Hello, I am hoping someone can help me. I have a 2000 Hyundai with a Checkmate alarm system,, FCC ID # JT3KT7A. I shut the system off about five years ago and haven't used it since. When trying to jump start my battery today, I accidentally turned the system on. The problem is it's been so long since I used it, I can't remember how to shut the system off again. Obviously, it operates through the ignition but I don't know any more than that. We have only one fob that works so I want to turn the system off as soon as possible. I can't get any information or manuals on Checkmate on the Web; can someone please tell me how to shut this system off? Thank you!

you MAY be able to put it into a valet mode. can you find a programming push button under the dash.

valet procedures differ from company to company but turn IGN on and hold the button. see if that does anything

Thanks to everyone; I decided it was easier to just remove the system since I wasn't using it anymore anyway. Personally, I think Checkmate was a lousy system; no wonder they're out of business.
