Your Warranty
It is necessary to retain your proof of purchase, which reflects that the product was installed by an authorised dealer. For full details regarding your warranty coverage, please refer to the Consumer Warranty section of this guide.
Remote Controls
Included with your system: two AviGlo 2-button/3-channel remote controls. Once exposed to light, the AviGlo remote control buttons will glow, making them visible in the dark.
The remote control is a miniature transmitter powered by a small
(+) 3 volt lithium battery. Obstructions, electrical or radio interference, weather conditions, window tint, or a discharged battery can reduce range. Your transmitter is the key to your system and can be used to arm and disarm your alarm, lock and unlock your doors, open your boot, and control optional accessories such as a remote engine starter*, window roll-up, and garage door opener.
Your system can accept up to four AviGlo remote controls. Additional remote controls and remote control batteries can be purchased from any authorised Avital dealer or by calling the UK office (freephone number noted in the back of the guide).
* This accessory is not evaluated by Thatcham.

System Maintenance
The Maxx1 system requires no maintenance except for remote control battery replacement when they reach the end of their useful life. When the battery weakens, operating range will be reduced and the LED will dim. To replace your remote control battery use the following procedure.
Remote Control Battery Replacement
To replace the battery in your AviGlo remote control, follow the instructions below.
1.Carefully pry apart the two halves of the remote control with a small flat-bladed screwdriver. The bottom right-hand corner of the remote casing has a small indent to allow the screwdriver access.
2.The lithium battery is the round silver disc, about the size of a five pence piece. Remove the old battery from the metal clip. You should note that the (+) side of the battery should face up and the (-) side should face the circuit board. Slide the new replacement battery into the metal clip.
3.Re-align the two halves of the enclosure and snap together.

System Features
Stealth Coding Technology
Stealth Coding technology offers the most advanced protection available against code-grabbing devices which thieves may use to record the digital code transmitted by your remote control. When you leave the area, thieves can then play back the code to unlock the doors and de-activate your system. Avital’s remote controls with Stealth Coding randomly change the code every time you use them, and your system will not respond if any code is re-transmit- ted. This technology makes code-grabbing devices useless.
Electronic Scan Prevention (ESP)
Your system includes Electronic Scan Prevention (ESP), which blocks electronic scanner codes preventing unauthorised operation of your system. A thief could use an electronic “scanner” to continuously scan through thousands of different transmitter codes in an attempt to find one that will disarm your system. Your Maxx1 system uses ESP technology to render this type of attack useless.
Passive Immobilisation
The built-in Dual Circuit Immobiliser will passively arm (indicated by a slow LED flash), 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. (This feature is a Thatcham and EC requirement and, therefore, is not

user-programmable.) To disarm the Immobiliser when it has Passively Immobilised, use the remote control to arm and then disarm the system, or turn the ignition on and press the 
button.
Valet Switch
The Valet switch is a small push-button switch that allows you to control all of the system’s programmable features and enter your override PIN code. (See User-Programmable Features section of this guide.) This switch can only be controlled in conjunction with your ignition key.
NOTE: Make sure the dealer has shown you where the Valet switch is located. You will need to disarm the system with the Valet switch in the event of a lost or stolen remote control.
Keyless Entry in Valet Mode
While the system is in the Valet mode, you can still use your remote control to lock and unlock the doors as well as activate any optional accessories, such as boot release or remote engine starter.
Ultrasonic Sensors
Your Maxx1 security system incorporates two Ultrasonic sensors, which are most commonly mounted at the top of the A-pillars facing the rear of the vehicle. These sensors detect movement inside the vehicle by sensing air disturbance. They should trigger the alarm if a thief gained access to the interior of your vehicle.

Instant Remote Control Code Deletion
In the event of a lost or stolen remote control, all remote controls can be erased from the systems memory preventing unauthorised system operation. (See the Programming Table for Remote Controls section of this guide.)
One-Step Remote Control Code Learning
Your system allows you to add new remote controls in one step. (See the Programming Table for Remote Controls section of this guide.)
Alarm State Memory
If your vehicle battery is disconnected and later reconnected, the system will automatically return to its last state before power was removed, whether it was armed, disarmed, or in Valet Mode. For example, if a mechanic were to disconnect the battery while the alarm was disarmed or in Valet Mode, the alarm will not trigger when the battery is reconnected. If power is removed and then restored while the alarm is armed, the systems battery back up siren will instantly sound, the indicator lights will flash and the Dual Circuit Immobiliser will still be enabled, preventing the vehicle from being started.
