considered a nuisance. If your installer is programming the

system with the DEI

Bitwriter or a personal computer and the

TechSoft

Programmer, the full triggered response can be pro-

grammed for any duration ranging from 1 to 180 seconds.

turned off, the LED will flash slowly (one-half its normal

armed rate) to indicate the AED arming cycle. Thirty seconds

later, the starter will be disabled. To start the car, it will be
