interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with the Industry Canada Radio Standards Specification RSS 210. Its use is
authorized only on a no-interference, no-protection basis; in other words, this device must not be
used if it is determined that it causes harmful interferences to services authorized by IC. In
addition, the user of this device must accept any radio interface that may be received, even if this
interference could affect the operation of the device.
Warning! Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate this device.

Using the Remote Control
Your remote system is equipped with a 5-button multi-channel remote control. The functions of the
transmitter are as follows:
LOCK (LED 1): Locks the
doors.
UNLOCK (LED 2):
Unlocks the doors.
TRUNK (LED 3): Opens
the TRUNK. START (LED 4): Remote starts the engine.
SHIFT
: This button
serves as a second function
button. In combination with the
other four buttons, this button
allows to assign different
functions to those buttons.
N.B.: Pressing then the LOCK button will activate the AUX 1 output.
Pressing then the UNLOCK button will activate the AUX 2 output.
Vehicle Presets (only with remote starter)
Heater
When leaving the vehicle it is recommended to preset the accessory controls in preparation for the
next remote start. Settings for the blower motor (fan), front and rear, should not be left on HIGH. It
is recommended to leave the settings on LOW or MEDIUM instead.
Windshield Wipers, Radio &Headlights
Certain vehicles require the radio and / or windshield wipers and / or headlights circuits to become
energized while running under remote start. When leaving the vehicle you must ensure that the
windshield wipers and headlights switches are OFF. Leaving the headlights switch ON in certain
types of vehicles could cause them to remain ON even after remote starter shutdown, resulting in a
dead battery.

Troubleshooting Poor Transmission Range
Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are:
•The condition of the battery in the transmitter.
•The operating environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency noise, airports, cellular
phone towers…).
•Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the vehicle itself.
•The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well (vans in general have less range).
•The shape of the roof and A-pillars brings about considerable radio-frequency deflection (in
this case, the signal from the remote control). As a result, the direction in which the vehicle is
facing in relation to the remote control can affect the range. Straight on (standing in front of
the vehicle) generally gives you the greatest range; the second best performance is from the
back. Using the remote control from either side of the vehicle will usually give the lowest
range.
•The range will be significantly lower in a crowded parking lot than in open space.
•Always hold the transmitter high, approximately at shoulder height.
•The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or
factory alarm.
