USER TIPS AND NOTES
The Remote Car Starter must be “enabled” each time the driver has finished driving and taken out
the key in order for the unit to start the vehicle remotely.
After the key has been removed, you must turn
OFF the control switch and then turn it back ON again while no key is in the ignition. This “control
switch” or “set switch” prevents unauthorized starting of the car by someone unfamiliar with the system
who may be using the vehicle. If you forget to set the switch, it may also be activated by pushing the
transmitter and holding the button down for ten seconds. To eliminate the need for this, see Option #7.
The Ready Remote Car Starter will turn the car off if the driver does not insert and turn the key within 10
or 15 minutes. After the Ready Remote Car Starter has started your car, simply put in the key and turn
it to the “run” or “on” ignition position (not the crank position) to drive away.
The Ready Remote Car Starter has numerous safety and security features that make it difficult to steal
your car without the key being in the ignition. Putting your car in gear, tapping the brake pedal or
opening the hood will turn the unit off unless your key is in the ignition and turned to the “run” or “on”
position.

Button This is used to operate additional vehicles with Ready Re-
mote Car Starters as follows:
Push once: To operate vehicle #2 - then any of the 4 but-
tons while LED flashes red and green
Push again: For vehicle #3 - then any of the 4 buttons while
LED flashes red
Push again: For vehicle #4 - then any of the 4 buttons while

Do not push for your ‘main’ vehicle
The transmitter is powered by a long life lithium battery (style #2032). The transmitter and the remote
starter receiver module are FCC and DOC approved.
Alarm Disarm without transmitter:
If the doors are locked and the alarm is set and you’ve lost your
transmitter, you can disable the alarm.
Here is how: Enter the vehicle (alarm will sound) and insert
the key and turn it to the ‘run’ position (the position where the dash lights come on). Turn the On/Off
switch off and on 4 times in a row to disable the alarm.
Valet Mode:
Turning the Control switch off puts you in Valet Mode. In Valet Mode the Remote Car
Starter and the alarm will not function. This lets you turn off the car starter when having the vehicle
serviced. The only functions that work in Valet Mode are the keyless entry, lights and panic. The red
LED light will flash twice every few seconds when in Valet Mode.
