Introduction

Your Viper PowerSports VPS450 GPS system secures your vehicle

with built-in starter disable feature and GPS location. It prevents

the vehicle from being started, or sends you alerts if your vehicle is

stolen or moved without permission.

In order to optimize the battery life of your powersports vehicle,

the VPS450 is kept in sleep mode at all times unless woken up by

speciﬁc activity:

Device Status Description

Ignition ON Stays awake as long as the ignition is ON.

Vehicle Movements

Stays awake as long as there is movement, unless the

water mode is ON.

Check IN

The device will wake up and report once every 25

hours or once every 5 hours if the water mode is ON.

Alerts

The device wakes up with any related alerts sets, un-

less the water mode is ON. (see “Alert” on page 8

for features available).

Override

Input from the local override switch will wake up the

device for a short period of time.

Notes: Locate requests, starter disable commands and alert pro-

gramming changes can only be sent when the device is awake.

Using the local override switch

Turn the ignition ON, wait 10-15 seconds to make sure the system

is awake, then press the override switch and crank the starter. The

starter disable condition will stay active until an enable command

is sent from the mobile app.

3

Important: The VPS450 can take 45-60 seconds to connect to

the cellular network after it wakes up and will not respond to

commands until connected.

To ensure that you can start your vehicle quickly and easily in

remote areas where cellular coverage may be poor, we rec-

ommend that your authorized Viper Powersports dealer always

installs the local override switch. This allows you to securely start

the vehicle even if the device is out of contact with the network.

Downloading the Mobile Application.

Viper Powersports vehicles are supported by the Viper SmartStart

app, putting control of all of your vehicles at your ﬁngertips.

control. If you want to change the selected vehicle, tap its name

and choose another vehicle from the horizontal list. The vehicle

starter can be disabled by pressing the button.* When the button

shows ON, the starter is disabled. When it shows OFF, the starter

is enabled. You can also schedule the starter enable command.

disable command or real-time starter enable command. If the

vehicle is asleep, you can send a scheduled start enable com-

mand, which will execute shortly after the next time the vehicle

wakes up.

Vehicle Settings

Tap the vehicle name in the header bar, then vehicle settings at

bottom of the page. You can enter your vehicle information in the

spaces provided.

Personalize your app by tapping the vehicle image link to add

a picture of your vehicle. (Note: if you did not allow the app to

access your camera or photos when you installed it, you will need

to update those settings before using this feature).

11

Select Icon: This feature allows you to choose which type of icon

represents your vehicle on the map for GPS location. You can se-

lect an icon showing a classic car, side-by-side, ATV, motorcycle,

snowmobile, recreational vehicle, boat, personal watercraft, etc.

Water Mode: Select Water Mode to prevent the system from wak-

ing up in boats or watercraft that are left in the water. This prevents

excess battery consumption due to rocking motion or bumping

against piers or buoys etc. With this mode active, the system will

only wake up if it detects ignition ON.

To limit the distance the boat could be moved without being locat-

ed, in Water Mode the system will automatically log its location

with the server every 5 hours instead of the usual 25 hour interval.

The additional location checks will cause a slight increase in over-

all battery consumption.

12

Notiﬁcations: Push notiﬁcations are set up automatically as long

as you opted in during initial launch of the app, and have not

changed the phone’s notiﬁcation settings for the Viper SmartStart

app.

You can also opt to receive SMS and/or email notiﬁcations by

adding your phone number and carrier information and email ad-

dress on the notiﬁcations page and saving those changes. SMS

and email alerts are set OFF by default.

Water/Dust Resistance

Viper Powersports products are intended for use in wet and dusty

environments. The main module is rated IP66 for protection against high

pressure water jets and dust ingress. None of the components are rated for

complete submergence, which may cause them to fail.
