  
The security system is now fully armed!  
Disarming the Security System Using the Transmitter  
1. Press and release the UNLOCK button on the transmitter. The security system will respond as follows:  
A. The horn/siren will chirp two times.  
B1. The LED indicator will be off. (Only if Auto Arming is programmed Off”)  
B2. The LED indicator will be flashing very fast. (Only if Auto Arming is programmed On)  
C. The parking lights will flash two times.  
Note: If you are disarming the security system after it has been triggered and the horn/siren is  
sounding, the disarm chirps are automatically deleted.

Disarming the Security System Using the Transmitter  
Disarming The Security System Using the Passive Transmitter  
(M5 Security System only)  
A. The passive transmitter may be used as a normal transmitter and/or as a passive transmitter.  
B. For passive unlocking/disarm operations to operate, the slide switch must be in the on” position.  
C. With the security system armed, walk toward your vehicle and the security system will respond  
the same as pushing the unlock button on the transmitter.  
D. Anytime the passive-unlocking/disarm feature is not desired move the switch to off” position.  
Operation Notes:  
For total passive operations and conveniences, the security system alarm receiver module should  
be programmed for both Automatic Arming and with Automatic Door Locking. This will allow the  
security system to automatically arm as you exit and to automatically disarm as you approach the  
vehicle. The vehicle will remained disarmed and unlocked while you are moving near the vehicle.  
After the passive disarm signals disappears the system will begin auto arming again etc.  
With the auto arming and auto locking feature programmed on, the vehicle will re-arm and re-lock  
the doors 45 seconds after the last passive disarm signal was received.  
When you manually depress the Lock/Arm button on the passive transmitter, after exiting the  
vehicle, the alarm receiver module will not respond to a passive disarm signal for 60 seconds.  
This avoids unwanted disarm/unlocking as you walk away from the vehicle.  
Warning- The security system will not re-arm or re-lock the doors unless the auto arming and  
auto re-locking features are programmed On. If you do not want passive arming/locking  
features programmed On, we suggest you always keep the passive slide switch turned off.  
The security system is now disarmed!  
Valet/Override Switch Operation  
The valet switch is used to override the security system in the event that the transmitters are lost or  
fail to operate and to put the security system in non-operational mode (valet) for vehicle servicing etc.  
Override Operation: (Security System is Armed)  
1. Enter the vehicle (The security system will begin sounding at this point)  
2. Place the ignition key into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the “on” position.  
3. Within 5 seconds of turning the ignition key on, place the valet switch to the on” position.  
4. The horn/siren will stop sounding.  
5. The LED indicator will be solid red.  
The security system is overridden and is now in the valet mode!  
Note 1: If the valet switch is already in the on” position when you turn on” the ignition key, the  
override function will be bypassed. Turn “off” the ignition key, place the valet switch in the off”  
position and try again.  
Note 2: If you fail to place the valet switch to the on” position within 5 seconds of turning on” the  
ignition key, the override function will be locked out. Place the valet switch in the off” position, turn  
off” the ignition key and try again.

Valet/Override Switch Operation (Continued)  
Valet Operation: (The security system is already disarmed)  
1. Turn the ignition key to the “on” position  
2. Place the valet switch to the on” position.  
3a. The LED will be on solid indicating that the security system is in the valet mode.  
(Ignition key “On)  
3b. The LED will flash once every 5 seconds indicating the security system in in valet mode.  
(Ignition key “Off”)  
How to Get Back to Security System Activation Mode:  
1. Place the ignition key switch to the on” position.  
2. Place the valet switch to the off” position.  
3. Place the ignition key switch back to the off” position. You will notice that the LED indicator  
will be off. This indicates that you have exited the valet mode and your security system will  
operate normally.  
User Discretion Silent Arming  
Your Marksman security system can be instructed to become armed or disarmed without the horn/siren  
chirps by the remote transmitter. To operate this feature at any time, simply press and release the aux  
button (3) then press the LOCK or UNLOCK button to arm or disarm your security system without the  
chirp indications.  
60 Second Re-Arming  
If your Marksman security system has become triggered, the horn/siren will sound for 60 seconds and  
then stop and re-set to a fully armed condition.  
Note: If a protected entrance is left open, your Marksman security system will remain triggered for two  
more 60 second cycles then fully re-arm excluding the door input trigger. (Door input trigger is no  
longer functional) Closing the entrance will re-set the door input trigger within 7 seconds.  
5
 
