The

Astra 1000RS

is a state-of-the-art remote starting system with an integrated 2-way paging feature.
With proper installation, this system will provide superior protection and performance for many years to
come.
The

Astra 1000RS

built-in remote start feature is designed to offer maximum convenience by remote
starting your vehicle’s engine, turning on the heater/air conditioner, and then running for a pre-determined
time to provide a comfortable environment once you enter your vehicle.

ScyTek Electronics Inc. and its VENDORS shall not be liable for any accident resulting from the use of this
equipment. This system is designed to be professionally installed into a car or vehicle in which all items,
such as parking brake and all associated components, door switches, transmission shift linkage, throttle
linkage, and all engine safety features, are in perfect working condition.

DO NOT install Astra 1000RS remote starting system on MANUAL TRANSMISSION in vehicles
without verifying that the system is in Manual Transmission Mode. If accidentally left in gear
the vehicle could become a self-propelled threat to life and property.

DO NOT remote start the vehicle in a closed garage. Make sure that the garage door is open or there is
adequate ventilation. Failure to observe this rule could result in injury or death from poisonous CarbonTo
ensure the safety and security of the system while it is remote started, the Galaxy Starter employs several
safeguards. In the event the brake pedal is pressed while the engine is remotely running, the remote start
will immediately shutdown to prevent unauthorized users from attempting to drive the vehicle. The system
is equipped with a hood pin input to prevent access to the engine compartment while the vehicle is
remotely running. Finally, the Valet Mode prevents the remote start feature from operating in the event the
vehicle is to be serviced.

Two Car Operation

(w/1-way transmitters only)

If two vehicles are equipped with Galaxy Starter systems, for convenience both can be operated using the
same remote transmitter. If all four transmitters are to be used with both cars, program transmitters A and
B into the first vehicle in the manner described above. Program transmitters C and D by pressing the Shift
button twice before performing steps 3 and 4 above.

When finished programming the first vehicle, program transmitters C and D into the second vehicle as
normal, then program transmitters A and B by pressing the Shift button twice before performing steps 3
and 4 above.

When programmed in this manner, the driver of the first car can also operate the second vehicle by pressing
the Shift button twice and the desired function button.

Battery Replacement

Your Astra Remote Transmitter uses a 12 volt alkaline battery (type 23A), which will require replacement in
time. Depending on the amount of use, the battery may last up to six months or more before it needs
replacement.

When the battery needs replacing, the system’s operating range will decrease or the transmitter LED may
not be as bright.

In order to change the battery, first remove 2 screws from the back of the transmitter and separate the top
and bottom halves of the case.

While replacing the battery make sure that the positive and negative terminals are positioned correctly, then
carefully reassemble the transmitter case.
