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
dims.

Your warranty
Your warranty registration must be returned and the bar code serial
number must not be removed. If the warranty registration 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
authorized dealer. Make sure that you receive the warranty registration
from your dealer.

Using your system
manual (active) arming
The factory default is active arming. In this mode you can activate, or
arm, the system by pressing the button on your transmitter. When
the system arms, you will hear a short horn honk and see the parking
lights flash once. While the system is armed, the status LED will flash
about once per second, showing that the system is actively protecting
your vehicle. If you hear a second short horn honk after arming, and
see the status LED flashing in groups, see Diagnostics section. This extra
short horn honk is called Bypass Notification.
automatic (passive) arming
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 passive-arming countdown,
the status LED will flash twice as fast as it does when the system is
armed. When the system arms, you will hear a short horn honk and the
parking lights will flash once. The doors lock (if connected and pro-
grammed for passive locking).

Passive arming may qualify for a higher insurance dis-
count. Check with your insurance agent
