Important Information
Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art vehicle
security system. This system has been designed to provide years of
trouble-free operation. By carefully reading this guide prior to
using your system, you will maximize the use of this product and
its features.
System Maintenance
Your vehicle security system has no specific maintenance requirements. The remote is powered by a lightweight 3-volt lithium
battery that will last approximately one year under normal use.
When the battery begins to weaken, the LED on the remote will dim
and you will notice reduced operating range when using the
2004 Directed Electronics, Inc.
Your warranty card must be returned and the barcode serial number must not be removed. If the warranty card is not returned, no
warranty will be honored on your unit. It is also necessary to keep
your proof of purchase, which reflects that the product was
installed by an authorized dealer. Make sure you receive the warranty card from your dealer.
FCC/ID Notice
R e m o t e Functions
This system is programmable, making it possible to assign any
remote button to any specific receiver function. The remote initially comes programmed with Standard Configuration, but may also be
customized by an authorized dealer. The buttons in all of the instructions in this manual correspond to a Standard Configuration remote.

Arming
When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound (chirp)

LED system status indicator will flash once per second to indicate
that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a
second chirp after arming and notice that the LED system status
indicator is flashing in a grouped pattern, this signals Bypass
Notification. Bypass Notification is described in detail in the
Diagnostics section of this manual.
Your security system can also be programmed for Passive Arming.
With Passive Arming, the system automatically arms itself 30 sec6
onds after the ignition has been turned off and the last door has
been closed. During the 30-second Passive Arming countdown, the
LED system status indicator will flash twice as fast as it does when
the system is armed. If the system is programmed for Passive
Arming, care must be taken to prevent the keys from being locked
in the vehicle.
NOTE: If any protected entry point, such as a door or switch-protected
trunk or hood, is open, Passive Arming will not engage. Additionally, each
time a sensor is triggered during the Passive Arming countdown, the
countdown starts over.
Disarming
Press
If the power locks are controlled by the system, the doors will also
unlock. Disarming is confirmed when the parking lights flash twice

and the
siren emits two chirps. The LED system status indicator will
also stop flashing. The siren chirping either four or five times when
disarming indicates Tamper Alert, which is described in the
Diagnostics section of this guide.

Valet Mode
Valet Mode prevents your security system from arming and triggering either automatically or with the remote. In Valet Mode, the
system will not arm, but all convenience functions (door locks,
trunk release, etc.) remain operational. This feature is useful when
washing or servicing your vehicle. You can access Valet Mode
either manually or from the remote.
To enter or exit Valet Mode with the Valet switch:

prets this pattern of triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger, the NPC ignores, or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along
with any other sensors or switches sharing the same zone) for 60
minutes. If the bypassed sensor is triggered again while it is
already being bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start
over. This ensures that a sensor that is continually being triggered
will remain bypassed.
The vehicle doors are protected differently by NPC. If your security system is triggered by an open door for three, full 30-second
cycles (one and one half minutes), the system will bypass the
doors until the trigger ceases.
NOTE: Arming and disarming the system does not reset the NPC. The only
ways to reset a bypassed zone are for that zone not to be triggered for
60 minutes or to turn the ignition key on. When testing your system, it
is important to remember that NPC can cause zones to be bypassed and
appear to not work. If five chirps are heard when disarming the system,
NPC has been engaged. To clear the NPC memory, simply turn the ignition key on.
Diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your system has the ability to
constantly monitor all of the switches and sensors connected to it.
It can detect any faulty switches or sensors and prevent them from
disabling the entire system. It can also record and report any triggers that occur when you are away from your vehicle.
11
Arming Diagnostics
Disarming Diagnostics
Your system has a Tamper Alert feature that notifies you of system
triggers that occur while you are away from your vehicle. If you
hear four chirps when you disarm, this indicates that the system
was triggered in your absence. If you hear five chirps when you
disarm, this indicates that a specific zone was triggered so many
times that the NPC has bypassed that zone. In both cases, the
pattern of the flashing LED system status indicator indicates which
zone was triggered (see Table of Zones). The LED does not, however, report when warn-away responses have activated; it only
reports triggered sequences. The system retains this information in
12
its memory and will continue to chirp four or five times each time
the system is disarmed, until the next time the ignition is turned on.

Stealth Coding
Technology
The receiver and remote use mathematical formulas called algorithms to change their codes each time the remote is used. This
Stealth Coding Technology has been developed to increase the
security of the unit. By following this set code sequence, the
receiver and remote stay synchronized, even if the remote is used
out of range of the vehicle. If, however, the remote is pressed many
times out of range, or the battery is removed, the remote may get
temporarily out of sync and fail to operate the system. To resynchronize the remote, simply press
High Frequency
Your system transmits and receives at 434 MHz. This provides a
cleaner spectrum with less interference and a more stable signal.
Enjoy a phenomenal increase in range, even in areas with high
radio interference.
14
Programming Options
Programming options control your system's normal, operational
set-up. Most options do not require additional parts, but some may
require installation labor.
This system's programming options are listed below, with the factory default settings in bold:
Active arming (only with the remote) or passive arming (automatic arming 30 seconds after the last vehicle door is closed).
Ignition controlled door lock feature, on or off. With this feature on, the doors will lock three seconds after the ignition
key is turned on, and unlock when the ignition is turned off.
The system also prevents the doors from locking when the
ignition is turned on while any vehicle door is open.

Installation Options
Installation options may require additional parts or labor. Please
consult your dealer.
Interior Light Illumination: The interior domelight can be configured to illuminate for 30 seconds after the alarm is disarmed. If
the system is rearmed during that 30-second period, the interior
light illumination will terminate until the alarm is disarmed again.
This option may require a relay to be added to some vehicles.
17
Glossary of Terms
Control Module: The "brain" of your security system. Usually hidden underneath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor that monitors your vehicle and controls all of the security systems functions.
Fault-Proof Starter Interrupt: Located on-board the control module,
this is an automatic switch controlled by the security system that
prevents the starter from cranking whenever the system is armed.
The vehicle is never prevented from cranking when the system is
disarmed, in Valet Mode, or if the starter interrupt fails.
Impact Sensor: A dual-stage shock sensor, located on-board the
control module, that detects impacts to the vehicle.
Input: Any physical connection to the security system. An input
can be provided through a sensor, pinswitch or by existing systems
in the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.
LED: A red light mounted inside the vehicle, at a location determined by the installer. The LED indicates the status of your system
and also reports triggers and faults in the system or sensors.
Siren: A noise generating device, usually installed in the engine
compartment of the vehicle. The siren generates the chirps and
tones heard when the system is triggered.
Remote: A hand-held, transmitter control that operates the various
functions of the security system.
