When servicing or loaning your vehicle to others, the system should be placed in Valet Mode. Valet Mode prevents the system from remote starting and disables all alarm functions. IMPORTANT: While in Valet mode the remote will still control power lock and unlock systems. The parking lights will not flash. The system can be put into valet one of three ways:
1. Turn the vehicles key to the ignition on position and tap buttons (I + III) simultaneously for 0.5 second. The parking lights will flash once and the LCD will display Zs above the vehicle image to confirm the system is in valet mode. Repeat this process to take the system out of valet mode. The parking lights will flash twice and Zs will disappear to confirm the system is out of valet mode. 2. If you do not have your remote control, you can put the system into valet by turning the ignition key on and then off five times within 7 seconds. The parking lights will flash once to confirm the system is in valet mode. Shortly after the first flash, the parking lights will flash twice. A remote control is required to take the system out of valet mode. 3. If your system is set up for a secure valet option (optional), you will not be able to put the system into valet until the proper code has been entered to the secure valet switch. The secure valet switch is the small button with bright blue LED on the front and if installed is the only way to override the alarm and/or remote start. Until programmed, the default code is (3, 3).

The only regular maintenance this system requires is remote control battery replacement. No programming is required when replacing the battery. Two Way Remotes:
First, release the battery cover lock located on the back of the remote. Once the lock is released, gently slide the battery cover off to expose the battery. With the exception of the 2WSSR-PRO (Uses 1 AA battery) all Firstech 2 Way remotes require one AAA battery. IMPORTANT: Be sure to observe correct polarity when installing the battery. One Way Remotes:
First, remove the small Phillips screw located on the back of the remote. Once the screw has been removed, gently pull the remote apart taking care to not damage the circuit board. 1 Way remote batteries differ among the models. Your battery size should be listed on the battery. Replacements can be purchased from your local Firstech dealer or an electronics store.

Lock/Arm - Unlock/Disarm This icon indicates whether the system is locked/armed or unlocked/disarmed. While armed, the system will monitor the doors, trunk, hood, shock sensor, and aux inputs. If any of these inputs are triggered while the system is armed, the alarm will be triggered. Trunk Release This icon will be displayed when the trunk release function has been activated. By default, the system will be disarmed and the doors will unlock before the trunk is released. Signal Strength This icon is displayed if the last communication to the vehicle was successful. Valet Mode This icon will be displayed while you are in Valet mode. While in valet mode, the system will not perform any functions other than lock and unlock. The alarm will not arm or disarm while locking or unlocking. If any other function is attempted, Sleep will be displayed. The system will not monitor the alarm triggers while in Valet mode. Battery Indicator This icon displays the remaining battery life left in 25% increments. Car Call This icon will be displayed while someone is attempting to contact you using the RPS sensor. To trigger the RPS sensor, you must knock on the windshield where the sensor is located. Something that creates a higher pitch, like a key, is better suited to trigger the RPS. Engine Running This icon will be displayed while the vehicle is running after it has been remote started. Start Availability This icon will be displayed when the vehicle is ready to be remote-started. If this icon is not displayed, you will not be able to remote-start the vehicle.

Siren This icon will be displayed if the siren is turned on. Turning the siren off only applies to the chirps when arming, disarming, or remote-starting. The siren will still sound if the alarm is triggered. Hood This icon will be displayed if the hood is opened while the system is armed. The remote will beep rapidly while displaying this icon. This means that the alarm was triggered. If this icon appears while trying to remote-start the vehicle, it means that the vehicle will not start because the hood is open. 13 By Firstech, LLC By Firstech, LLC 12 Impact This icon will be displayed if an impact to the vehicle is detected while the system is armed. The remote will beep rapidly while displaying this icon if the impact is hard; this means that the alarm was triggered. If it beeps slowly while displaying this icon, that means that the impact was soft and that the alarm simply gave four warning chirps. Door This icon will be displayed if the door is opened while the system is armed. The remote will beep rapidly while displaying this icon. This means that the alarm was triggered. If this icon appears while trying to remote-start the vehicle, it means that the vehicle will not start because the door is open. Trunk This icon will be displayed if the trunk is opened while the system is armed. The remote will beep rapidly while displaying this icon. This means that the alarm was triggered. If this icon appears while trying to remote-start the vehicle, it means that the vehicle will not start because the trunk is open. Car Call This icon will be displayed while someone is attempting to contact you using the RPS sensor. To trigger the RPS sensor, you must knock on the windshield where the sensor is located. Something that creates a higher pitch, like a key, is better suited to trigger the RPS.

By Firstech, LLC 14 15 By Firstech, LLC General System Functions The remote transmitter functions have been predetermined and programmed from the factory. The four button configuration allows for many functions to be performed through a series of tapping, holding and / or multiple presses of buttons. Sending Commands When in range, and a command has been sent, the remote pager backlight will illuminate, the remote will beep and the appropriate icon will be displayed. For example, to send a remote start command from the pager, hold down button (II) for 2.5 seconds. The backlight will illuminate and the remote will beep once to confirm the command has been sent and that the remote is in range. Once the vehicle has successfully remote started, the remote will receive a command indicating the vehicle is running. Receiving Commands The remote pager will receive commands indicating the status of the vehicle, confirmation of sending commands and alarm notifications. For example, after sending the lock command, the pager will be updated with the lock icon to confirm the vehicle has been successfully locked/armed. To see if your pager is in range, tap button (IV) for half second - if the pager backlight illuminates and beeps, the pager is in range.
Tap button (I) for 0.5 seconds to lock/arm and unlock/disarm. If your vehicle is locked, tap button (I) to unlock; if your vehicle is unlocked, tap button (I) to lock. If equipped this will also activate your starter kill and anti grind feature. You will not be able to start your vehicle with the key until unlock/disarm. IMPORTANT: If the alarm has been triggered (Siren is going off), you must wait until the remote pager has been paged before disarming the alarm - the first button tap will shut off the alarm and the second will unlock/disarm the system. General System Functions
The system can be configured to passively lock and arm the vehicle. Put the system in passive by tapping buttons (II+III) simultaneously for 0.5 seconds. The remote will beep once and the passive icon will illuminate to indicate the system is in passive lock and arming mode. While in passive mode, the system will lock and arm the alarm 30 seconds after the last door is closed. As an indicator that the vehicle is going to passively lock and arm, the remote and siren will chirp once and the parking lights will flash once at both 10 and 20 seconds prior to passively locking and arming. If you want the system to passively arm and not passively lock, ask your local Firstech dealer to turn Option 1-8 to setting II.
Press button (II) for 2.5 seconds to remote start an automatic transmission vehicle. If you are in range and if the vehicle is ready to remote start, the remote will beep once and the CompuGLO backlight will light up to indicate that the remote start command has been successfully transmitted. If you are in range and the remote beeps three times, there is a remote start error. Refer to the remote start error diagnostic on the last page of this manual for details. Upon receiving confirmation that your vehicle is running, the LCD will flash the exhaust icon and the clock icon will begin to show the amount of run-time remaining. The remote start run-time can be programmed for 3, 15, 25 or 45 minutes - ask your local CompuStar dealer to adjust Option 2-7 if you would like a run-time other than 15 minutes (default). IMPORTANT : Your vehicles key must be inserted into the ignition and turned to the on position prior to driving your vehicle. If the foot brake is depressed prior to the key being in the on position, the vehicle will shut off. By Firstech, LLC 16 17 By Firstech, LLC
