Important Information
Congratulations on the purchase of your remote start keyless entry
system. This system has been designed to provide years of trou-
ble-free operation. By carefully reading this owner's guide prior to
using your system, you will maximize the use of this system and
its features. Additional or replacement copies of this guide can be
printed by accessing the Directed Electronics internet website at
www.directed.com.
The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote is pow-
ered by a miniature 3V lithium battery that lasts approximately
one year under normal use. When the battery weakens, the LED on
the remote will dim and operating range will be reduced.
