I signed up for that and there's indeed a lot of info available but I
don't see any section regarding various functions, nor a manual per se..
Thanks anyway,

Also, it states in the manual that the second push arms the security
system which is indicated by the beep of the horn.

Actually (and I sold my 2000 Accord a couple months ago, so I no longer
have the owner's manual), I believe the first push locks and arms--as
shown by the blinking light on the dash. No second push is required.
This is how my 2002 Odyssey works, for sure. The horn is just a
confirmation.
In fact, you don't even need to use the remote transmitter (this is the
EX models, now). Simply lock the doors from the outside using the key,
and 15 seconds later the security system arms itself. This is
documented in the owner's manual.

Dictionary.com says:
fob n.
1. A small pocket at the front waistline of a man's trousers or in the
front of a vest, used especially to hold a watch.
2. 1. A short chain or ribbon attached to a pocket watch and worn
hanging in front of the vest or waist.
2. An ornament or seal attached to such a chain or ribbon.
[Probably of Germanic origin.]
----------------------------------------------------------------
The key for my '03 Accord includes a transmitter, but I would never
think of it as a fob.

The security system is set the first time - the "second push"
functionality is just to reassure jittery owners.
Quote, " When you push the lock button a second time within 5 seconds
after you have locked the doors, the horn will sound once to *verify*
that the security system will be set."

It says that "all doors lock". The alarm *does* set, though, on the
first press.
