PrimeStart 450

Congratulations! You have just purchased the PrimeStart 450, a keyless entry
and remote engine starter system manufactured by Prime Security. You are
about to experience the convenience and luxury of being able to start your
vehicle engine from the comfort of your home, office, department store or
other remote location.

To benefit fully from the capabilities of your PrimeStart system, we encourage
you to read the Owner's Manual thoroughly before using the system. If you
should have any problems or questions regarding your PrimeStart system,
consult the dealer from whom you purchased this product. To locate an
authorized Prime dealer, contact Prime Security directly at 1-800-253-0334
(toll-free within the U.S.) or 1-847-215-2233.

Lifetime Warranty

Prime Security guarantees the operation of your PrimeStart control unit and
remote controls for as long as you own your car. (Please refer to your Lifetime
Limited Warranty Card for complete information.) Make sure that you receive
your warranty card from your dealer, complete the required information and
mail the registration portion to Prime Security. You should retain the top
portion of the warranty card for your records.

Remote Controls

Included with your PrimeStart system are two AviGlo™ 4-button/9-channel
remote controls. Once exposed to light, the AviGlo™ remote control buttons
will glow, making the buttons visible in the dark.

The remote control (remote) is a miniature transmitter powered by a small
+12 volt battery. The RangeMaster™ super-heterodyne receiver (installed in
your vehicle) allows your remote to command your system from up to ¼ mile
away. Obstructions, electrical or radio interference, weather conditions,
window tint or a weak battery can reduce this range. Your remote is the key to
your PrimeStart system and can be used lock and unlock your doors, "pop"
your trunk, start your engine and control optional accessories.

The PrimeStart system can accept up to four Prime remote controls. Additional
remote controls and remote control batteries can be purchased from any
authorized Prime Security dealer, or by calling Prime Security toll-free at
1-800-253-0334 (within the U.S.) or 1-847-215-2233.

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 deactivate your system.
But Prime Security’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 retransmitted. This technology makes code-grabbing devices useless.

Electronic Scan Prevention (ESP)

Your PrimeStart system also includes ESP, which blocks electronic scanner
codes to prevent unauthorized operation of your system.

Instant Remote Control Code Deletion

In the event of a lost or stolen remote control, all remote controls can be
erased from the system’s memory to prevent unauthorized system operation.
(See the "Programming Table for Remote Controls" on page 12).

One-Step Remote Control Code Learning

The PrimeStart system allows you to add new remote controls in one step. (See
the "Programming Table for Remote Controls" on page 12).

Valet Switch

The valet switch is a small hidden toggle switch which allows you to control
all of the system’s programmable features. (See the "User-Programmable
Features" on page 10). This switch can only be controlled with the use of your
ignition key.

NOTE: Be sure to have your dealer show you where the valet switch is located.
