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 the
Lock/Unlock 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-9175FT is shown with Icons which
reference the functions of your system.
KEYLESS ENTRY

with the Lock/Unlock symbols as shown. If the doors are locked, they

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 entry feature has been added, when
unlocking the doors the interior light will turn on and remain on for
30 seconds or until the key is turned on.

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.

When you arrive at your vehicle, unlock it with the key or by pressing and releasing the
lock/unlock button of your keychain transmitter. Enter the vehicle and turn the ignition key
to the on position.
