➤System maintenance
The system requires no specific maintenance other than battery replacement for the remote.
LCD 2-Way Remote Battery Replacement
The 2-way remote is powered by a 1.5V AAA battery. The Battery indicator has three levels that serve as a
visual indication of battery charge. When the battery reaches a low charge level that requires replacement,
the remote will generate a single notication chirp, and the Battery Level indicator will ash continuously.
To replace the battery, gently pull the battery cover release tab, then slide the door down to expose the battery
and remove the expired battery. Place the new battery into the remote observing the correct polarity. When
power is returned to the remote the all icons on the remote LCD are illuminated and the remote generates all
beeper tones once.

LCD 2-way remote operation
The remote start system operates at 434 MHz and incorporates Directed’s proprietary A.S.K. out-board two-way
remote. The high frequency combined with Binary Data communication achieves superior range with two-way
communication.
➤Paging features
The control module sends a page to the remote as confirmation of a received command, or alarm system status.
When the remote receives a page a notification, it beeps or vibrates and the alarm status, armed or disarmed, (the
lock or unlock icon) appears on the LCD. If the alarm has been triggered, the remote LC displays the zone trig-
gered. To clear the alarm page, press any button on the remote. The LCD information is also cleared.
Note: You will not be able to send a command, until the
alarm page is cleared.
