Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art vehicle
security system. This system has been designed to provide years
of trouble-free operation. Due to the complexity of this system,
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 provided with preprinted dealer certifi-
cates to verify that they are authorized.
This owner’s guide should help you to get the most out of your
system. Please take the time to read it prior to using the system.

system maintenance
This system needs no specific maintenance beyond remote
control battery replacement. The remote is powered by a 1.5V
AAA battery.
The Battery Level indicator has four level indicators that serve as
a visual indication of battery charge. When the battery reaches a
low charge level that requires replacement, the remote control
will generate a single notification chirp, and the Battery Level
indicator will flash continuously.
Battery Replacement
Gently pull the end of the battery door away from the top of the
remote control then slide the door up to expose the battery and
remove the expired battery. Place the new battery into the
remote control observing the correct polarity. When power is
returned the remote control will light all icons in the LCD and
generate all beeper tones once.
your warrantywwaarrrraannttyy
Your warranty registration must be returned and the bar code
serial number must not be removed. If the warranty registration
is not returned, you do not have a warranty. It is also necessary
to keep your proof of purchase, which reflects that the product
was installed by an authorized dealer. Make sure that you receive
the warranty registration from your dealer.

This security system operates at 434 MHz and incorporates
Directed’s proprietary XHF2 out-board Responder Technology
remote control. The high frequency combined with Binary Data
communication achieves superior range with two-way commu-
nication.
system signal paging features
A page is the signal the control module sends to the remote
control as confirmation of receipt of a command or alarm system
status.
When the remote control receives a page it will generate a page
notification to the user (notifications are audible beeps or remote
vibration) and the LCD Icons will display the current system
status.
Command Page
When a command (arm/disarm, remote start, or auxiliary
channel) from the remote control is sent and received, the system
will send a command page back to confirm receipt.
➜

12 © 2004 directed electronics, inc.
Alarm Page
If the alarm system is triggered while armed, an Alarm Page will
be sent to the remote control. After receipt of an Alarm Page, the
LCD icons will display the alarm system status information and
the remote control will generate Alarm Page alerts.
An Alarm Page alert is a single beep or vibration from the remote
control every 60 seconds to alert the user that the alarm system
was triggered and will continue until the alarm page is cleared.
Page Recognition Mode
The remote control will leave a zone icon illuminated when it
has received a triggered response and will wait for you to recog-
nize the violation. Press any button on the remote control, the
LCD information and Alarm Page alerts will be cleared.
note: The remote control buttons will not send a com-
mand to the system until the alarm page is cleared.
note: If the transmiter is paged with an Alarm Page and
the WarnAway®is triggered before the Alarm Page is
recieved the transmitter will report the WarnAway®only
until the system is disarmed.
note: When the system is in Valet mode, the remote con-
trol will show the lock (5) and unlock (6) icons, but will
not generate a command page.

distinctive two-tone remote start beeps.
Vibrate Mode
Vibrate Mode makes page notification silent but does not include
diagnostic information or distinctive remote start notification.
Illumination
Illumination for the LCD display can be programmed on or off.
When programmed on the LCD will illuminate every time the
remote control receives a page or transmits a command.
Programming illumination on will decrease the life expectancy of
the battery.
Beep/Vibrate Mode

The buttons used in the instructions in this manual correspond
to the standard configuration. Remember, this is not the only
way your transmitter may be set up. It can be custom configured
to meet your needs.
active arming
You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing on your
transmitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear
a short siren sound, or chirp, and the parking lights will flash
once. If the vehicle’s power door locks have been connected to
the system, the doors will lock.
While the system is armed, the status LED will flash approxi-
mately once per second, indicating that the system is actively
protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming,
and see the status LED flashing in groups, refer to the
Diagnostics
section of this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.
passive arming
The system also can be programmed to arm itself automatically
(called passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive
arming, it will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is
turned off and the system "sees" you leave the vehicle by opening
and closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-second
passive-arming countdown, the status LED will flash twice as
➜

fast as it does when the system is armed. The siren will chirp
once 20 seconds after the last door has been closed. The system
is not actually armed at that point. The system arms and the
doors lock (if connected and programmed for passive locking) at
the 30 second mark, but the siren will not chirp. The early chirp
provides you with a 10-second warning prior to arming.
When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:
➤Light impacts will trigger the Warn Away®signal. When
triggered, the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash
for a few seconds.
➤Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered
sequence is between 1-180 seconds of constant siren and
flashing parking lights.
➤If a door is opened, the system will immediately start
chirping the siren and flashing the parking lights. Three
seconds later, the siren output changes to a continuous blast.
This progressive response gives you time to disarm the sys-
tem with your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door
while the system is armed, while still providing an instant
response (even if the door is immediately closed).
note: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a
switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will
not passively arm (unless forced passive arming is pro-
grammed on). See Programming Options section of this
guide. Additionally, each time a protected entry is trig-
gered during the arming countdown, the 30-second
countdown starts over.

17
© 2004 directed electronics, inc.
➤Turning on the ignition key will trip the same two-stage
response as opening a door.
➤The optional starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from
cranking.
multi-level security arming
Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the
security system's inputs or sensors will be active and which will
be bypassed at the time that the system is armed. (See the
Table
of Zones
section of this guide.) Pressing again within five
seconds of arming the security system will activate the Multi-
Level Security Arming feature. Each time is pressed again, a
different security level is selected. The different security levels
can be selected as follows:
➤Press one time: The siren chirps once. The system is
armed.
➤Press a second time within five seconds: The siren
chirps twice followed by a long chirp. Zone 2 is now
bypassed.
➤Press a third time within five seconds: The siren chirps
three times followed by a long chirp. Zone 4 is now
bypassed.
➤Press a fourth time within five seconds: The siren chirps
four times followed by a long chirp. Zones 2 and 4 are now
bypassed.
➤Press a fifth time within five seconds: The siren chirps
five times followed by a long chirp. All input zones, except
