Important Information
Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art vehicle
security system. This system has been designed to provide years of
trouble-free operation. 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 war-
ranty. All dealers are provided with preprinted dealer certificates to
verify that they are authorized.
This owner’s guide should help you to get the most out of your sys-
tem. Please take the time to read it prior to using the system.

The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote control
is powered by a small, lightweight 3-volt lithium battery 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.
Your warranty card must be returned and the bar code serial num-
ber must not be removed. If the warranty card is not returned, you
do not have a warranty. It is also necessary to keep your proof of
purchase, which reflects that the product was installed by an au-
thorized dealer. Make sure that you receive the warranty card from
your dealer.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is sub-
ject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to oper-
ate this device.

Transmitter Functions
The receiver uses a computer-based Learn Routine to learn the
remote transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any
transmitter button to any receiver function. The transmitter ini-
tially 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 transmitter.
The standard configuration is how the transmitters come pro-
grammed initially. If you would like a custom configuration, con-
tact your dealer.

Using Your System
The receiver uses a computer-based Learn Routine to learn the
transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any trans-
mitter button to any receiver function. The transmitter initially
comes programmed with Standard Configuration, but may also be cus-
tomized by an authorized dealer. The buttons in all of the instruc-
tions in this manual correspond to a Standard Configuration trans-
mitter.
You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing of your trans-
mitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear a short
siren sound, or chirp, and the parking lights will flash once. If the
power door locks have been connected to the system, the doors
will lock.
Arming
7
©
1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.
While the security system is armed, the status LED will flash
approximately once per second, indicating that the system is
actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after
arming the system, and see the status LED flashing in groups, refer
to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This extra chirp is called
Bypass Notification.
The system also can be programmed to arm itself automatically
(called passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive
arming, it will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is
turned off and the system "sees" you leave the vehicle by opening
and closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-second pas-
sive-arming countdown, the status LED will flash twice as fast as
it does when the system is armed. The siren will chirp one time 20
seconds after the last door has been closed. The system is not
actually armed at that point. The system arms and the doors lock
(if connected and programmed for passive locking) at the 30 sec-
ond mark, but the siren will not chirp. The early chirp provides you
with a 10-second warning prior to arming.
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 (unless forced
passive arming is programmed on.) See Programming Options section of
this guide. Additionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:
■ Light impacts will trigger the Warn Away
®
signal. When trig-
gered, the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash for
a few seconds.
