Battery Information

The 2-way remote 2621-TX*, is powered by two coin cell batteries (CR-2016), and the 1-way remote 2611-TX, is powered by a single coin cell battery (CR-2032). Operating range diminishes as battery charge depletes.

Low Battery Alert

When unlocking the vehicle using a remote control with a low battery charge, the system provides a notiﬁcation by emitting a third horn honk output (if connected). If conﬁrmation chirps are programmed off, the system still emits one horn honk when unlocking. After performing a command with the remote control, several beeps play to indicate the battery/batteries need replacing. Once the alerts begin, the remote control will remain operational for several days but the battery/batteries should be replaced at the earliest opportunity or failure to control the system may occur.

Battery Replacement

ing (if present).

2. Use a small ﬂat blade screwdriver and insert it into the slot

located along the bottom of the remote, near the key ring.

the holding clip. Orient the new battery for the correct polar-

ity and insert into holding clip.

4. Realign the case parts and snap together by pressing ﬁrmly

and evenly on the front and back. Reinstall screw (if present).

Government Regulations

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesirable operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television, which can be determined by turning the equipment OFF and ON, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that

to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.

Remote Controls

To satisfy FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, this device should be used in hand-held, hand operated configurations only. The device and its antenna must maintain a separation distance of 20 cm or more from the person’s body, except for the hand and wrists, to satisfy RF exposure compliance. This device is designed to be used in a person’s hands and its operating configurations do not support normal transmissions while it is carried in pockets or holsters next to a person’s body.

Antenna

To satisfy FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the device and its antenna must maintain a separation distance of 20 cm or more from the person’s body, except for the hand and wrists, to satisfy RF exposure compliance.

Page 13

This device complies with the Industry Canada Radio Standards Specification RSS 210. Its use is authorized only on a no-interference, no-protection basis; in other words, this device must not be used if it is determined that it causes harmful interference to services authorized by IC. In addition, the user of this device must accept any radio interference that may be received, even if this interference could affect the operation of the device.

WARNING!

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the

party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this device.

Page 14

Warning! Safety First

Please read the safety warnings below before proceeding. Improper use of the product may be dangerous or illegal.

Installation

Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be performed by an authorized AstroStart dealer.

Remote Start Capable

When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command signal from the remote control transmitter. Therefore, never operate the system in an enclosed area or partially enclosed area without ventilation (such as a garage). When parking in an enclosed or partially enclosed area or when having the vehicle serviced, the remote start system must be disabled using the “Start Valet” procedure found under “Valet Modes” in this guide. It is the user’s sole responsibility to properly handle and keep out of reach from children all remote control remote controls to assure that the system does not unintentionally remote start the vehicle. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE USER INSTALL A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN THE LIVING AREAS ADJACENT TO THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEADING FROM ADJACENT LIVING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PARTIALLY ENCLOSED VEHICLE STORAGE AREA MUST BE CLOSED AT ALL TIMES. These precautions are the sole responsibility of the user.

Manual Transmission Vehicles

Remote starters on manual transmission vehicles operate differently than those with automatic transmission because you must leave your car in neutral. You must read this Owner’s Guide to familiarize yourself with the proper procedures regarding manual transmission remote starters. If you have any questions, ask your authorized AstroStart dealer.

Page 15

Before remote starting a manual transmission vehicle, be sure to:

• Leave the vehicle in neutral and be sure no one is standing in front

or behind the vehicle.

• Only remote start on a flat surface.

• Have the parking brake fully engaged.

WARNING!

It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure the parking/ emergency brake properly functions. Failure to do so can result in personal injury or property damage. We recommend the owner have the parking / emergency brake system inspected and adjusted by a qualified automotive shop biannually.

Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode of operation may result in property damage, personal injury, or death. (1) Never remotely start the vehicle with the vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the keys in the ignition. The user must also have the neutral safety feature of the vehicle periodically checked, wherein the vehicle must not remotely start while the car is in gear. This testing should be performed by an authorized AstroStart dealer in accordance with the Safety Check outlined in the product installation guide. If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote start operation immediately and consult with the authorized AstroStart dealer to fix the problem.

After the remote start module has been installed, contact your authorized dealer to have him or her test the remote start module by performing the Safety Check outlined in the product installation guide. If the vehicle starts when performing the Neutral Safety Shutdown Circuit test, the remote start unit has not been properly installed. The remote start module must be removed or the installer must properly reinstall the remote start system so that the vehicle does not start in gear. All installations must be performed by an authorized AstroStart dealer.

OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF OPERATION. OPERATING THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO UNEXPECTEDLY LUNGE FORWARD RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY INCLUDING DEATH. YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY CEASE THE USE OF THE

Page 16

UNIT AND SEEK THE ASSISTANCE OF AN AUTHORIZED ASTROSTART DEALER TO REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED REMOTE START MODULE. ASTROSTART WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.

This product is designed for fuel injected vehicles only. Use of this product in a standard transmission vehicle must be in strict accordance with this guide.

This product should not be installed in any convertible vehicles, soft or hard top with a manual transmission. Installation in such vehicles may pose certain risk.

Interference

All radio devices are subject to interference which could affect proper performance.

Upgrades

Any upgrades to this product must be performed by an authorized AstroStart dealer. Do not attempt to perform any unauthorized modifications to this product.

Water/Heat Resistance

This product is not designed to be water and/or heat-resistant. Please take care to keep this product dry and away from heat sources. Any damage from water or heat will void the warranty.
