Spread Spectrum Technology This groundbreaking technology uses a transmitted signal that is spread over a wide frequency band and the transmitter abruptly changes (or hops) the frequency in accordance with a pseudo random sequence. With this revolutionary technology, the FCC has allowed Firstech, Inc. to use 28X more power than any of the transmitters currently marketed in the US and in most case 56X the power. We are using 560K uV/m in contrast to most transmitters’power of 5 K to 20K uV/m.
Safety Information Please take these safety precautions under the following conditions: 1. Servicing the vehicle When servicing (i.e. changing the oil, washing your car) your automobile, the CompuStar system should be in Valet Mode. There is a safety shutdown switch under the hood that deactivates the remote starter function if the hood is open.

?? Unauthorized trunk door opening will activate the car siren for 30 to 60 seconds and the parking lights will flash for 60 seconds. The remote-pager will beep and the trunk door icon will appear in the CompuGLO LCD. Press Button I for a ½ second to turn off the car siren and flashing lights. Repeat this step (press Button I for a ½ second) again to disarm alarm mode. In alarm mode, the starter kill function (this maybe an optional feature provided by your installer) is activated.
Reservation Mode (manual transmission only) In order to auto-start your manual transmission car, you must first set the CompuStar system to Reservation Mode before leaving your vehicle. The purpose of Reservation Mode is to leave the transmission gear in the neutral position when you leave your vehicle. Reservation mode is intended for use in MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS ONLY and NOT FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS.
Valet Mode Valet Mode is intended to deactivate most of the features of your CompuStar 2WSSR system especially the security alerts/monitoring and remote starting. The only feature operating in valet mode is the keyless entry function and optional auxiliary functions. This mode allows a valet to operate your car with your authorization without him or her triggering all the security features or remote-starting your vehicle. Also, Valet Mode is very useful when washing your vehicle or having it serviced.
OPTIONAL INSTALLATION FEATURES The CompuStar 2WSSR remote-pager has additional features and expansion possibilities that require additional parts and labor. RPS (Remote Paging System) The RPS is a feature that allows an individual to page the owner of a vehicle by simply tapping on the front windshield of the car. RPS is automatically turned on upon activating alarm mode (pressing Button I for a ½ second) on the CompuStar 2WSSR.
Can I buy the CompuStar through the Internet? All Internet sales of CompuStar are prohibited and all applicable warranties and registration will be voided and no technical support will be offered. Are the 2W Series, 2000 Series and SST Series compatible with each other? Unfortunately, the three systems are not compatible with one another due to the advances in the technology and use of additional features.
Most likely, you did not push Button II for the required 2 seconds. Pushing Button II for only a ½ second engages the optional auxiliary function instead of autostart. For manual transmission cars, the vehicle must be in reservation mode before you can auto-start your car remotely. If your remote-pager door icon flashes and beeps three times along with your car’s parking light flashing three times when you try to auto-start your manual-transmission car, reservation mode has not been set.
