Congratulations on the purchase of your remote start keyless
entry system. Due to the complexity of this system, it must be

by anyone other than an authorized dealer voids the warranty. All
dealers are provided with a preprinted dealer certificate to verify
that they are authorized.

system, you will maximize the use of this system and its features.
You can print additional or replacement copies of this manual by
accessing the Directed web site at www.directed.com.

The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote is
powered by a small, lightweight 3-volt lithium battery that will
last approximately one year under normal use. When the battery
begins to weaken, operating range will be reduced and the LED
on the remote will dim.

will not be validated if your warranty registration is not returned.

The receiver uses a computer-based learn routine to learn the
transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any specific
transmitter button, or combination of buttons, to any receiver
function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with the
Standard Configuration, but may also be customized by an
authorized dealer. The transmitter buttons indicated in all of the
instructions in this manual correspond to a Standard
Configuration transmitter.
