Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art vehicle
security 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
warranty. All dealers are provided with preprinted dealer certifi-
cates 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 a small, lightweight 3 volt lithium battery

that will last 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
Your warranty registration must be returned and the bar code
serial number must not be removed. If the warranty registration
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 authorized dealer. Make sure that you receive the
warranty registration from your dealer.
fcc/id notice

The system uses a computer-based learn routine to learn the
transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any trans-
mitter 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 manual correspond to a Standard
Configuration transmitter.
Standard configuration

The arm, disarm, and panic functions are controlled by this
button.

Remote Controlled Chirp Muting and an optional accessory
function are controlled by . (Remote Controlled Chirp
Muting works by pressing for less than one second before
arming or disarming the system. An optional accessory function,
such as trunk release, can be controlled by pressing for 1.5
seconds.) This accessory output controls __________________.

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 opening
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.
When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:
➤Light impacts will trigger the Warn Away®signal. When
triggered, 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 sys-
tem 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).
note: 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 pro-
grammed on). See Programming Options section of this
guide. Additionally, each time a protected entry is trig-
gered during the arming countdown, the 30-second
countdown starts over.

7
© 2005 directed electronics—all rights reserved
➤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
cranking.
multi-level security arming (optional feature)
Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the
security system's inputs or sensors will be active and which will
be bypassed at the time that the system is armed. (See Table of
Zones section.) Pressing the arm button again within five seconds
of arming the security system will activate the Multi-Level
Security Arming feature. Each time the arm button is pressed
again, a different security level is selected. The different security
levels can be selected as follows:
➤➤Pressing the arm button one time: The siren chirps once. The
system is armed.
➤➤Pressing the arm button a second time within five seconds:
The siren chirps twice followed by a long chirp. Zone Two is
now bypassed.
➤➤Pressing the arm button a third time within five seconds: The
siren chirps three times followed by a long chirp. Zone Four
is now bypassed.
note: Multi-Level Security Arming is only available when
using an optional Radar Master transmitter that has been
configured with separate transmitter buttons for arming
and disarming.
