MODEL: AstroStart RSS-5224
2-Way LCD (XRT) Remote Start and Security System with One Mile of Range
The RSS-5224 is the ultimate 2-way communication with graphics and audio tones on a 4-button transmitter,
Multi-channel and vehicle remote control capability and vehicle status indicator via remote.
A maximum of four remote controls can be assigned to your vehicle. See your dealer for additional remote
controls.
The range of your remote control can be affected by a weak battery, interference from nearby
metal structures, hydro poles, or crowded parking lots.
If the vehicle is out of range, the transmitter will emit a soft chirp after 3 seconds to indicate that the
command has not been received by neither the module nor the transmitter.
HOW TO USE THE REMOTE?
To send a command, press the corresponding button for two seconds. The command may not be sent if the
button is not pressed long enough.
The remote control beeps when a button is pressed, then emits eight short beeps during the transmission, i.e.
about one second after the button was pressed.
Your remote control can transmit on four different channels, allowing control of four separate vehicles. Only the
“Panic” command is transmitted on both channels simultaneously.
To select a different channel, press the “P” button located on the back and hold it for 2 secondes, when the button
is released the transmitter passes to the next channel.
The remote control shown may differ from that included in the kits.
Your system may be programmed in such a way that it can distinguish between two groups of remote controls (maximum: two
remotes per group). These groups let you activate predefined settings (seat, mirror and other) when unlocking certain vehicles
(additional optional equipment required). This feature is available with certain firware only.
As soon as a command is sent, the remote switches over to standby mode in order to receive and display confirmations sent by
the command module installed in the vehicle. These confirmations are sent to all the programmed remote.
These signals are transmitted only once and could be neutralized by radio or electromagnetic interferences generated by
electronic devices in the vicinity.
If no confirmation is received in a given location, move away from electronic devices and activate the "Status" command ( ).
The start module will inform you of the status of door locks, alarm (only if the Factory Alarm Trigger Monitoring feature is
supported by the firmware), and running of the engine.
Note that the communication between the vehicle and the transmitter operates in only one direction at a time. This is why it is
recommended to wait for the confirmation before sending another command. Otherwise, the vehicle and the transmitter could
transmit at the same time wich would block the command as well as the returned confirmation.

Out of range
If the vehicle is out of range, the transmitter will emit a soft chirp after 3 seconds to indicate that the command has not been
received by neither the module nor the transmitter.

Replacing the Battery
The LCD of the 4-button remote has a battery icon telling you when to replace the battery.
We strongly recommend keeping a replacement battery in your glove compartment.
The remote controls require one AAA battery. See your dealer for spare batteries.
To replace the battery, slide the latch sideways and remove the battery cover on the back of the remote control case, remove old
battery and replace it with a new one. Make sure the battery is placed the right way (see pictogram inside the cover).
Programming the Features of the Remote Control
To access the remote control programming mode, press the “P” button located on the back of the remote and hold it for 5
seconds. The remote beeps once to indicate entering programming mode.

The LCD displays the vehicle status at all time, the display is refreshed on every transmission or when the status of the vehicle
changes pertaining that the “Status confirmation” function is enabled. The display shows the last confirmation received.
The following diagram shows the usefulness of each icon of the display. Descriptions in CAPITAL letters show confirmations
pertaining to the security system’s functions.

Two types of confirmations are displayed on the remote:
Command confirmation: These confirmations are command acknoledgement, the icon corresponding to the command is
displayed to confirm reception of the command.
Status confirmations: These confirmations are displayed when the status of a zone, monitored by the system, changes (i.e.:
door openning, security system alarm state (only if the Factory Alarm Trigger Monitoring feature is supported by the firmware), etc.
- it depends on which firmware you are using).
Command confirmations are returned immediatly following a command transmission whereas the status confirmations may be
returned up to 12 seconds after the event appened depending on the communication protocol between the hand-held unit and the
vehicle.
Remarks: When the remote receives a confirmation that is intended to a vehicle other that the one actually selected, most audible
confirmations are made more descret, vehicle icon flashes (1-4) to warn you that the display reflect the status of that specific
vehicle. This is only applicable if
the Factory Alarm Trigger Monitoring feature is supported by the firmware.
When a command is transmitted, the vehicle selection gets back to the previously selected unless the confirmation was related to
an alarm condition.
In that case the selected vehicle is temporarely changed, to allow stopping the alarm condition without having to change the
vehicle selection, then gets back to previously selected when the alarm condition is stopped.
Out of range: In the event that the environement prevents the confirmation from being received by the remote control, all icons
are cleared out. In this case, resend the command or send the status command to refresh the display.
