Congratulations on the purchase of your keyless entry 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 is

powered by a small, lightweight 3-volt lithium battery that will

last approximately one year under normal use. When the battery

begins to weaken, operating range will be reduced and the LED

on the remote will dim.

your warranty

Your warranty registration must be completely filled out and

returned within 10 days of purchase. Your product warranty

will not be validated if your warranty registration is not returned.

Make sure you receive the warranty registration from your dealer.

It is also necessary to keep your proof of purchase, which reflects

that the product was installed by an authorized dealer.
