Important Information

Congratulations on the purchase of your remote start keyless entry

system. Due to the complexity of this system, it must be installed

by an authorized dealer only. Installation of this product by any-

one other than an authorized dealer voids the warranty. All deal-

ers are provided with a preprinted dealer certificate to verify that

they are authorized.

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 the Directed Electronics internet website at

www.directed.com.

The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote is powered

by two small, lightweight 3-volt lithium batteries 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.

Your warranty registration must be completely filled out and

returned within 10 days of purchase. Your product warranty

will not be validated if your warranty registration is not returned.

Make sure you receive the warranty registration from your dealer.

It is also necessary to keep your proof of purchase, which reflects

that the product was installed by an authorized dealer.

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject

to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful

interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference re-

ceived, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible

for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this device.

and its antenna must maintain a separation distance of 20 cm or more

from the person’s body, except for the hand and wrists, to satisfy RF

exposure compliance. This device is designed to be used in a person’s

hands and its operating configurations do not support normal trans-

missions while it is carried in pockets or holsters next to a persons’

body.

This product is designed for fuel injected, automatic transmission

vehicles only. Use of this product in a standard transmission vehi-

cle is dangerous and contrary to the product's intended use.

Caution

Transmitter Functions

The receiver uses a computer-based learn routine to learn the

transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any specific

transmitter button, or combination of buttons, to any receiver

function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with the

Standard Configuration, but may also be customized by an autho-

rized dealer. The transmitter buttons indicated in all of the instruc-

tions in this manual correspond to a Standard Configuration trans-

mitter.
