Important information
Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art vehicle se-
curity system. This system has been designed to provide years
of trouble-free operation. Due to the complexity of this system, it
must be installed by an authorized dealer only. Installation of this
product by anyone other than an authorized dealer voids the war-
ranty. All dealers are provided with preprinted dealer certificates
to verify that they are authorized.
This owner’s guide should help you to get the most out of your
system. Please take the time to read it prior to using the system.
➢System maintenance
The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote control
is powered by 2 small, lightweight CR2016 batteries. When the
batteries weakens, operating range will be reduced and the LED
on the remote will dim.

Transmitter functions
The system uses a computer-based learn routine to learn the trans-
mitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any transmitter button
to any system function. The transmitter initially comes programmed
with Standard Configuration, but may also be customized by an
authorized dealer. The buttons in all of the instructions in this man-
ual correspond to a Standard Configuration transmitter.

Using your system
The buttons used in the instructions in this manual correspond to
the standard configuration. Remember, this is not the only way
your transmitter may be set up. It can be custom configured to
meet your needs.
➢Active arming
You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing

on your
transmitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear
a short siren sound, or chirp, and the parking lights will flash
once. If the vehicle’s power door locks have been connected to
the system, the doors will lock.
While the system is armed, the status LED will flash approximately
once per second, indicating that the system is actively protecting
your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming, and see the
status LED flashing in groups, refer to the Diagnostics section of this
guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.
➢Passive arming
The system also can be programmed to arm itself automatically
(called passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive
arming, it will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is
turned off and the system “sees” you leave the vehicle by open-
ing and closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-second
passive-arming countdown, the status LED will flash twice as fast
as it does when the system is armed. The siren will chirp one time
20 seconds after the last door has been closed. The system is
not actually armed at that point. The system arms and the doors
lock (if connected and programmed for passive locking) at the 30
second mark, but the siren will not chirp. The early chirp provides
you with a 10-second warning prior to arming.

9

If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switch-protected
trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm (unless
forced passive arming is programmed on). See Programming Op-
tions section of this guide. Additionally, each time a protected
entry is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second
countdown starts over.
When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:
Light impacts will trigger the Warn Away®signal. When trig-
gered, the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash for a
few seconds.
Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered sequence is
between 1-180 seconds of constant siren and flashing parking
lights.
If a door is opened, the system will immediately start chirping the
siren and flashing the parking lights. Three seconds later, the siren
output changes to a continuous blast. This progressive response
gives you time to disarm the system with your transmitter if you
inadvertently open the door while the system is armed, while still
providing an instant response (even if the door is immediately
closed).
Turning on the ignition key will trip the same two-stage response
as opening a door.
The optional starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from crank-
ing.

➢Multi-level security arming
The Multi-Level Security Arming feature is available with the four-
button transmitter only.
Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the se-
curity system’s inputs or sensors are to be active and which are to
be bypassed, when arming the system. (See the Table of Zones
section of this guide.)
Pressing

again within five seconds of arming the security
system will activate the Multi-Level Security Arming feature.
Each time

is pressed again, a different security level is se-
lected. The different security levels can be selected as follows:
Press•

once: The siren chirps once. The system is
armed.
Press•

twice within five seconds: The siren chirps twice
followed by a long chirp. Zone 2 is now bypassed.
Press•

three times, within five seconds the siren chirps
three times followed by a long chirp. Zone 4 is now by-
passed.
Press•

a fourth time within five seconds: The siren chirps
four times followed by a long chirp. Zones 2 and 4 are now
bypassed.
Press•

a fifth time within five seconds: The siren chirps five
times followed by a long chirp. All input zones, except the

11

ignition, are now bypassed.
Hold down the•

to begin the Multi-Level Security Arming
cycle over again.
Note: Multi-Level Security Arming only applies to a single arming
cycle. Once the system is disarmed and then re-armed, all the
zones will be active again.
➢Arming while driving
Your system can be armed while driving the vehicle.
Press

on your transmitter for two seconds while the vehicle is
running or while the ignition is on. The siren chirps once, and then
once more indicating that the ignition is on. The security system
does not respond to any input except the door triggers and the
Failsafe® Starter Kill (if installed) will not activate.
The security system disarms automatically when the ignition is
turned off. The siren chirps twice and the LED stops flashing.
Note: If programmed for the optional Vehicle Recovery System
(VRS®) feature, arming with the transmitter arms the VRS® feature.
(See VRS® section of this guide.)

12 © 2008 Directed Electronics- All rights reserved.
➢Disarming
To disarm the system, press

. You will hear two chirps, and the
parking lights will flash twice. If the power locks are connected to
the system, the doors will unlock. If the siren chirps either four or
five times when disarming, refer to the Diagnostics section of this
guide. This is called Tamper Alert.
➢High security disarm
This security system offers High Security Disarm. High Security
Disarm is a feature that makes it possible to silence and reset the
system while it is triggering, without disarming the system.
If the system is triggered and the siren has been sounding for
longer than six seconds, pressing

on the remote transmitter will
stop the trigger and return the unit to the armed state. The system
will not disarm, but rather reset. This prevents you from disabling
the system should you wish to disarm it without visually checking
the vehicle.
Pressing

while the alarm is triggering will disarm the system.

