Important Information
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 only be installed by an authorized dealer. Installation of this
product by anyone other than an authorized dealer voids the
warranty. All dealers are provided with preprinted dealer certifi-
cates as proof of authorization.
This owner’s guide should help you to get the most out of your
system. Please take the time to read it thoroughly prior to using
this system. Additional or replacement copies of this manual may
be downloaded from the DEI®website at www.directed.com.

This system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote control
is powered either by a miniature 12V battery, type GP23A, or a
lightweight 3-volt lithium battery, both of which will last approx-
imately one year under normal use. Contact your dealer if you have
any questions. 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
number must not be removed. If the warranty card is not returned
you do not have a warranty. Make sure you receive the warranty
card from your dealer. It is also necessary to keep your proof of
purchase, which indicates that the product was installed by an au-
thorized dealer.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate this device.

Transmitter Functions
The receiver uses a computer-based Learn Routine to learn the
transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any button on
the remote transmitter to any receiver function. Two possible
transmitter configurations are described in this section. Remember
that there are many alternate custom configurations that can be
programmed by your dealer.
The standard configuration is how the transmitters come programmed
initially. If you would like a custom configuration, contact an
authorized dealer.
Button I
The arm, disarm, and panic functions are usually controlled by
pressing .
Button II
Silent Mode™, Remote Valet®, and optional trunk release (if
equipped) functions are usually controlled by . (Silent Mode
and Remote Valet work by pressing for less than one second.
Trunk release requires you to press and hold for 1.5 seconds.)
Button III
An optional auxiliary convenience or expansion function that you
may have added to your system can be activated by pressing .
This auxiliary output controls _____________________________.

A remote that uses the expanded configuration operates similarly
to many factory keyless entry remotes. An expanded configuration
transmitter allows you to arm, disarm, and activate Panic Mode
with separate transmitter buttons. The expanded configuration
also allows you to utilize Multi-Level Security Arming, an addi-
tional feature that cannot be utilized when using a standard
configuration transmitter. (See Multi-Level Security Arming Section
of this guide for details about this feature.) The transmitter
buttons are used for the following functions in the expanded
configuration:
