User Guide P.3
What is EncryptR™ Technology?
EncryptR™ employs proprietary encryption software that sends unique codes from the
remote starter to the ADS-TB or ADS-AL-CA bypass module that cannot be replicated or
reversed with hi-tech equipment.
The EncryptR™ communication exchanged between the remote starter and the ADS bypass
module is best described as a “secret handshake” that is never the same and changes every
time it is used.
Since the command / communication is never exchanged in the same way twice, it is
impossible even for expert thieves to duplicate and it ensures the best possible security for
the remote starter system.
Added Security
Every installation of a Polarstart remote starter used in conjunction with an ADS-TB or an
ADS-AL-CA with the EncryptR™ Technology comes with a Limited Anti-Theft Warranty
covering up to $2,000 in the event of theft. In order to qualify, upon completion of the
installation, your installer should go on-line to www.encryptr.com and fill out the Limited anti-
theft warranty form. A copy should be printed and given to you for your records. Within ten
(10) working days a pair of holographic stickers will be mailed to you. Upon receiving them,
you must ensure to affix them to both front-side windows of your vehicle.
