Remote Controls

To satisfy FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, this device should be used in hand-held, hand operated conﬁgurations only. The device and its antenna must maintain a separation distance of 20 cm or more from the person’s body, except for the hand and wrists, to satisfy RF exposure compliance. This device is designed to be used in a person’s hands and its operating conﬁgurations do not support normal transmissions while it is carried in pockets or holsters next to a person’s body.

Control Center

To satisfy FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the device and its antenna must maintain a separation distance of 20 cm or more from the person’s body, except for the hand and wrists, to satisfy RF exposure compliance.

This device complies with the Industry Canada Radio Standards Speciﬁcation RSS 210. Its use is authorized only on a no-interference, no-protection basis; in other words, this device must not be used if it is determined that it causes harmful interference to services authorized by IC. In addition, the user of this device must accept any radio interference that may be received, even if this interference could affect the operation of the device.

Warning:

Changes or modiﬁcations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this device.

Warning! Safety ﬁrst

The following safety warnings must be observed at all times:

Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be performed by an authorized Directed dealer.

When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command signal from the remote control. Therefore, never operate the system in an enclosed area or partially enclosed area without ventilation (such as a garage). When parking in an enclosed or partially enclosed area or when having the vehicle serviced, the remote start system must be disabled using the installed toggle switch. It is the user’s sole responsibility to properly handle and keep out of reach from children all remote control devices to assure that the system does not unintentionally remote start the vehicle. THE USER MUST INSTALL A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING AREA ADJACENT TO THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEADING FROM ADJACENT LIVING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR

iii

PARTIALLY ENCLOSED VEHICLE STORAGE AREA MUST AT ALL TIMES REMAIN CLOSED. These precautions are the sole responsibility of the user.

Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode of operation may result in property damage, personal injury, or death. (1) Never remotely start the vehicle with the vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the keys in the ignition. The user must also have the neutral safety feature of the vehicle periodically checked, wherein the vehicle must not remotely start while the car is in gear. This testing should be performed by an authorized Directed dealer in accordance with the Safety Check outlined in the product installation guide. If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote start operation immediately and consult with the authorized Directed dealer to ﬁx the problem.

After the remote start module has been installed, contact your authorized dealer to have him or her test the remote start module by performing the Safety Check outlined in the product installation guide. If the vehicle starts when performing the Neutral Safety Shutdown Circuit test, the remote start unit has not been properly installed. The remote start module must be removed or the installer must properly reinstall the remote start system so that the vehicle does not start in gear. All installations must be performed by an authorized Directed dealer.

OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF OPERATION. OPERATING THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY. YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY CEASE THE USE OF THE UNIT AND SEEK THE ASSISTANCE OF AN AUTHORIZED Directed DEALER TO REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED REMOTE START MODULE. DIRECTED WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.

This product is designed for fuel injected, automatic transmission vehicles only. Use of this product in a standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and contrary to the product's intended use.

➢ Starter Anti-Grind Circuitry

Whenever the vehicle is remote started, advanced anti-grind circuitry prevents the starter from engaging, even if the key is turned to the start position. This prevents damage to the starter motor if the key is turned to the start position during remote start operation.

Note:

Anti-grind circuitry only works when the remote start system is op er at ing the motor and the optional Failsafe

Starter Kill relay is in-

stalled.

➢ Disabling the Remote Start system

This feature allows your system's remote start unit to be temporarily disabled to prevent the vehicle from being remote started accidentally. This feature is useful if the vehicle is being serviced or stored in an enclosed area. To disable the remote start, move the shutdown toggle switch to the OFF position. The switch can be installed in a location of your choice. Check with your installer for recommended locations.

➢ Ignition Controlled Door Locks

If power door locks have been connected to your system, the vehicle's doors will lock three seconds after the ignition has been turned On and unlock when the ignition is turned Off.

Important:

In order for the ignition controlled door locks to work the

feature must be programmed On.

If the ignition is turned on when the vehicle is remote started the doors will not lock until the remote start shuts off. To avoid being locked out of the vehicle, do not turn the ignition on until you are ready to drive the vehicle.

Rapid Resume Logic

This Directed Electronics system will store its current state to non-volatile memory. If power is lost and then reconnected the system will recall the stored state from memory. This means if the unit is in Locked Mode and the battery is dis con nect ed for any reason, such as servicing the car, when the battery is re con nect ed the unit will still be in Locked Mode. This applies to all states of the system.

Owner Recognition

Owner Recognition is a revolutionary feature available only from Directed. Using a Directed Bitwriter® your dealer can program many of the system settings. It is possible to program different settings for each transmitter used with the system. Then, whenever a speciﬁc transmitter is used, the system recalls the settings assigned to that transmitter. Owner Recognition allows up to four users to have different settings that meet their speciﬁc needs. It is almost like having four separate alarms in your vehicle, one for each user.

Important: Owner Recognition cannot be programmed without a Bitwriter® and the necessary software.

Programming Options

Programming options control your system's normal, operational set-up. Most options do not require additional parts, but some may require additional installation labor. This system's programming options are listed below, with the factory default settings in
