Congratulations on the purchase of your remote start keyless entry
system. This system has been designed to provide years of trou-
ble-free operation. By carefully reading this owner's guide prior to
using your system, you will maximize the use of this system and
its features. Additional or replacement copies of this guide can be
printed by accessing the Directed Electronics internet website at
www.directed.com.
The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote is pow-
ered by a miniature 3V lithium battery 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.

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 autho-
rized dealer. Unless otherwise specified, the buttons used in all of
the instructions in this manual correspond to a Standard
Configuration transmitter.

The following safety warnings must be observed at all times:
■Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this
product must only be performed by an authorized Directed
Electronics dealer.
■When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via
a command signal from the remote control transmitter.
Therefore, never operate the system in an enclosed area or
partially enclosed area without ventilation (such as a
garage). When parking in an enclosed or partially enclosed
area or when having the vehicle serviced, the remote start
system must be disabled using the installed toggle switch. It
is the user's sole responsibility to properly handle and keep
out of reach from children all remote control transmitters to
