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 unlock your system.
Youranti-codegrabbingtransmitterswillchangetheirsignaleverytimethebuttonispressed,
so when a thief grabs then re-transmits your signal, the 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 the
Lock button 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 PRO-9175FT4 is shown below.
KEYLESS ENTRY
1. To lock or unlock the doors simply press and release the transmitter
button with the Lock or Unlock symbol. As a keyless entry unit, for your
convenience,the parking lights willflash once when thedoors are locked
and twice when the door are unlocked. If the optional illuminated entry
feature has been added, the interior light will turn on when the doors are
unlocked and remain on for 30 seconds or until the ignition is turned on.
Holding the lock or unlock transmitter button for 3 seconds will activate
the car finder mode causing the parking lights to flash for 30 seconds or
until the button is activated again for 3 seconds or anyother button is
operated.
NOTE: This system has the ability to unlock the drivers door with the first press of the
unlock transmitter button and then unlock all other doors when the unlock button is
pressed a second time. This optioanl feature may require additional components.
Consult your installation center to determine if this feature has been added to your
vehicle.
