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 a preprinted dealer certificate 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 thoroughly prior to using the system. You can print extra or replacement copies of this guide from DEI's website at www.dei.com. 2 © 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc. Your Warranty Your warranty card must be returned and the bar code serial number must not be removed. If the warranty card is not returned you don't 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 you receive the warranty card from your dealer. FCC/ID Notice This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this device. © 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc. 3 Using Your System Arming You can activate, or arm, the system by locking the doors with your factory keyless entry transmitter. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound, or chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. While the system is armed, the status LED will flash about twice a second, showing that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming, and see the status LED flashing in groups, see Diagnostics section. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification. NOTE: If the ignition is turned on within 60 seconds of arming the system, the system will automatically disarm. 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. When the system arms the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash once. The doors lock (if connected and programmed for passive locking). 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. Additionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over. 4 © 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc. 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 30 or 60 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 system with your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door while the system is armed, while still providing instant response (even if the door is immediately closed). NOTE: If programmed for 15 second entry delay, the system will provide an instant trigger 15 seconds after the door has been opened (see Programming Options) The starter interrupt prevents the vehicle's starter from cranking. Disarming To disarm the system, unlock the doors using your factory keyless transmitter. You will hear two chirps, and the parking lights will flash twice. If the siren chirps either four or five times when disarming, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This is called Tamper Alert. © 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc. 5 Disarming the System Without a Transmitter This feature allows you to override the system without the transmitter should it be lost, damaged or disabled. To do this, you must have the vehicle's ignition key and know where the Valet® button is located. Be sure to check with the installer for the location of the Valet® button. Turn the ignition to the "run" position. Press and release the Valet® switch, within 10 seconds. After a few seconds the LED will stop flashing and the vehicle should start. If it does not, you may have waited too long. Turn the ignition off and try again. Valet® Mode You can prevent your system from automatically arming and locking the doors, by using Valet® Mode. This is very useful when washing the vehicle or having it service ...
