Directed Electronics promises to the original purchaser to repair or replace with a comparable reconditioned model any Directed Electronics unit (hereafter the "unit"), excluding without limitation the siren, the remote transmitters, the associated sensors and accessories, which proves to be defective in workmanship or material under reasonable use during the lifetime of the vehicle provided the following conditions are met: the unit was professionally installed and serviced by an authorized Directed Electronics dealer; the unit will be professionally reinstalled in the vehicle in which it was originally installed by an authorized Directed Electronics dealer; and the unit is returned to Directed Electronics, shipping prepaid with a legible copy of the bill of sale or other dated proof of purchase bearing the following information: consumer's name, telephone number and address; the authorized dealers name, telephone number and address; complete product description, including accessories; the year, make and model of the vehicle; vehicle license number and vehicle identification number. All components other than the unit, including without limitation the siren, the remote transmitters and the associated sensors and accessories, carry a one-year warranty from the date of purchase of the same. This warranty is non-transferable and is automatically void if: the original purchaser has not completed the warranty card and mailed it within ten (10) days of the date of purchase to the address listed on the card; the unit's date code or serial number is defaced, missing or altered; the unit has been modified or used in a manner contrary to its intended purpose; the unit has been damaged by accident, unreasonable use, neglect, improper service, installation or other causes not arising out of defects in materials or construction. The warranty does not cover damage to the unit caused by installation or removal of the unit. Directed Electronics, in its sole discretion, will determine what constitutes excessive damage and may refuse the return of any unit with excessive damage.

Congratulations on the purchase of your remote start keyless entry

system. Due to the complexity of this system, it must be installed

by an authorized dealer only. Installation of this product by any-

one other than an authorized dealer voids the warranty. All deal-

ers 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 Electronics internet website at

www.directed.com

The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote is powered

by a small, lightweight 3-volt lithium battery that will last approx-

imately one year under normal use. When the battery begins to weaken,

operating range will be reduced and the LED on the remote will dim.

Your warranty registration must be completely filled out and

returned within 10 days of purchase. Your product warranty

will not be validated if your warranty registration is not returned.

Make sure you receive the warranty registration from your dealer.

It is also necessary to keep your proof of purchase, which reflects

that the product was installed by an authorized dealer.

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject

to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful

interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference re-

ceived, 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.

This product is designed for fuel injected, automatic transmission

vehicles only. Use of this product in a standard transmission vehi-

cle is dangerous and contrary to the product's intended use.

transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any specific

transmitter button, or combination of buttons, to any receiver

function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with the

rized dealer. The transmitter buttons indicated in all of the

instructions in this manual correspond to a Standard Configuration
