The
Astra 1000RS Series
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’s 1000RS Series
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 predetermined 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.
On MANUAL TRANSMISSION vehicles only install the Astra 1000RS-M remote starting
system. Verify that the vehicle transmission is left in neutral position. 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 Carbon.
To ensure the safety and security of the system while it is remote started, the Astra 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.
System Contents:
• Main control unit w/wiring harnesses.
• One 5-Button Random Coded Transmitters and one 2-Way LCD Transmitter (1000RS-2W-1)
• Two 5-Button Random Coded Transmitters (1000RS)
• Status LED