Remote Panic  
Press and hold the PANIC button (4) for more than 3 seconds and the security system will respond  
in the following manner:  
A. The horn/siren will begin sounding.  
B. The parking lights will begin flashing.  
To turn off the panic alarm, press and release the UNLOCK button on the transmitter. The horn/siren  
will stop sounding and the parking lights will stop flashing.  
Note: If you do not turn off the panic feature with the transmitter, the panic alarm will sound for 60  
seconds and then turn off by itself.  
Secondary RF Protection Mode  
Every time you disarm your Marksman security system with your transmitter, the security system will  
start an RF protection mode countdown. This is a timed secondary protection mode to insure that the  
radio signal used to disarm the security system was from your transmitter. After the system is disarmed  
by radio signal, it will count down for 60 seconds and then become re-armed if no one enters the  
vehicle.  
Note: The feature is only active when the security system has been programmed to automatically arm.  
Alarm Mode Indicators  
1. The LED indicator will provide information on 9 modes of security system operation:  
LED is off = Alarm is disarmed.  
LED is flashing = Alarm is armed.  
LED is flashing in a 1 flash hold sequence = Tamper warning, alarm was triggered by the  
current sensing sensor.  
LED flashing in a 2 flash hold sequence = Tamper warning, alarm was triggered by the hood or trunk.  
LED flashing in a 3 flash hold sequence = Tamper warning, alarm was triggered by an opened door.  
LED flashing in a 4 flash hold sequence = Tamper warning, alarm was triggered by an electronic  
sensor.  
LED is on steady = Alarm is in the valet mode. (Ignition key is on)  
LED flashes once every 5 seconds = Alarm is in the valet mode. (Ignition key is off)  
LED is flashing fast = Automatic arming timer is counting down or RF tamper rearming timer is  
counting down.  
2. The horn/siren will provide information on four modes of security system operation.  
One horn/siren chirp = Security system is armed.  
Two horn/siren chirps = Security system is disarmed.  
Four horn/siren chirps = Tamper warning + security system is disarmed.

Upgrade Options:  
Option #1: Remote Power Door Lock/Unlock Control  
Note: Your vehicle must have an electronic door locking system for this feature to operate.  
Installing option #1 will allow the remote transmitter supplied with your Marksman security system to  
lock and unlock your vehicle’s doors as it arms and disarms your security system.  
Option #2: Remote Trunk/Hatch Release (Channel #2)  
Installing option #2 will allow the remote transmitter supplied with your security system to open your  
vehicles trunk or rear hatch. Pressing the AUX ” button on the transmitter for 2 seconds will open the  
existing power trunk/hatch release mechanism.  
Note: Vehicles that are not factory equipped with an electronic trunk release system will require  
additional parts than a vehicle with a factory installed trunk release system.  
Option #3: Dome Light Illumination (M5 Model Only)  
Installing option #3 will allow your Marksman security system to turn on your vehicles interior  
illumination system at the time the security system is disarmed by the remote transmitter. The interior  
lighting will remain on for 30 seconds after the security system is disarmed. Turning on the ignition  
key will turn off the interior illumination before 30 seconds.  
Option #4: Single Zone Shock Sensor  
Installing option #4 will increase the level of security provided by your Marksman security system. If  
the shock sensor becomes activated the security system will immediately trigger your security system  
by sounding the horn/siren and flashing the parking lights.  
Option #5: Starter Disable Relay  
Adding option #5 will increase the level of protection that your Marksman security system can offer.  
When the starter disable relay is installed, the vehicles engine will not crank when the alarm system is  
in the armed mode.  
Option #6: Unlock Driver’s Door First (Requires option #1 to be installed. Applies to M5 model only)  
Installing option #6 will allow your Marksman security system to unlock only the drivers door upon  
disarming the security system. To unlock the remaining doors, press the UNLOCK button once again  
within 3 seconds of disarming the security system. The remaining doors will become unlocked.  
Option #7: Dual Zone Shock Sensor  
Installing option #7 will increase the level of security provided by your Marksman security system.  
Zone #1 of the dual zone shock sensor will detect lighter non-threatening disturbances that would  
normally set off most sensors and trigger the security system. If zone #1 is activated the security  
system will emit a single chirp from the horn/siren. This single chirp is a pre-warning if a would be  
thief is attempting to enter your vehicle. Zone #2 detects heavier impacts that are considered  
threatening and immediately triggers your security system by sounding the horn/siren and flashing  
the parking lights.

