TERMS OF USE
INSTALLER TERMS OF USE
Automotive Data Solutions Inc. (“ADS”) products are strictly intended for installation by Certified Technicians
who are employed by a registered business specialized in the installation of automotive aftermarket electronics
products. Prior to beginning installation of an ADS product in a vehicle, it is the Certified Technician’s
responsibility to review the most current Product Guide, Install Guide and vehicle-specific notes available in
Weblink®. ADS is not responsible for any damages whatsoever, including but not limited to any consequential
damages, incidental damages, damages for loss of time, loss of earnings, loss of profit, commercial loss, loss of
economic opportunity and the like that may or may not have resulted from the use, misuse, improper

END USER TERMS OF USE
ADS products are designed to remote start vehicles from a distance. In order to ensure your iDatastart system
meets all safety regulations and operates as intended by the manufacturer, please follow the usage
recommendations below:
• DO NOT use this product for any purpose other than its intended usage.
• DO NOT remote start a vehicle in an indoor or enclosed area (i.e. garage). Exhaust fumes are extremely
dangerous and can cause personal injury or death. Install carbon monoxide detectors in every living area that
can be exposed to vehicle exhaust fumes.
• DO NOT remote start a vehicle while it is being serviced. Follow the Valet Mode procedure as outlined in your
Owner’s Manual.
• DO NOT remote start a vehicle in gear.
• DO NOT remote start a vehicle with the key in the ignition.
• DO NOT remote start a vehicle left unattended with open windows, unlocked doors or open convertible top.
• DO NOT allow children handle or operate long range remotes.
• ALWAYS engage your emergency brake prior to exiting your vehicle. This may limit motion if the vehicle is
accidentally started in gear.
• AVOID remote starting your vehicle while passengers or pets are on board. This may increase the risk of

shifter being put in gear after vehicle has been remote started.
• AVOID parking your vehicle on an inclined surface or an area surrounded by obstacles. For manual vehicles,
ALWAYS ensure the Reservation Mode sequence, as outlined in your Owner’s Manual, is correctly engaged prior
to the next remote start.
• AVOID delaying the inspection of your iDatastart system in the event of malfunction. Immediately contact a
Certified Technician to ensure that installation or defective equipment is properly addressed.

SAR INFORMATION STATEMENT
Your wireless REMOTE CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that
were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless REMOTE CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 4.0 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted
with the REMOTE CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of
the REMOTE CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because
the REMOTE CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the
power required to reach the network.
In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a REMOTE
CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC
that it does not exceed the limit established by the government adopted requirement for safe exposure. The
tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for
each model. The highest SAR value for this model REMOTE CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) when tested for use at the
extremity is 0.030W/Kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various REMOTE CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has granted an
Equipment Authorization for this model REMOTE CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model REMOTE CAR

TR1150AR
2022-03-10 © Automotive Data Solutions Inc. 15/15
STARTER (TWO WAY) is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on the Grantee Code: 2AEPJ. Additional information on Specific
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA)
website at http://www.wow-com.com.*
In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for REMOTE CAR STARTER (TWO WAY) used by the public is 4.0
watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to
give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
This device complies with FCC and ISED 10-g extremity SAR requirements when the device is used at 0 mm
separation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
