Your warranty
Your system comes with a warranty. Please make sure you receive
the warranty registration card and proof of purchase from your dealer
indicating the product was installed by an authorized Directed dealer.
Your product warranty must be validated within 10 days of purchase.
You can validate online at: www.prodregister.com/automate or complete and return the warranty registration card.
Replacement Remote controls
If additional remote controls are desired, please see your authorized
dealer or visit us at www.directedstore.com to order. Your 2way replacement part number is 477A. Your 1-way part number is 474A.
The system requires no specific maintenance beyond battery replacement for the remote controls. The 2-way remote control is powered by
a 1.5V AAA battery. The LCD displays a battery level indicator which
has three bars indicating the current charge level of the battery. When
the battery reaches a low charge level that requires replacement, the
remote control generates a single notification sound, and the battery
level indicator flashes continuously.
Your 1-way remote control is powered by a coin cell battery (CR-2032)
that can be purchased at most retailers. The operating range diminishes
as the battery weakens.
Battery Replacement
Gently slide the battery cover release tab to unlatch the battery compartment (located on back of remote control), then slide the door down
to expose the battery and remove the expired battery. Place the new
battery into the remote verifying the correct polarity. When power is returned, all LCD icons are displayed, and the remote plays a melody.
1-way battery replacement
Locate the small slot on the side of the remote control. Insert a small
slotted screwdriver or equivalent tool into slot and pry the case apart.
Replace battery while verifying the correct polarity and then snap case
together.

Remote and System operations
Passive arming/locking
The system can be programmed to arm/lock itself au to mat i cal ly (called
pas sive arming/locking). If the system is programmed for passive arming/
locking, it will automatically arm/lock 30 seconds after the ignition is
turned off and the system detects that you have left the vehicle by opening
and closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-sec ond passive arming/locking count down, the status LED will flash twice as fast as it does
when the system is armed/locked. At the 20-second point of the countdown, the siren/horn will sound to indicate that the system is about to
arm/lock. At the 30-second point, the parking lights will flash to indicate
that the system is armed/locked.
Note: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switch-protected
trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm/lock (unless
forced passive arming/locking is programmed on). See Programming
Options section in the expanded version of this manual online at www.
automatecarsecurity.com..
Warn away® response (security only)
A Warn Away Response consists of an alarm page along with the
responses described below.
• Shock Sensor - Light impacts to the vehicle will flash the vehicle
lights and sound the siren/horn for a few seconds.
• Remote Control Notification - Ten quick beeps (or one vibration).
• The remote will enter Page Recognition Mode and operate alarm
page alerts.
Note: Icons 12 and 13 represent alarm system zone inputs. For more
information about icons and the zones they represent refer to the Button
Configuration and Icons description section in the expanded version of
this manual online at www.automatecarsecurity.com.
Triggered response (security only)
A Triggered Response can be activated by any of the triggers listed below and consists of an alarm page along with the response described
for each trigger. The default Triggered Response duration is 30 seconds
but can be programmed from 1-180 seconds by your installer.
• Shock Sensor Trigger - Heavy impacts to the vehicle will instantly
sound the siren/horn and flash the lights for the programmed duration and report Zone 2.
• Door Trigger - If a door is opened the siren/horn will sound and
lights flash for three seconds, then the siren/horn will sound continuously and the lights will flash for the programmed duration and
report Zone 3. The three seconds allow the user time to disarm/
unlock the system with a minimum of noise should a door be
opened inadvertently while the system is armed/locked.
• Hood Trigger - Opening the hood will sound the siren/horn, flash
the lights for the programmed duration, and report Zone 1.
• Trunk Trigger - Opening the trunk (if connected) will instantly sound
the siren/horn and flash the lights for the programmed duration
and report Zone 4.
• Ignition Trigger - Turning on the ignition key will trip the same pro-
gressive re sponse as the door trigger and report Zone 5.
When a Triggered Response is activated the 2-way remote control
will:
• Repeat four quick beeps (or vibrate) for 15 seconds.
• The full trigger alert icon (28) will turn on for 15 seconds.
