Important Information
This system has been designed to provide years of trouble-free op-
eration. Due to the complexity of this system, it must only be
installed by an authorized dealer. Installation of this product by
any person other than an authorized dealer voids the warranty. All
dealers are provided with a preprinted dealer certificate to verify
that they are authorized.
This owner’s guide should help you to get the most out of your sys-
tem. Please take the time to read it thoroughly prior to using the
system.
You can print additional or replacement copies of this manual by
downloading this guide from the DEI website at www.dei.com.

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject
to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference re-
ceived, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the

approximately one year under normal use. When the battery weakens,
operating range will be reduced and the LED on the remote will dim.
Your warranty card must be returned and the bar code serial num-
ber must not be removed. If the warranty card is not returned you
do not have a warranty. It is also necessary to keep your proof of
purchase which reflects that the product was installed by an au-
thorized dealer. Make sure you receive the warranty card from
your dealer.

Transmitter Functions
Your vehicle keyless entry system is programmable, making it pos-

er. The buttons in all of the instructions in this manual correspond
to a Standard Configuration transmitter.

Using Your System
Pressing for one second will arm the system and lock the
doors. The red LED will begin to flash once per second. The
Failsafe® Starter Kill will prevent the vehicle’s starter from crank-
ing if it has been installed. If connected, the vehicle's horn will
honk and the parking lights will flash once to confirm arming of
the system. If the ignition is turned on while the system is armed
the horn will honk and the parking lights will flash (if connected).
NOTE: You must use your remote transmitter to lock the vehicle in order
for the system to be armed. Manually locking the vehicle does not arm
the system; it will only lock the doors. If you have not used the remote
transmitter to lock the vehicle doors (i.e. the vehicle has been locked using
the lock/unlock switch) the transmitter cannot be used to unlock the doors.
The system also can be programmed to arm the starter kill auto-
matically (called passive mode). If the system is programmed for
passive mode, it will automatically activate the starter kill 30 sec-
onds after the ignition is turned off. Passive mode is indicated by
rapid flashing of the LED after the ignition is turned off.
NOTE: For passive mode to be effective, the Failsafe® Starter Kill relay
must be installed.
If passive mode is programmed on, it is also possible to program
the system to lock the doors automatically. This is called passive
locking. If passive locking is turned on, care must be taken to pre-
vent the keys from being locked in the vehicle.
