Important information
Congratulations on the purchase of your security system. Due to the
complexity of this system, it must be installed by an authorized dealer
only. Installation of this product by anyone other than an authorized
dealer voids the warranty. All dealers are provided with a preprinted
dealer certificate to verify that they are authorized.
By carefully reading this Owner's Guide prior to using your system, you
will maximize the use of this system and its features.
You can print additional or replacement copies of this manual by
accessing the Directed web site at www.directed.com.

Using your system
Manual (active) arming
The factory default is active arming. In this mode you can activate, or
arm, the system by locking the doors with your factory keyless entry
transmitter. When the system arms, you will hear a short horn honk and
see the parking lights flash once. While the system is armed, the status
LED will flash about twice a second, showing that the system is active-
ly protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second short horn honk after
arming, and see the status LED flashing in groups, see Diagnostics sec-
tion (page 9). This extra short horn honk is called Bypass Notification.
Automatic (passive) arming
The system also can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called
passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive arming, it will
automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off and the
system “sees” you leave the vehicle by opening and closing a door.
Whenever the system is in its 30-second passive-arming countdown,
the status LED will flash twice as fast as it does when the system is
armed. When the system arms, you will hear a short horn honk and the
parking lights will flash once. The doors lock (if connected and pro-
grammed for passive locking).
nnoottee::
Passive arming may qualify for a higher insurance dis-
count. Check with your insurance agent
nnoottee::
If the ignition is turned on within 60 seconds of arming
the system, the system will automatically disarm.

Armed protection
When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:
z
Light impacts to your vehicle will trigger the warn away sig­nal. The system will pulse the horn and flash the parking lights for a few seconds.
z
Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered sequence is 30 or 60 seconds of constant horn honking and flashing parking lights.
z
If a door is opened, the system will immediately start short pulsing the horn and flashing the parking lights. Three sec­onds later, the horn output changes to longer horn honk pulses. This progressive response gives you time to disarm the system with your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door while the system is armed, while still providing instant response (even if the door is immediately closed).
z
Turning on the ignition key triggers the same progressive response as opening a door.
z
If equipped, the starter interrupt prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking.
nnoottee::
The vehicle may already be equipped with a starter kill
relay from the factory.
nnoottee::
If programmed for instant trigger, the horn will output full trigger response after the door has been opened (see Programming Options)
nnoottee::
If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switch­protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm. Additionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
