What is EncryptR™ Technology?

EncryptR™ employs proprietary encryption software that sends unique codes from the
remote starter to the ADS-TB or ADS-AL-CA bypass module that cannot be replicated or
reversed with hi-tech equipment.

The EncryptR™ communication exchanged between the remote starter and the ADS bypass
module is best described as a “secret handshake” that is never the same and changes every
time it is used.

Since the command / communication is never exchanged in the same way twice, it is
impossible even for expert thieves to duplicate and it ensures the best security possible for
the remote starter system.

Added Security

Every installation of a Polarstart remote starter used in conjunction with an ADS-TB or an
ADS-AL-CA with the EncryptR™ Technology comes with a Limited Anti-Theft Warranty
covering up to 2000$ in the event of theft. In order to qualify, upon completion of the
installation, your installer should go on-line to www.encryptr.com

and fill out the Limited anti­theft warranty form. A copy should be printed and given to you for your records. Within ten
(10) working days a pair of holographic stickers will be mailed to you. Upon receiving them,
you must ensure to affix them on both front side windows of your vehicle.

Holographic stickers to be affixed on both side windows.

TroubleshootingTransmittingRange

Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are:

• The condition of the battery in the transmitter.

• The operating environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency noise, airports, cellular

phone towers…)

• Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the vehicle itself.

• The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well (vans in general have less range).

• The shape of the roof a nd A-pillars brings about cons iderable radio-freq uency deflection (i n this

case the signal from the remote control). As a result, the directi on in which the vehicle is facing
in relation to the remote control c a n a ffec t th e ra nge. Straight on (standing in front of the v ehi c le )
generally gives you the greatest ran ge; the second best performance is from the b ac k . Us ing th e
remote control from either side of the vehicle will usually give the lowest range.

• The range will be significantly lower in a crowded parking lot than in open space.

• Always hold the transmitter high, approximately at shoulder height.

The operating range will be somewhat lower on veh icles equipped with an aftermarket or factory
alarm
