Car Alarms: car alarm, valet mode, kia sportage

Question
i recently changed the battery in my 2001 kia sportage, and upon installing the new battery my car alarm sounds off and want stop unless i redisconnect the battery neg cable , i want to know what can i do to just bypass it or disarm it. i tried to do the  key method by locking and unlocking the driver door but no luck.  i  have been hearing about some velet button but can not locate it i also notice the radio do not come either  but the interor light works fine  though  please help

Answer
Ok, an installer would place the velet switch in a semi
hidden area. I'd look under the dash area
for a button or, a toggle switch. When you locate it,
turn on the ignition key, press and hold in the
button (little spring loaded micro button, red or
black possibly), until the alarm chirps 1 time.
This should over ride the system, and only the
keyless entry part, if installed, would still be
operating.

The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid.=VALET/OVERIDE

This stops the alarm except for the keyless
entry if installed. Once in Valet mode,
it will allow the car to start and operate
like there was no alarm at all.

The next step is if wanting to remove it,
you contact a local technician to
locate it, and affect neccesary service
for you.

That should solve the troubles.

Let me know what you discover.