13

➢Disarming without a transmitter
This feature allows you to disarm the security system without the
remote transmitter should it be lost, damaged, or disabled. In order
to disarm the system without a remote transmitter, you must have the
vehicle’s ignition key and know where the Valet switch is located.
Be sure to check with the installer for the location and the number of
presses of the Valet switch required to disarm the system.
To disarm the security system,
turn the ignition to the ON po-
sition. Press the Valet switch
the preset number of times
(one to five times) within 15
seconds.
After 5 seconds, the system will now disarm. If the system does
not disarm, you may have waited too long; turn the ignition off
and on and try again.
Location of Valet switch_________________________________
Number of Presses______________________________________
Important! The unit can be programmed to respond to one to five
presses of the Valet switch for the disarm function. Be sure to check
with the installer for the desired programming.

➢Silent mode
To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use Silent
Mode™.
Press

for less than one second before arming or disarming,
and the confirmation chirp(s) will be eliminated for that one oper-
ation only. If you want the arm/disarm chirps turned off perma-
nently, your dealer can do this for you.
The Warn Away® response to lighter impacts is bypassed if the
system is armed using Silent Mode. This ensures that no chirps
will be emitted by the siren in an area you want chirp-free. The
system is still fully capable of triggering, only the Warn Away®
response is bypassed.
➢Panic mode
If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract atten-
tion by triggering the system with your transmitter. Just press
for two seconds, and you will enter Panic Mode. The siren
will sound and the parking lights will flash for the programmed
siren duration. To stop Panic Mode at any time, press on the
remote transmitter again.
➢Valet mode
You can prevent your security system from automatically arming
and triggering by using Valet Mode. This is very useful when
washing the vehicle or having it serviced. In Valet Mode, the
security system will not arm, even with the remote transmitter, but
all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) will con-
tinue to work normally.

15

To enter or exit Valet Mode:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Turn the ignition off.
3. Press and release
the Valet switch within 10
seconds.
The status LED lights solidly if you are entering Valet Mode, and
goes out if you are exiting Valet Mode.
To enter or exit Valet Mode using the transmitter:
1. Open any vehicle door.
2. Press

.
3. Press

.
4. Press

again.
The status LED will light solidly if you are entering Valet Mode, and
it will go out if you are exiting Valet Mode.
➢Nuisance Prevention Circuitry®
Your system has Directed’s Nuisance Prevention®Circuitry (NPC®).
It prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty
door pin switches or environmental conditions such as thunder,
jackhammers, airport noise, etc.
Example
If the alarm triggers three times within a 60-minute period and each
time the same sensor or switch triggers the alarm, NPC will interpret
those triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger, NPC ignores,
or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along with any other sensors or
switches sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes.

16 © 2008 Directed Electronics- All rights reserved.
If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the system while it is being
bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This en-
sures that a sensor that continually triggers will remain bypassed.
Doors are covered by NPC differently; if the alarm is triggered
by an open door for three full cycles, the doors will be bypassed
until the trigger ceases.
Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function!. The
only ways to reset a bypassed zone are for it to not trigger for 60
minutes, or to turn on the ignition. If testing your system, it is impor-
tant to remember that the NPC programming can cause zones to
be bypassed and appear to stop working. If five chirps are heard
when disarming, NPC has been engaged. If you wish to clear the
NPC memory, turn the ignition key on.
NPC is programmable. See Programming Options section of this
guide.

Diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your security system is constant-
ly monitoring all of the switches and sensors that are connected
to it. It detects any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them
from disabling the entire system. The microprocessor will also re-
cord and report any triggers that occurred during your absence.
Refer to the System Status Chirps and Table of Zones charts for
diagnostic information.
➢Arming diagnostics
If the system is armed while an input is active (door open, sensor
triggering, etc.) the unit will chirp once when arming and then
one more time a few seconds later. This is called Bypass Notifica-
tion.
Note: Bypass Notification will not occur when using Silent
Mode™ or if chirps have been programmed OFF.
The security system will ignore the input that was active when the
system was armed, until the input goes away. Three seconds later
the system will monitor that input normally. For example, if your
vehicle has interior light exit delay, and you arm the system be-
fore the interior light goes out, you may hear Bypass Notification
chirps. Once the light shuts off, however, the doors are monitored
normally.

18 © 2008 Directed Electronics- All rights reserved.
➢Disarming diagnostics
Extra disarm chirps are the Tamper Alert. If four chirps are heard
when disarming, the system was triggered in your absence. If
five chirps are heard, a zone was triggered so many times that
Nuisance Prevention®Circuitry has bypassed that zone. In either
case, the status LED will indicate which zone was involved. (See
Table of Zones section of this guide.) The system will retain this
information in its memory, and continue to chirp four or five times
each time it is disarmed, until the next time the ignition key is
turned on.
➢System status chirps
The siren will chirp when arming/disarming the system. The pat-
tern of chirps will audibly report the system’s status as described
below.
Action Number of Chirps Description
Arm 1 System armed
Arm 1 (3 second delay), 1 System armed with
zone active
Disarm 2 System disarmed
Disarm 4 System disarmed with
zone violation report
Disarm 5 System disarmed NPC®
