Attention! Read the manual prior to use security system and pay attention to the sections
marked with . In order to check whether this security system is suitable for your car
follow a vehicle instruction manual and manufacturer’s requirements.
StarLine security system is a complicated technical appliance implying
connection to vehicle wiring and equipment, including those related to engine operation.
It must be installed by qualified and trained auto electronics technicians only, passed
necessary training and examined on safety rules observing.
The security system configured parameters shall not contradict a vehicle instruction
manual requirements.
User bears a full responsibility on any damage incurred to people, animals and assets as a
result of inappropriate use of security system and violation safety precautions specified in
this manual.
Manufacturer shall not be responsible for any losses and injuries caused with breaching
safety rules described herein.
If your security system has a remote key or a wireless tag (transponder) follow below
recommendations:
Do not carry remote key or tag on the same bundle with a car original keys
Always switch over the system to service mode when handing a car over for
maintenance or car wash. Do not give tags and remote keys to other persons in
order to avoid unauthorized access to security functions
Do not leave remote key or tags in children and animals reach
Avoid any liquids ingress in remote key
Replace battery in remote key once a battery drain warning icon appears on display
Store a spare tag and/ or remote key battery in vehicle inside its factory packing
Mandatory safety precautions while use of remote engine start functionality
It should be borne in mind that a car is a source of extra hazard.
Driver can leave a vehicle only ensured that vehicle cannot move spontaneously or by
unauthorized persons.
Study carefully the mandatory safety precautions for remote engine start option use:
1. Always park a vehicle at open and well ventilated area.
2. Always tighten a parking brake, which shall be fully operable and insure of vehicle
movement.
3. Make sure of leaving vehicle with automatic transmission shifted to parking position and
manual transmission shifted to neutral.
4. On manual transmission version always execute “program neutral” procedure before
leaving a vehicle to be able activate remote engine start then.
5. Never give the security system remote key, tag or mobile phone with StarLine app over
children or other persons unless operation manual carefully studied.
6. Before remote engine start activation make sure of:
• engine and entire vehicle are fully operable with no faults indicated on dashboard;
• sufficient level of fuel, oil, cooling and other technical fluids available;
• necessary parameters of climate control unit, heating and other accessories are
preset;
• set fan regulator to an air circulation position for more effective cabin cooling or
warming up.

Safety precautions while vehicle storage battery charging
Remember that any battery charging process implies supply of voltage exceeding the
rated 12 V to the storage battery and accordingly to vehicle circuits, which may damage
factory electronic and optional electronic equipment f vehicle.
Do not use charging and starting-charging devices for storage battery charging directly on
vehicle without disconnecting battery terminals from vehicle circuits in following modes:
• rapid charging by increased current («boost» or similar modes);
• various START modes intended for engine starting
Never use starting and charging devices for engine starting with main battery disconnected
or with inoperable main batteries connected (short circuits in banks, breakage of plates
etc.)
Never use faulty charging devices, 24V charging devices and other power supply
equipment (i.e. welding inverters), not dedicated to charge 12V vehicle batteries.
It is recommended do not use so named “light up” method for charging vehicle battery and
start engine by connecting cables from a donor vehicle battery.
Owner is fully responsible for possible short circuit or surge voltage and damaging of
security system and vehicle electronic components caused while using this method.
Follow a safe storage battery charging procedure !
Before charging a battery terminals shall be disconnected from vehicle circuits.
Then that battery charging process can be started. After charging, connect battery
terminals back to vehicle circuits.
It is necessary due to impossibility of detecting main battery charge and health state
without specific measuring equipment (i.e. internal short circuits or plates breaks).
Connecting a charging device to an inoperable storage battery may cause a risk of
car electronic equipment and security system damage with increased over limit voltage.

Personal ID card
Delivery set includes an owner personal ID card containing following data:
•Login and password for StarLine personal account at starline.online or StarLine App
•Emergency disarm code for instant security deactivation when regular disarming
methods unavailable.
•Service code to enter main unit configuration parameters in StarLine Master
software
Remove the protection layer from plastic card carefully. Do not use metal and other
materials sharp items to avoid occasional erasing a printed information under layer.
! Do not tell emergency disarm code and StarLine account details to anybody!
! Due to security reasons a personal information from ID card is generated randomly at
factory, never stored in any database and therefore cannot be recovered once it is lost !

monitoring platform and StarLine mobile app with free of charge unlimited subscription.
Make sure that a proper local SIM card with active balance and permission to operate
with M2M smart devices is installed and configured at installation.
Correct APN details for internet access, SMS center number and time zone must be set in
system configuration.
SIM card boot PIN code must be disabled prior to inserting into the main unit.
Check out if the cellular standards and bands supported by the built-in modem in
corresponding hardware version conform to your local operator bands.
Enter Login and Password from personal ID card to sign in starline.online personal web
account or StarLine 2 mobile app (available on Android and iOS platforms).
