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
system. 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
number 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
authorized dealer. Make sure that you receive the warranty card
from your dealer.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject
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
operate this device.

Transmitter Functions
The receiver uses a computer-based Learn Routine to learn the
transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any transmit-
ter button to any receiver function. The transmitter initially 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.

Using Your System
The buttons used in the instructions in this manual correspond to
the standard configuration. Remember, this is not the only way
your transmitter may be set up. It can be custom configured to
meet your needs.
You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing on 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
vehicle’s power door locks have been connected to the system, the
doors will lock.
While the 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, and see the
status LED flashing in groups, refer to the Diagnostics section of
this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.
Arming
7

1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.
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. 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
second 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.
■ Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered sequence is
between 1-180 seconds of constant siren and flashing parking
lights.
■ If a door is opened, the system will immediately start chirp-
ing the siren and flashing the parking lights. Three seconds
later, the siren output changes to a continuous blast. This
progressive response gives you time to disarm the system with
8
©
1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.
your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door while the
system is armed, while still providing an instant response
(even if the door is immediately closed).
■ Turning on the ignition key will trip the same two-stage
response as opening a door.
■ The optional starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from
cranking.
Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the
security system's inputs or sensors will be active and which will be
bypassed at the time that the system is armed. (See Table of Zones
section.) Pressing again within five seconds of arming the
security system will activate the Multi-Level Security Arming
feature. Each time is pressed again, a different security level
is selected. The different security levels can be selected as follows:
■ Pressing one time: The siren chirps once. The system is
armed.
■ Pressing a second time within five seconds: The siren
chirps twice followed by a long chirp. Zone Two is now
bypassed.
■ Pressing a third time within five seconds: The siren chirps
three times followed by a long chirp. Zone Four is now
bypassed.
■ Pressing a fourth time within five seconds: The siren
chirps four times followed by a long chirp. Zones Two and
Four are now bypassed.
