Congratulations on the purchase of your combination remote

start alarm system. 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 a preprinted dealer certif-

icate to verify authorization.

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 our web site at www.directed.com.

system maintenance

The system requires no specific maintenance other than battery

replacement for the remotes.

LCD 2-Way Remote Battery Replacement

The 2-way remote is powered by a 1.5V AAA battery. The

Battery Level indicator has three level indicators that serve as a

visual indication of battery charge. When the battery reaches a

low charge level that requires replacement, the transceiver will

generate a single notification chirp, and the Battery Level indi-

cator will flash continuously.

To replace the battery, gently pull the battery cover release tab, then

slide the door down to expose the battery and remove the expired

battery. Place the new battery into the transceiver observing the

correct polarity. When power is returned the transceiver will light

all icons in the LCD and generate all beeper tones once.

4-Button Remote Battery Replacement

Your remote is powered by a small, lightweight 3-volt lithium

battery (CR2032) that will last approximately one year under

normal use. When the battery begins to weaken, operating range

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