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

warranty. All dealers are provided with preprinted dealer certifi-

cates 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.

system maintenance

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.

your warranty

wwaarrrraannttyy

Your warranty registration must be returned and the bar code

serial number must not be removed. If the warranty registration

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 registration from your dealer.

This security system operates at 434 MHz and incorporates

Directed’s proprietary XHF2 out-board Responder Technology

remote control. The high frequency combined with Binary Data

communication achieves superior range with two-way commu-

nication.

system signal paging features

A page is the signal the control module sends to the remote

control as confirmation of receipt of a command or alarm system

status.

When the remote control receives a page it will generate a page

notification to the user (notifications are audible beeps or remote

vibration) and the LCD Icons will display the current system

status.

Command Page

When a command (arm/disarm, remote start, or auxiliary

channel) from the remote control is sent and received, the system

will send a command page back to confirm receipt.
