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 only be installed by an authorized dealer. Installation of this
product by anyone other than an authorized dealer voids the
warranty. All dealers are provided with preprinted dealer certifi-
cates as proof of authorization.
This owner’s guide should help you to get the most out of your
system. Please take the time to read it thoroughly prior to using
this system. Additional or replacement copies of this manual may
be downloaded from the DEI
®
website at www.directed.com.

This system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote control
is powered either by a miniature 12V battery, type GP23A, or a
lightweight 3-volt lithium battery, both of which will last approx-
imately one year under normal use. Contact your dealer if you have
any questions. 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. Make sure you receive the warranty
card from your dealer. It is also necessary to keep your proof of
purchase, which indicates that the product was installed by an au-
thorized 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.
Caution: 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 button on
the remote transmitter to any receiver function. Two possible
transmitter configurations are described in this section. Remember
that there are many alternate custom configurations that can be
programmed by your dealer.
The standard configuration is how the transmitters come programmed
initially. If you would like a custom configuration, contact an
authorized dealer.
Button I
The arm, disarm, and panic functions are usually controlled by
pressing .
Button II
Silent Mode
™
, Remote Valet®, and optional trunk release (if
equipped) functions are usually controlled by . (Silent Mode
and Remote Valet work by pressing for less than one second.
Trunk release requires you to press and hold for 1.5 seconds.)
Button III
An optional auxiliary convenience or expansion function that you
may have added to your system can be activated by pressing .
This auxiliary output controls _____________________________.

This auxiliary output controls _____________________________.
Buttons I and II
Another optional auxiliary convenience or expansion function that
you may have added to your system can be activated by pressing
and simultaneously.
This auxiliary output controls _____________________________.
Buttons III and IV
Another optional auxiliary convenience or expansion function that
you may have added to your system can be activated by pressing
and simultaneously.
This auxiliary output controls _____________________________.
A remote that uses the expanded configuration operates similarly
to many factory keyless entry remotes. An expanded configuration
transmitter allows you to arm, disarm, and activate Panic Mode
with separate transmitter buttons. The expanded configuration
also allows you to utilize Multi-Level Security Arming, an addi-
tional feature that cannot be utilized when using a standard
configuration transmitter. (See Multi-Level Security Arming Section
of this guide for details about this feature.) The transmitter
buttons are used for the following functions in the expanded
configuration:

Button I
The arming and Multi-Level Security functions are usually
controlled by . Pressing for one second will arm the
system. Pressing again within five seconds of arming
activates Multi-Level Security.
Button II
Pressing for one second will disarm the system. If configured
for optional progressive unlocking, pressing when disarming
will only unlock the driver’s door. A second press of will then
unlock the passenger doors.
Button III
Silent Mode
™
, Remote Valet®, and optional trunk release are all
controlled by pressing . Silent Mode
™
and Remote Valet work
by pressing for less than one second. Pressing for 1.5
seconds will activate the trunk release function.
Button IV
Pressing at any time will activate Panic Mode.
Button Combinations
Four unique combinations of buttons can be assigned to control
convenience or expansion options that you may have added to
your system. Consult your authorized dealer for details.

Using Your System
The remote button numbers in this manual correspond to the
standard configuration unless otherwise specified. Remember, this
is not the only way your transmitters can be programmed. Your
transmitters may also be programmed for expanded configuration
or custom configured by a dealer to meet your needs.
You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing 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 also lock.
While the system is armed, the status LED will flash approximately
twice 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.
The system can also 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 detects you leaving 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
Arming

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.)
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 trigger the programmed full trigger sequence.
■ 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
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.
