YOUR “ ANTI - CODE GRABBING “ TRANSMITTERS
The transmitters included with your new remote start system use the most
advanced and secure form of radio frequency transmission available on any
current automotive remote system. Some of today’s sophisticated auto thieves use
a device known as a code grabber, which will receive and store the signal from
your keychain transmitter, and re-transmit at a later time to disarm your system.
Your anti-code grabbing transmitters will change their signal every time the
button is pressed, so when a thief grabs then re-transmits your signal, the
remote system will not respond.
If your transmitter button is pressed more than fifty times while it is out of range
of the vehicle ( children playing with your keys ), the transmitter will not operate
when you return to the vehicle, and will need to be re-aligned to the receiver. To
do this, simply press button 1 two times within a one second time period. The
system will now respond to that transmitter each time a button is pressed.
For reference the transmitter packaged with your APS-675 is shown with
numbers referring to the text below.
KEYLESS ENTRY
1. To lock or unlock the doors simply press and release button 1 on
the keychain transmitter. As a keyless entry unit, for your convenience,
the parking lights will flash once when the doors are locked and twice
when the door are unlocked.
If the optional Illuminated feature has been added, when unlocking
the doors the interior light will turn on and remain on for 30 seconds
or untill the key is turned on.

different optional accessories. Some of the more common uses for this
channel are;

To activate the optional accessory, press and hold button 2 on the keychain
transmitter for 4 seconds.
NOTE: The feature that has been added to channel 2 will always be activated using
the same transmitter button that remotely starts the vehicle. There is no way
to move the channel 2 function to a different transmitter button.
ADDITIONAL REMOTE FUNCTION (CHANNEL 3)
This system has an additional feature that can be connected to a number of
different optional accessories. Some of the more common uses for this
channel are;

SAFETY (Red Handled ) CONTROL SWITCH
The control switch allows you to temporarily disable the remote starting function of your
APS-675. To disable the unit, move the red handled control switch to the off position.
The control switch also allows you to select between 2 hour start up and 4 hour
start up when using the automatic start up timer mode. The factory preset start
up time for this mode is every 4 hours. To select between 2 or 4 hour start up timer:
1. Begin with the control switch in the on position
2. Turn the ignition switch on then off
3. Within 10 seconds, move the control switch off, on, off, on (2 switch cycles) to
select a 2 hour start timer. After 10 seconds expire, the parking lights will
flash 2 times confirming that the two hour start cycle is set. Or, within 10 seconds
move the control switch off, on, off, on, off, on, off, on (4 switch cycles) to select
a 4 hour start timer. The parking lights will flash 4 times confirming that the
4 hour start timer is set.
REMOTE STARTING THE VEHICLE
The APS-675 WILL NOT start the vehicle if any one of the following conditions
exists:
1. The Vehicle Hood Is Opened.
2. The Gear Selector Is In Any Gear Other Then Park.
3. The Brake Is Depressed.
4. The Safety Control Switch Is In The Off Position.
CAUTION! Be certain that the vehicle is outdoors before using this or any remote
vehicle starting device. A running engine produces dangerous carbon
monoxide fumes which can be harmful or fatal if prolonged exposure
occurs. DO NOT remote start the vehicle if the car is garaged.
To Remote Start The Vehicle:
Press and release channel 2 of your keychain transmitter two times within
2 seconds. The vehicle will start and remain running for the pre-programmed
10 or 15 minutes. As a visual indication, the parking lights will flash or turn on
dependent on the programming set up by your installation center.
When you arrive at your vehicle, unlock it with the key or by pressing and
releasing button 1 of your keychain transmitter. Enter the vehicle and turn the
ignition key to the on position.
CAUTION! Do not turn the key to the start position. This will cause the starter
motor to engage with the already running engine which could result
in damage. Step on the brake pedal to disengage the remote start
unit. The vehicle will continue to run but now on it's own power.
NOTE: The engine will stop running before the expiration of the pre-programmed
run timer or if you complete any of the following:

2 seconds.

CAUTION! Be certain that the vehicle is outdoors before using this or any
remote vehicle starting device. A running engine produces dangerous carbon
monoxide fumes which can be harmful or fatal if prolonged exposure occurs.
