System Maintenance
This section outlines some of the basic issues you may experience
Changing the Remote Control Battery
The 12-volt alkaline battery(GP-23A) supplied in your remote control
should last approximately one year, depending on usage. When the
battery begins to weaken, you will notice a decrease in range, or the
distance from your vehicle that your remote transmitter will operate.
Follow the instructions below to change the remote transmitter battery.
1. Insert the edge of a coin into the slot at the side of the remote
control. Twist the coin to pry the remote control halves apart.
2. Remove the old battery and replace with a new one. Be sure
to observe the (+) and (-) signs in the battery compartment.
3. Carefully snap the case halves back together, then test the
remote control.
Remote Control Button Pad Care
DO NOT use excessive pressure when pressiing transmitter buttons. Press
buttons only until transmitter indicator light comes ON. Pressing harder after
the light comes on can permanently damage the transmitter button pads.

A Code Systems Inc. (“CODE”) vehicle comfort, convenience and security system
sold to a retail consumer purchaser by an authorized dealer of CODE and installed by an
authorized dealer of CODE is warranted by CODE to the original retail consumer purchaser
to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for the lifetime of the vehicle in
which the system was originally installed.
A CODE system sold to a retail consumer purchaser by an authorized dealer of
CODE and installed by a party other than an authorized dealer of CODE is warranted by
CODE to the original retail consumer purchaser to be free from defects in workmanship
and materials for the lifetime of the vehicle. Defects caused by or related to the improper
installation of the system are not covered by this or any other warranty.
The duration of this warranty described above applies to all components of the system
except for: switches, indicator lights, transmitter(s) and accessories purchased separately.
Transmitters, exclusive of the transmitter case, are warranted by CODE to the
original retail consumer purchaser to be free from defects in workmanship and materials

Code system accessories are covered by the warranty supplied with the accessory.
Wiring harnesses altered by installation and transmitter batteries are not covered by
this or any other warranty.
This warranty is non-transferable, non-assignable and is completely voided when the
system is removed from the car in which it was originally installed. If the vehicle in which
the system was originally installed is transferred to another party, this warranty no longer
applies.
This warranty does not apply to any product damaged by accident, physical or
electrical abuse, improper installation, alteration, any use contrary to its intended
function, unauthorized service (i.e. service by anyone other than CODE or its authorized
service personnel), fire, flood, lightning or other acts of God.
Should a product be found to be defective during the warranty duration, CODE will
repair or replace the system or any part of the system that CODE agrees is defective
without charge to the retail consumer purchaser of the system during the first year of the
warranty period. After the first year of the warranty period has expired CODE will repair or
replace the system or any part of the system that CODE agrees is defective for a fee of
$10.00 to cover shipping and handling charges.

CODE shall not be held responsible for any removal and/or reinstallation charges of
a defective system, damage to or theft of the vehicle or its contents, or any incidental or
consequential damages caused by any failure of the system to function properly. Under no
circumstances should this warranty, or system covered by it, be construed as an insurance
policy against loss. CODE neither assumes nor authorizes any person or organization to make
ANY WARRANTIES or assume any liability in connection with the sale, installation, or use of
this system. This is the complete CODE warranty and no other warranty exists.
The warranty identified in this form is exclusive and CODE makes no other
