DISPLAY

The LCD-type display shows current time of day as well as each scheduled start-up settings. It lights up when a button is pressed and will remain lit for 30 seconds thereafter.

OPERATION MODE

In Operation Mode, the display shows current time and day of the week, as well as selected scheduled start-ups. The scheduled start-ups are those generated by the timer. The example on the right shows that the current day is Wednesday (WE), the current time is twelve thirty-four and scheduled start-ups 2, 4 and 5 have been selected.

PROGRAMMING MODE

In Programming Mode, the display shows the time and day of the selected scheduled start-up (blinking digit). The example on the right shows that start-up "2" is set to start vehicle every Monday morning at 7:15 a.m.

CONVENTION

A digit embedded in a star means

the digit is blinking on display.

SETTINGS

CLOCK SETTING

Press and hold the "CLOCK" button, then press the "DAY" button to select the day of the week, "HOUR" to set the hour, and "MINUTE" to set the minutes.

Each selection will increment by one unit every time the corresponding button is pressed. Faster increment can be achieved by holding down the button for a second or more. Release button when desired setting is reached.

The LED indicator will blink once every time a button is pressed or every time the selection switches to the next setting while the button is held down.

Ensure that the time and the period

of day (A.M./P.M.) are correctly set.

The remote start-ups may otherwise occur

at times other than those scheduled.

SCHEDULED START-UPS

Press the "SET" button. Digit "1" blinks and display shows current program for scheduled start-up nº 1 or, if not previously programmed, a series of four dashes.

Digits "1 to 8" refer to scheduled start-ups. Press "SET" button to select the scheduled start-up you wish to set. When the desired digit starts blinking, press the "DAY" button to select the day(s) of the week, "HOUR" to set the hour, and "MINUTE" to set the minutes.

Press the "SET" button again. Digit "2" now blinks to indicate scheduled start-up nº 2.

Repeat procedure for each scheduled startup. Up to eight different start-ups can be scheduled.

The turn on/off feature allows you to choose among the eight scheduled start-ups the one(s) you wish to activate without having to program the timer all over again. The scheduled startup(s) that are turned off remain in memory and can be reactivated at any time. For example, the programming can be set up in this way:

• one scheduled start-up controls engine start-up on workdays;

• another one controls start-ups on weekends;

• and a last one controls start-ups on Fridays only.

Now let's suppose you wish to deactivate scheduled start-up nº 2 (10:30 a.m. on weekends) for a certain period of time. Press "SET" button as many times as necessary to reach the scheduled start-up you wish to deactivate, then press the "ON/OFF" button. The corresponding scheduled start-up is then erased from the list but remains in memory. The display now shows a series of four dashes.

)

When you wish to reactivate that group again, simply repeat the procedure. The display will then show the preprogrammed setting and the scheduled start-up is now activated.

ENABLING/DISABLING TIMER

To have your car start up according to the scheduled programming, simply press the "ON/OFF" button to turn on the red indicator light. When lit, the scheduled start-up timer is activated. To cancel the scheduled start-up timer, press the "ON/OFF" button to turn off the red indicator light.

If vehicle is parked in an enclosed,

unventilated area or is in for servicing,

turning the timer off is not sufficient.

You must also turn off the

remote starter's main switch.
