important information
Congratulations on the purchase of your security system. Due to the
complexity of this system, it must be installed by an authorized dealer
only. Installation of this product by anyone other than an authorized
dealer voids the warranty. All dealers are provided with a preprinted
dealer certificate to verify that they are authorized.
By carefully reading this Owner's Guide prior to using your system, you
will maximize the use of this system and its features.
You can print additional or replacement copies of this manual by
accessing the Directed web site at www.directed.com.
system maintenance
The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote control is
powered by a small, lightweight 3 volt lithium battery (CR2032) that
will last approximately one year under normal use. When the battery
weakens, operating range will be reduced and the LED on the remote
will dim.
