This system needs no specific maintenance beyond remote

control battery replacement. The remote is powered by a 1.5V

AAA battery.

Low Battery Notification

If the battery is low (and this feature is programmed On) the 2-

way remote will emit 2 long beeps 5-seconds after a transmission

is completed. The 2 long beeps will repeat every 25 seconds up

to 3 times (or until a 2-way remote button is pressed).

Battery Replacement

Gently pull the end of the battery door away from the top of the

remote control then slide the door up to expose the battery and

remove the expired battery. Place the new battery into the

remote control observing the correct polarity. When power is

returned the remote control will light all icons and generate

melodies (representing all beeper tones).

22--wwaayy rreemmoottee ffuunnccttiioonnss

The receiver uses a computer-based Learn Routine to learn the

2-way remote buttons. This makes it possible to assign any 2-

way remote button to any receiver function. The 2-way remote

initially comes programmed with Standard Configuration, but

may also be customized by an authorized dealer. The buttons in

all of the instructions in this manual correspond to a Standard

Configuration 2-way remote.

The remote start system operates at 434 MHz and incorporates

Directed’s proprietary XHF2 out-board technology transceiver. The

high frequency combined with Binary Data communication achieves

superior range with two-way communication.

system signal paging features

A page is the signal the control module sends to the remote control

as confirmation of receipt of a command or alarm system status.

When the remote control receives a page it will generate a page noti-

fication to the user (notifications are audible beeps) and the LED

Icons will display the current system status.

Command Page

When a command (arm/disarm, remote start, or auxiliary

channel) from the remote control is sent and received, the system

will send a command page back to confirm receipt.

Alarm Page

➜

9

If the ignition is turned on while locked, the system will actuate

the panic feature and an Alarm Page will be sent to the remote

control. When the remote receives this Alarm Page, the remote

control will generate 4 beeps 5 times and the Red LED will illu-

minate for 3-seconds. This will repeat every 100 seconds to alert

the user that the security feature was triggered and will continue

until the alarm page is cleared.

Page Recognition

To clear a page alert/notification, quickly press any button on the

remote control. This can be performed at any time during or after

the page notification has occurred.

The remote control will not send a command to the system at

this time; it will only clear future repeats of the page notification.

The next time a button is pressed on the remote control it will

send a command to the system.

out of range notification

If a command is issued from the remote, but the remote is

beyond the range of the vehicle to receive the command, the

remote responds with 2 sets of 3 quick beeps and the Green LED

will flash 6-times.
