Important Information
This security system has been designed to provide years of trouble-
free operation. Due to its complexity, 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 pro-
vided with preprinted dealer certificates to verify that they are
authorized.
By carefully reading this owner's guide prior to using your secu-
rity system, you will maximize the use of this system and its
features.

4©1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.
This system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote is pow-
ered by a miniature 3-volt battery, type 2032, that lasts approximately
one year under normal use. When the battery weakens, the LED on
the remote will dim and operating range will be reduced.
Your warranty card must be returned and the barcode serial number
must not be removed. If the warranty card is not returned, no war-
ranty will be honored on your unit. It is also necessary to keep your
proof of purchase, which reflects that the product was installed by
an authorized dealer. Make sure you receive the warranty card from
your dealer.
This device complies with part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harm-
ful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference
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.
