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.
rapid resume logic This Directed system will store its current state to non-volatile memory. If power is lost and then reconnected the system will recall the stored state from memory. This means if the unit is in Valet Mode and the battery is disconnected for any reason, such as servicing the car, when the battery is reconnected the unit will still be in Valet Mode. This applies to all states of the system including arm, disarm, and Valet Mode.
Mode, the in-vehicle status LED will come back on the next time the ignition is turned on and then back off. 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. The following is a list of the programmable options, with the factory settings in Bold. ➤ Active arming (2-way remote only) or passive arming (automatic arming 30 seconds after the last door has been closed).
➤ Panic mode enabled/disabled when the ignition is turned on. (Some states have laws against sirens sounding in moving cars.) ➤ Forced passive arming on or off. If your security system is programmed for passive arming and the forced passive arming feature has been programmed on, the system will passively arm after one hour, even if a protected entry has been left open. Forced passive arming ensures that the system will be armed if a door has accidentally been left ajar when leaving the vehicle.
(one-half its normal armed rate) to indicate the AED arming cycle. Thirty seconds later, the starter will be disabled.
