Standard Remote Configuration

This system needs no specific maintenance beyond remote

control battery replacement. The remote is powered by a 1.5V

AAA battery.

The Battery Level indicator has four level indicators that serve as

a visual indication of battery charge. When the battery reaches a

low charge level that requires replacement, the remote control

will generate a single notification chirp, and the Battery Level

indicator will flash continuously.

Battery Replacement

Gently pull the end of the battery door away from the top of the

remote control then slide the door up to expose the battery and

remove the expired battery. Place the new battery into the remote

control observing the correct polarity. When power is returned

the remote control will light all icons in the LCD and generate all

beeper tones once.

The remote control buttons are used to send commands to the

system. The descriptions below reflect the standard configuration

for this system. The buttons can be custom configured for the

user’s specific needs by the installer.

The remote start system operates at 434 MHz and incorporates

Directed’s proprietary XHF2 out-board Responder Technology

remote control. The high frequency combined with Binary Data

communication achieves superior range with two-way commu-

nication.

Remote Operation and Programming

note: The icons which are ‘not applicable’ are only used

when incorporated with a ESP2 Directed Security/Remote

Start system.

A page is the signal the 542 control module sends to the remote

control as confirmation of receipt of a command.

When the remote control receives a page it will generate a page

notification to the user (notifications are audible beeps or remote

vibration) and the LCD Icons will display the current system

status.

When a command (lock/unlock, remote start, or auxiliary

channel) from the remote control is sent and received, the system

will send a command page back to confirm receipt.

The remote control will leave a zone icon illuminated when it

has received a triggered response and will wait for you to recog-

nize the violation. Press any button on the remote control, the

LCD information and Alarm Page alerts will be cleared.

note: The remote control buttons will not send a com-

mand to the system until the alarm page is cleared.

Page Recognition Mode

note: When the system is in Valet mode, the remote con-

trol will show the lock (5) and unlock (6) icons, but will

not generate a command page.

Using Your System

The following safety warnings must be observed at all times:

■ Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this

product must only be performed by an authorized Directed

Electronics dealer.

Warning! Safety First

■ When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via

a command signal from the remote control transmitter.

Therefore, never operate the system in an enclosed area or

partially enclosed area without ventilation (such as a

garage). When parking in an enclosed or partially enclosed

area or when having the vehicle serviced, the remote start

system must be disabled using the installed toggle switch. It

is the user's sole responsibility to properly handle and keep

out of reach from children all remote control transmitters to

assure that the system does not unintentionally remote start

the vehicle. THE USER MUST INSTALL A CARBON MONOXIDE

DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING AREA ADJACENT TO

THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEADING FROM ADJACENT LIV-

ING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PARTIALLY ENCLOSED

VEHICLE STORAGE AREA MUST AT ALL TIMES REMAIN

CLOSED. These precautions are the sole responsibility of the

user.

■ Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode

of operation may result in property damage, personal injury,

or death. (1) Never remotely start the vehicle with the vehi-

cle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the

keys in the ignition. The user must also have the neutral

safety feature of the vehicle periodically checked, wherein

the vehicle must not remotely start while the car is in gear.

This testing should be performed by an authorized Directed

Electronics dealer in accordance with the Safety Check out-

lined in the product installation guide. If the vehicle starts

in gear, cease remote start operation immediately and con-

sult with the authorized Directed Electronics dealer to fix the

problem.

■ After the remote start module has been installed, contact

your authorized dealer to have him or her test the remote

start module by performing the Safety Check outlined in the

product installation guide. If the vehicle starts when per-

forming the Neutral Safety Shutdown Circuit test, the remote

start unit has not been properly installed. The remote start

module must be removed or the installer must properly rein-

stall the remote start system so that the vehicle does not

start in gear. All installations must be performed by an

authorized Directed Electronics dealer. OPERATION OF THE

REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN GEAR IS

CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF OPERATION. OPER-

ATING THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER THESE CONDI-

TIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL
