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.

This system needs no specific maintenance beyond remote

control battery replacement. The remote is powered by a 1.5V

AAA battery.

The Battery Level indicator has four level indicators that serve as

a visual indication of battery charge. When the battery reaches a

low charge level that requires replacement, the remote control

will generate a single notification chirp, and the Battery Level

indicator will flash continuously.

Battery Replacement

Gently pull the end of the battery door away from the top of the

remote control then slide the door up to expose the battery and

remove the expired battery. Place the new battery into the remote

control observing the correct polarity. When power is returned

the remote control will light all icons in the LCD and generate all

beeper tones once.

The remote control buttons are used to send commands to the

system. The descriptions below reflect the standard configuration

for this system. The buttons can be custom configured for the

user’s specific needs by the installer.