Upgrade Options: (Continued)  
Option #8: 5-Button Transmitter  
The optional 5-button transmitter provides complete control of operating (2) different vehicles  
equipped with Marksman M4 or M5 security systems using the dedicated button mode. This is an  
optional transmitter only and is not included with any alarm model. The operation is the same as the  
normal non-passive transmitter except it has a momentary side switch for second vehicle operation  
1. For primary vehicle operation, simply depress the desired transmitter button as usual.  
2. For second vehicle operation, depress the side button first , then within 5 seconds, depress the  
desired transmitter button.  
Programmable Features  
The following is a brief description of the operation of each programmable feature. Any adjustment to  
the operation of these features must be performed by the dealer who installed your Marksman Security  
System. These features are not user adjustable.  
Ignition Key Controlled Door Lock/Unlock: (Remote door lock/unlock option must be installed)  
With this feature activated, the door lock system of the vehicle will become locked 3 seconds after the  
ignition key is turned to the on position (All doors). When the ignition key is turned to the off position,  
the door locks will immediately become unlocked.  
Note: This feature has 3 modes in which it can operate. Mode #1 operates as explained above and is  
the most common operation. Model #2 locks the doors when the ignition key is turned on but does not  
unlock the doors when the ignition key is turned off. In mode #3 the ignition key locking feature is off.  
Chirp Status Indicator Delete: (Permanent Chirp Delete)  
De-activating the chirp indication system will eliminate the arm and disarm chirp indicators. For your  
safety, the tamper warning chirp indicator will always be active.  
Automatic Arming of Security System:  
When the automatic arming of security system feature is programmed on, the security system will  
automatically become armed 30 seconds after the last protected entrance is closed without requiring  
a signal from the remote transmitter. (Ignition switch must be off)  
Automatic Door Locking: (Remote door lock/unlock option must be installed)  
If it is desired to have the vehicle’s power door locking system become locked at the same time the  
security system becomes armed by the automatic arming of security system feature, the automatic  
door locking programming should be on.  
Safety Illumination:  
Programming on the Safety Illumination System will proved the vehicle user with a lighted pathway to  
and from the vehicle when the security system is armed and disarmed. When programmed on, the  
parking lights and the dome light will remain on for 12 seconds after the security system is armed  
providing a lighted pathway while leaving the vehicle. In addition, the parking lights and dome light  
will remain on for 30 seconds after the security system is disarmed immediately drawing attention to  
your vehicle while providing a fully lighted vehicle interior and exterior.

Programmable Features: (Continued)  
Automatic Carjacking Alarm:  
Programming on the automatic carjacking feature allow the alarm system to protect the driver of  
the vehicle when the vehicle is in use. If an attempt is made to HIJACK the vehicle, the enclosed  
sequence of events will take place. It is strongly advised that you perform the enclosed test to  
keep yourself familiar with the operation of this system as well as insuring that the system is  
operating properly.  
1. Enter the vehicle and close all the entrances. (If the vehicle has domelight delay, wait for the  
domelight to go out before beginning the test)  
2. Set the ignition key to the on position. Wait 5 seconds and open the driver’s door then close it.  
3. Within 50 seconds the horn/siren will begin to beep (Short Pulses). This is pre-warning that the  
carjacking alarm will become fully triggered within 10 seconds.  
Note: At this point, the carjacking alarm can be disabled by setting the valet switch to the on  
position.  
4. Within 10 seconds, the carjacking alarm will be fully triggered. The horn/siren will sound normally,  
the parking lights will begin flashing and the starter disable will be engaged.  
5. Turn the ignition key off, then back on  
6. Set the valet switch to the on position and the siren/horn will stop sounding  
and the parking lights will stop flashing.  
WARNING! When the carjacking alarm is programmed on, every time the ignition key is on and a  
door gets opened, the 50 second timer will begin counting. If a door is open (domelight is on)  
before the ignition key is turned on, the 50 second timer will not start counting until the door is  
closed and re-opened.  
Maintenance  
System Maintenance:  
The only maintenance that your Marksman security system requires is a periodic check of it’s  
operation to be sure that all functions are operating properly. The batteries supplied with your  
transmitter will usually last about 1 year. Heavier usage will shorten battery life. Reduced transmitter  
range is usually a sign that the battery in the transmitter is becoming weak and should be replaced.  
Battery Replacement:  
Replacement batteries for your transmitter are available in most drug stores and camera shops. To  
replace the battery, remove the small Phillips screw from the transmitter case and pull apart the top  
and bottom case halves. Remove the battery from it’s holder. Insert the new battery in place of the old  
one observing the batteries +/- polarity. Gently snap the top and bottom case halves together (DO NOT  
force them together) and replace the Phillips screw (DO NOT over tighten the screw)  
Replacement Transmitters:  
In the event that the transmitter supplied with your Marksman security system becomes damaged or  
lost, return to the installation facility that installed your security system to purchase a new one.
