INDUSTRY CANADA USER NOTICE:

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause

interference; and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device.

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain

should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not

more than that required for successful communication.

FCC USER NOTICE:

The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by

unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Installation Points to Remember

♦

On vehicles with a manual

transmission,

always

ensure that all

doors will get the unit out of ready

mode. Switch the wire used so that it is

triggered by all Doors.

♦

Make sure that the Parking brake

and Door switch contacts work

properly.

♦

When working on a vehicle, always

leave a window open.

♦

Never

leave the keys in the car.

Leave them on a workbench with a
window rolled down.

♦

if possible, remove courtesy light

fuse to prevent battery drain.

♦

The Programming Assistance Button

(a.k.a. PAB)

The

PAB

is mounted on the side of the

unit. This push button mimics the

hood-pin switch in order to avoid
having to get out of the vehicle and
