limited lifetime consumer warranty
Directed Electronics, Inc. ("Directed®") promises to the original purchaser to repair or replace with a comparable reconditioned model any Directed® unit (hereafter the "unit"), excluding without limitation the siren, the remote transmitters, the associated sensors and accessories, which proves to be defective in workmanship or material under reasonable use during the lifetime of the vehicle provided the following conditions are met: the unit was professionally installed and serviced by an authorized Directed® dealer; the unit will be professionally reinstalled in the vehicle in which it was originally installed by an authorized Directed® dealer; and the unit is returned to Directed®, shipping prepaid with a legible copy of the bill of sale or other dated proof of purchase bearing the following information: consumer's name, telephone number and address; the authorized dealers name, telephone number and address; complete product description, including accessories; the year, make and model of the vehicle; vehicle license number and vehicle identification number. All components other than the unit, including without limitation the siren, the remote transmitters and the associated sensors and accessories, carry a one-year warranty from the date of purchase of the same. This warranty is non-transferable and is automatically void if: the original purchaser has not completed the warranty card and mailed it within ten (10) days of the date of purchase to the address listed on the card; the unit's date code or serial number is defaced, missing or altered; the unit has been modified or used in a manner contrary to its intended purpose; the unit has been damaged by accident, unreasonable use, neglect, improper service, installation or other causes not arising out of defects in materials or construction. [. . . ] If you wish to clear the FACT memory, turn the ignition key on.
FACT is programmable. See the Programming Options section of this guide.
diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your security system is constantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors that are connected to it. It detects any faulty switches and sensors and

prevents them from disabling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence.
arming diagnostics
If the system is armed while an input is active (door open, sensor triggering, etc. ) the unit will chirp once when arming and then one more time a few seconds later. This is called Bypass Notification.
note: Bypass Notification will not occur when using Remote Controlled Chirp Muting or if chirps have been programmed OFF.
The security system will ignore the input that was active when the system was armed, until the input goes away. For example, if your vehicle has interior light exit delay, and you arm the system before the interior light goes out, you may hear Bypass Notification chirps. Once the light shuts off, however, the doors are monitored normally.
disarming diagnostics
Extra disarm chirps are the Tamper Alert. If four chirps are heard when disarming, the system was triggered in your absence. If five chirps are heard, a zone was triggered so many times that False Alarm Control Technology (FACT) has bypassed that zone. In either case, the status LED will indicate which zone was involved

(see Table of Zones section). The system will retain this information in its memory, and continue to chirp four or five times each time it is disarmed, until the next time the ignition key is turned on.
table of zones
The zone number is the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify a specific input. The standard input assignments are listed below, along with spaces to write in any optional sensors or switches you have had installed.
Zone - Number of LED Flashes
1 2 3 4 5
Description
Instant trigger - often used for hood/trunk pinswitches
Dealer-Installed Options
Instant trigger - a heavier impact detected by the shock sensor Door switch trigger Instant trigger - for optional sensors Ignition trigger
If the Warning Zone response is triggered, the LED will not report it.
note: Your system stores the last two triggered zones in memory. If your system has been triggered but the LED has been reset by turning on the ignition, your dealer can still recall the last two zones that were triggered. Contact your dealer for details.

anti-code grabbing (ACG) c
This unit features Anti-Code Grabbing (ACG) with Random Code Encryption. This means the receiver and transmitters each use a mathematical formula called an algorithm to change their code each time the transmitter is used. This technology has been developed to increase the security of the unit. This helps to keep the transmitter "in sync" with the control unit even if you use the remote control out of range of the vehicle. However, if a transmitter button has been pressed many times out of range of the vehicle, or the battery has been removed, it may get out of sync with the control unit and fail to operate the system. To re-sync the remote control simply press of the transmitter several times within range of the vehicle. The alarm will automatically re-sync and respond to the transmitters normally.
high frequency
Your system transmits and receives at 433 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.

owner recognition
Owner Recognition is a feature available exclusively from Directed®. [. . . ] It is used to override the alarm when a transmitter is lost or damaged, or to enter or exit Valet mode.
Warning Zone Response: Lighter impacts to the vehicle will
generate the Warning Zone response. It consists of several seconds of siren chirps and parking light flashes.
Zone: A zone is a separate input that the alarm can recognize as
unique. Two or more inputs often share the same zone.
