A note concerning the battery inside the transmitter:
Depending on your usage of the transmitter, the battery can last anywhere between 3 to 6 months. When the
battery is low, the transmitter will produce two beeps in a repetitive cycle. At that point you should replace
your battery with a new one. That is why we recommend that you keep a spare battery somewhere handy
such as the glove compartment.

Vehicle Presets
Heater & Heated Seat
When leaving the vehicle it is recommended to preset the accessory controls in preparation for the
next remote start. Settings for the blower motor (fan), front and rear, as well as heated seats (if
equipped) should not be left on HIGH. It is recommended to leave the settings on LOW or MEDIUM
instead.
Windshield Wipers & Radio & Headlights
Certain vehicles require the radio and / or windshield wiper and / or headlight circuits to become
energized while running under remote start. When leaving the vehicle you must ensure that the
windshield wiper and headlight switches are OFF. Leaving the headlight switch ON on certain types
of vehicles could cause them to remain
battery.

Your remote car starter is equipped with a 6-button multi-channel remote control. It can operate
two independent vehicles equipped with a remote car starter.
