Placement and Use of Components CM6200
IMPORTANT: The placement and use of components are critical to the performance of this system.
Antenna and Cable
Firstech antennas are calibrated for horizontal installation at the top of the windshield. The cable that connects
the antenna to the control module must be free from any pinches or kinks. Installing the antenna in areas other
than the windshield may adversely affect the effective transmitting distance of the remotes.
Secure Valet Switch
The optional Secure Valet Switch prevents the alarm from being put into valet mode through cycling the igni-
tion on/off five times. The Secure Valet Switch is more secure than traditional toggle / valet switches because it
requires a two digit code. To program this feature you must perform the following procedures:
STEP 1:
Turn on Option 3-10-III.
STEP 2: Turn ignition key to the “on” position.
STEP 3:
Hold down the valet switch for 1.5 seconds. The LED on the valet switch will begin to flash rapidly with successful comple-
tion of this step.
STEP 4:
Enter the first digit of the desired two-digit pass code by depressing the switch the number of times that coordinates with the
desired first number. For example, to enter 3, depress the switch 3 times, then wait.
STEP 5:
The LED will confirm the first number by flashing BLUE slowly. Once the LED begins to flash rapidly, enter your second
number by repeating step 4.
STEP 6: Turn the ignition off - the Secure Valet Switch is now programmed. Follow steps 3 – 5 to enter your Secure Valet code.
**The first two digits of the RPS unlock/disarm pass code will be the default pass code for the Secure Valet
(you do not need to program them independently).
Thermister (Temperature Sensor)
Every 2 Way LCD Firstech RF kit includes an optional thermister, which must be plugged into the 2 pin port of
the control module for use. This plug is blue on the CM6000. The use of the thermister allows the 2 Way remote
to display the vehicle’s interior temperature on the remote LCD (liquid crystal display) as well as permitting the
vehicle to start with timed Hot or Cold starting; see options 2-05, 2-07 and 2-08. IMPORTANT: New thermister
plugs are blue 2 pin connectors on the CM6 series but old white plug thermistors will still work.
Hood Pin
The hood pin switch triggers the alarm in the event the hood is opened while the alarm is armed. The hood pin
also doubles as an important safety feature that prevents the remote start from engaging while the hood is open.
