• Flashing LED
ON
: the L.E.D. will flash at all times (either under active arming or under passive
arming) to indicate that the Starter Kill is active.
• Active Arming: the LED will flash normally.
• Passive Arming: the LED will flash at a faster rate during the countdown preceding the
activation of the Starter Kill. Once the Remote Car Starter
is armed, the LED will flash at a slower rate.
• In Valet Mode: the LED will remain lit without flashing.
• Flashing LED
OFF
: the LED will not flash even when the Remote Car Starter is armed (either
under active or passive arming). Nevertheless, if the Remote Car Starter enters Valet Mode, the
LED will still remain lit without flashing as long as the ignition is off.
Horn Chirp Timing
The pulse duration can be configured by your installer (from 5 ms to 200 ms).
Multi-car Operation
This option allows the owner of two vehicles, both equipped with the same Remote Car Starter
model, to control both systems with a single remote control. To control the second vehicle,
simultaneously press the
TRUNK
button and the button of the function you wish to use.
Note: Your remote control must be configured for second car operation by the installer.

Troubleshooting Poor Transmitting Range
Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are:
• The condition of the battery in the transmitter.
• The operating environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency noise, airports, cellular
phone towers…)
• Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the metal in the car.
• The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well; vans in general have an especially poor
range.
• The shape of the roof and A-pillars brings about considerable radio-frequency deflection (in
this case the signal from the remote control). As a result, the direction in which the vehicle is
facing in relation to the remote control can affect the range. Straight on – standing in front of
the vehicle – generally gives you the greatest range; the second best performance is from the
back. Using the remote control from either side of the vehicle will usually give the lowest
range.
• The range will be significantly lower in a crowded parking lot than in open space.
• Always hold the transmitter high, approximately at shoulder height. Holding the transmitter
against your chin will also increase your range: your head acts as an antenna.
• The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or
factory alarm.
