Congratulations on the purchase of your remote start keyless
entry system. This system will allow convenient access to your
vehicle with the push of a button, as well as remote start and
other optional features. Properly installed, this system will
provide years of trouble-free operation.
Please take the time to carefully read this User’s Guide in its
entirety and watch the Rattler Do-It-Yourself Installation Video
prior to installing your system.

The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote is
powered by a miniature 3-volt lithium battery that will last
approximately one year under normal use. When the battery
begins to weaken, operating range will be reduced and the LED
on the remote will dim.

important! If you are not comfortable working with elec-
tronics or unfamiliar with the tools required, please con-
tact your local dealer for advice or ask to have the remote
start professionally installed to avoid costly damages.
Failure to properly install the remote starter may result in
property damage, personal injury, or both.
