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.

Transmitter Functions
Your vehicle keyless entry system is programmable, making it pos-
sible to assign any transmitter button to any specific receiver func-
tion. The transmitter initially comes programmed with Standard
Configuration, but may also be customized by an authorized deal-
er. The buttons in all of the instructions in this manual correspond
to a Standard Configuration transmitter.
Button
The arm/lock, disarm/unlock, and panic functions are controlled by
. Pressing for one second will alternately arm/lock or dis-
arm/unlock. Panic Mode is activated by pressing for 1.5 seconds.
Button
Silent Mode and an optional auxiliary function are controlled by
pressing . Silent Mode™ works by pressing for less than
one second prior to arming or disarming with the transmitter. An
optional auxiliary function is controlled by pressing and holding
for 1.5 seconds.

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.
Arming/Locking

7
©1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.
To disarm the system and unlock the doors of the vehicle, press
for one second. The Failsafe® Starter Kill will be deactivated
and the vehicle’s horn (if connected) will honk twice. The parking
lights will also flash twice (if connected). The red LED will go out,
unless the system is programmed for passive mode. If programmed
for passive mode, the LED will begin to flash rapidly when the sys-
tem is disarmed. This indicates that the system will re-engage the
Failsafe® Starter Kill relay and re-lock the doors (if passive locking
is selected) in 30 seconds unless the key is turned on.
NOTE: If the system has been armed with the remote transmitter, you
must use the transmitter or the Valet switch to disarm the system and
deactivate the starter kill. Manually unlocking the vehicle does not dis-
arm the system; it will only unlock the doors.
This feature allows you to override the starter kill without the
transmitter should it be lost, damaged or disabled. To do this, you
must have the ignition key and know where the Valet® switch is
located. Check with the installer for the location of the Valet® switch.
Turn the ignition to the "run"
position. Press and release the
Valet® switch, within 10 seconds.
The LED will stop flashing and the
vehicle should start. If it does not,
you may have waited too long.
Turn the ignition off and try again.

Disarming the Failsafe® Starter Kill without a Transmitter
Disarming/Unlocking

8©1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.
Use the Silent Mode to temporarily turn off the arm or disarm con-
firmation honks by briefly pressing before either arming or
disarming the system. The confirmation honk(s) will then be elim-
inated for that one operation only. To permanently turn off the
arm and disarm confirmation honks, contact your installation
dealer.
You can prevent your system from automatically activating the
Failsafe® Starter Kill relay and locking the doors, by using Valet®
Mode. This is very useful when washing the vehicle or having it
serviced. In Valet® Mode, the system will not activate the Starter
Kill, even with the transmitter, but all convenience functions
(door locks, trunk release, etc.) will work normally.
To enter or exit Valet®Mode with the Valet switch
Turn ignition to “on” position,
then turn to “off” position. Press
and release the Valet switch within
10 seconds. The status LED will
light steady if you have entered
Valet Mode. To exit Valet Mode,
repeat the steps above. The LED
will turn off when exiting Valet
Mode.

If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract
attention by triggering the system with your transmitter! Just
press for 1.5 seconds, and you will enter Panic Mode. The
horn will honk and the parking lights will flash for 30 seconds. To
stop Panic Mode at any time, press on the transmitter.
NOTE: In order for Panic Mode to function, the vehicle’s horn (or option-
al siren) as well as the vehicle's parking lights must be connected.
Rapid Resume Logic
The system will store its current state to non-volatile memory. If
power is lost and then reconnected the system will recall the
stored state from memory. If the unit is in Valet®Mode and the bat-
tery is disconnected for any reason, such as servicing the car, when
the battery is reconnected the unit will still be in Valet Mode. This
applies to all system states including arm, disarm, and Valet Mode.

Programming Options
Programming options control what your system does during normal
operation, and require little or no additional parts. However, some
may require additional installation labor.
The following list of program settings shows the defaults in Bold:
■Passive mode or active mode. In passive mode the Failsafe
Starter Kill relay will be automatically activated 30 seconds
after the ignition key is turned off.
■Both the ignition switch-controlled door lock and unlock fea-
tures can be turned on or off. If ignition door lock is on, the
vehicle's doors will lock three seconds after the key is turned
on. If ignition door unlock is on, the vehicle's doors will
unlock when the key is turned off.
■Passive door locking (with passive arming) or active door
locking (only when arming with the transmitter). This feature
only works if passive arming has been turned on.
■The locking and unlocking horn honk confirmations can be
programmed on or off. The vehicle’s horn must be connected.
■Domelight supervision when the key is turned off can be pro-
grammed on or off. If programmed on, the domelight will turn
on for 30 seconds each time the ignition is turned off.

Owner Recognition
Owner Recognition is a feature available exclusively from DEI®.
Using a DEI®Bitwriter hand-held programming tool, your dealer
can program many of the system settings. The programmer makes
it possible to program different settings for each transmitter that
is used with the system. Then, whenever a specific transmitter is
used, the system will recall the settings assigned to that transmit-
ter. Owner Recognition lets up to four users of the system have dif-
ferent settings that meet their specific needs. It is almost like hav-
ing four separate alarms in your vehicle, one for each user.
NOTE: Owner Recognition cannot be programmed without a Bitwriter and
the necessary software. Check with your dealer for more information.
Security & Convenience
Expansions
Here we have listed only some of the many expansion options
available. Please consult your dealer for a complete explanation of
all the options available to you.
Domelight Supervision: If installed, the domelight will illuminate
for 30 seconds each time the system is disarmed using the trans-
mitter. This is useful for seeing inside the vehicle at night prior to
entering it.

Valet® Start System: For the ultimate in convenience, the Valet®
Start System can start your vehicle, monitor engine functions, and
power your climate control system with a push of a button! Over-
rev protection, open-hood lockout, brake-pedal shutoff, and auto-
matic timer shutoff are all included. This option is available only
for automatic-transmission, fuel-injected gasoline vehicles.
Power Window Control: Power window control is provided with
the 529T or 530T systems. The 529T system will roll up two win-
dows automatically when the system is armed, or roll two windows
down. The 530T can roll two windows both up and down. The 530T
also provides one touch switch operation.
Power Trunk Release: An auxiliary output of the system can oper-
ate a factory power release for the vehicle's trunk or hatch. If the
factory release is not power-activated, DEI's 522T trunk-release
solenoid can often be added.
Progressive Door Unlocking: For added security, your system can
be configured to only unlock the driver's door when the unlock
button is pressed. The passenger door(s) can then be unlocked by
pressing the unlock button again within 15 seconds of unlocking
the driver's door.
820T Valet® Car★Com™: The 820T is a one-way pager system that
can be added to any compatible DEI security system. Using the
820T, many of the security and convenience features of your DEI
security system can be operated from any touch tone telephone.

neath the dash area. It houses the microprocessor which monitors
your vehicle and controls all of the alarm’s functions.
Failsafe®Starter Kill: An automatic switch controlled by the secu-
rity system that prevents the starter from cranking whenever the
system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from cranking
when the system is disarmed, in Valet®mode, or should the starter
kill switch itself fail. Your system is ready for this feature, howev-
er installation of this feature may require additional labor.
LED: Red light mounted somewhere in the vehicle. It is used to
indicate the status of your system. It is also used to report trig-
gers and faults in the system or sensors.
Transmitter: Hand-held, remote control which operates the vari-
ous functions of your system.
Valet®Switch: A small push button switch mounted somewhere
inside the vehicle. It is used to override the alarm when a trans-
mitter is lost or damaged, or to enter Valet®mode.
