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.

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 vehicle’s 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.
