Important Information

This system has been designed to provide years of trouble-free op-

eration. Due to the complexity of this system, it must only be

installed by an authorized dealer. Installation of this product by

any person 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 sys-

tem. Please take the time to read it thoroughly prior to using the

system.

You can print additional or replacement copies of this manual by

downloading this guide from the DEI website at www.dei.com.

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject

to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful

interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference re-

ceived, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the

party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority

to operate this device.

The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote control

is powered by a miniature 12V battery, type GP23A, that will last

approximately one year under normal use. When the battery weakens,

operating range will be reduced and the LED on the remote will dim.

Your warranty card must be returned and the bar code serial num-

ber must not be removed. If the warranty card 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 au-

thorized dealer. Make sure you receive the warranty card from

your dealer.

Transmitter Functions

Your vehicle keyless entry system is programmable, making it pos-

sible to assign any transmitter button to any specific receiver func-

tion. The transmitter initially comes programmed with Standard

Configuration, but may also be customized by an authorized deal-

er. The buttons in all of the instructions in this manual correspond

to a Standard Configuration transmitter.

. Pressing for one second will alternately arm/lock or dis-

arm/unlock. Panic Mode is activated by pressing for 1.5 seconds.

Button

Using Your System

Pressing for one second will arm the system and lock the

doors. The red LED will begin to flash once per second. The

Failsafe® Starter Kill will prevent the vehicle’s starter from crank-

ing if it has been installed. If connected, the vehicle's horn will

honk and the parking lights will flash once to confirm arming of

the system. If the ignition is turned on while the system is armed

the horn will honk and the parking lights will flash (if connected).

NOTE: You must use your remote transmitter to lock the vehicle in order

for the system to be armed. Manually locking the vehicle does not arm

the system; it will only lock the doors. If you have not used the remote

transmitter to lock the vehicle doors (i.e. the vehicle has been locked using

the lock/unlock switch) the transmitter cannot be used to unlock the doors.

The system also can be programmed to arm the starter kill auto-

matically (called passive mode). If the system is programmed for

passive mode, it will automatically activate the starter kill 30 sec-

onds after the ignition is turned off. Passive mode is indicated by

rapid flashing of the LED after the ignition is turned off.

NOTE: For passive mode to be effective, the Failsafe® Starter Kill relay

must be installed.

If passive mode is programmed on, it is also possible to program

the system to lock the doors automatically. This is called passive

locking. If passive locking is turned on, care must be taken to pre-

vent the keys from being locked in the vehicle.
