General Features
The remote transmitter functions are predetermined and programmed from the
factory. The one-button configuration allows for many functions to be
performed through a series of tapping and/or holding buttons.
Sending Commands
When in range and a command has been sent, the remote will receive a page back
and LED confirmation. For example, to send a remote start command from the 2
Way remote, hold down the button for 3 seconds. The remote will beep once to
confirm the command has been sent and that the remote is in range. Once the
vehicle has successfully remote started, the remote will receive a
confirmation indicating the vehicle is running.
Receiving Commands
The remote pager will receive confirmation of sent commands and remote start
notifications. For example, after sending the lock command, the 2 Way remote
will chirp and LED’s flash, confirming that the vehicle has been successfully
locked/armed.
IMPORTANT: 2 Way SF remotes do not receive page back alerts if an alarm
is triggered only while your vehicle is remotely started.
Active Lock/Arm and Unlock/Disarm
Tap for a half-second to lock/arm. The LED will flash on your remote. If your
vehicle is locked, double tap to unlock; if your vehicle is unlocked, tap to
lock.
IMPORTANT: If the alarm has been triggered (Horn is going off), you must
wait up to 5 seconds before disarming the alarm — the first tap will shut off
the alarm and the second will unlock/disarm the system.
IMPORTANT: If your alarm has been triggered (Siren is sounding, parking
lights flashing, and/or horn honking), you must wait until your 2 Way LCD
remote has been paged before disarming. The first unlock button tap will shut
off the alarm. The second will unlock/disarm the system.
Automatic Transmission Remote Start Function
Hold the button for 3 seconds to remote start an automatic transmission
vehicle. If you are in range and the vehicle is ready to start, the remote
will beep once and the backlight will light up indicating that the remote
start command has been successfully transmitted.
If you are in range and the remote beeps three times, there is a remote start
error. Refer to the “remote start error diagnostic” on the last page of this
manual for details.
Upon remote start confirmation, the LEDs will begin flashing to show the
amount of run time remaining. The remote start run time can be programmed for
3, 15, 25, or 45 minutes —ask your local authorized dealer to adjust your
remote start run time.
IMPORTANT: Your vehicle’s key must be inserted into the ignition and
turned to the “on” position prior to driving your vehicle. If the foot brake
is pressed prior to turning the key to the “on” position, the vehicle will
shut off.
Manual Transmission Remote Start Function (Reservation Mode)
In order to remote start a manual transmission vehicle, the system must first
be set in Reservation Mode.
Reservation Mode must be set each and every time you want to remote start a
manual transmission vehicle. The purpose of Reservation Mode is to leave the
transmission in neutral before exiting the vehicle.
IMPORTANT:
- The FT-DAS must be installed and working properly.
- The transmission must be left in a neutral position.
- The vehicle’s windows must be rolled up.
- The vehicle’s door pins must be in working order.
- Do not install this remote start on a manual transmission vehicle that has a convertible or removable top.
- Do not set reservation mode or remote start with people in the vehicle.
Activating Reservation Mode
STEP 1: While the vehicle is running, place the transmission in neutral,
set the emergency/parking brake, and remove pressure from the foot brake.
STEP 2: Remove the key from the vehicle’s ignition. The vehicle’s engine
should remain running even after the key has been removed. If the vehicle does
not remain running, visit your local authorized Firstech dealer for service.
STEP 3 : Exit the vehicle and close the door. The vehicle’s doors will
lock/arm and then the engine will shut down. If the vehicle’s engine does not
shut off, your door trigger may not be functioning properly.
Discontinue use of the remote start feature and take your vehicle to a local
authorized Firstech dealer for service.
When the vehicle shuts off, your system is in reservation mode and is ready to
safely remote start.
IMPORTANT: By default, the system will lock/arm the vehicle upon setting
reservation mode. Take care to not lock your keys inside the vehicle.
Canceling Reservation Mode
The reservation mode will be canceled for the following reasons;
- The FT-DAS is not installed and/or configured correctly.
- You did not activate the parking brake prior to turning off the ignition.
- You pressed the foot brake after the key was removed from the ignition.
- You released the parking brake after the key was removed from the ignition.
- You entered valet mode, opened the vehicle’s door, hood, trunk, or set off the alarm.
Reservation Mode Settings
Reservation mode settings can be programmed by your authorized dealer.
Option 1: Locks doors before Reservation Mode is set.
Option 2: Hold the Key/Start button to initiate Reservation Mode.
Option 3: Reservation mode sets 10 seconds after the last door is closed,
as opposed to immediately.
This option will allow you to access the vehicle’s rear doors, trunk, or hatch
prior to the system setting reservation and passively locking/arming.
Option 4: Locks doors after Reservation Mode is set.
FT-DAS
STEP 1: Turn the ignition to the ‘on’ position.
STEP 2: 2 Way remotes-hold buttons 1 and 2 (Lock and Unlock) for 2.5
seconds. You will get two parking light flashes. 1 Way remotes-hold Lock and
Unlock for 2.5 seconds. You will get two parking light flashes.
STEP 3: To set the Warn Away Zone 1, tap button 1. (1 Way: Lock) After
you get one parking light flash, tap the vehicle. You will get siren chirps
1-most sensitive through 10-least sensitive. This sets the impact sensitivity
of Warn Away Zone 1. Setting Zone 1 will automatically set Zone 2. If you
would like to manually set Zone 2 proceed:
To set Instant Trigger Zone 2, tap button 2. (1 Way: Unlock) After you get two
parking light flashes, tap the vehicle.
You will get siren chirps 1-lowest through 10-highest. This sets the impact
sensitivity of Instant Trigger Zone 2.
STEP 4: Once you get two parking light flashes, you are ready to test
your DAS.
FT-Shock
Adjusting the shock sensor sensitivity is done at the actual sensor, which is
generally mounted somewhere under the vehicle’s dashboard. The higher the
number on the dial means greater sensitivity to impact. The recommended dial
setting for most vehicles is somewhere between 2 and 4. If you are testing
your sensor, please note that the shock sensor does not recognize impact for
30 seconds after the system has been armed.
Advanced Features
The following section reviews advanced system functions. Many of these
functions require multiple steps or additional programming by your local
authorized dealer.
RPS Touch and RPS (Remote Paging Sensor)
The RPS is an optional feature. The car call/RPS feature uses a small sensor
that is mounted on the inside of your windshield.
RPS Touch (Remote Paging Sensor)
The new RPS touch has multiple features including remote paging, 4-digit pin
unlock/disarm, and arm/lock. All features are operated with a simple touch of
the sensor.
Please have your installer program the RPS Touch controller settings.
RPS Touch and car call functions do not require programming, however, in order
to unlock/disarm your vehicle you must program a 4-digit passcode using the
instructions below:
STEP 1: Choose your RPS Touch 4-digit code. ‘0’ is not available.
STEP 2: Turn the ignition to the ‘ON’ position and leave the driver’s
door open.
STEP 3: Hold your finger over the ‘Red Circle’ icon for 2.5 seconds.
STEP 4: When the siren chirps and LEDs flash in a circular pattern, tap
on your first number. (Hold the number for 2.5 seconds to choose 6 through
10.) After choosing your first number you will get one siren chirp and LEDs
will flash in a circular pattern.
STEP 5: Repeat Step 4 until all four digits are set. You will get 1 siren
chirp and 1 parking light flash.
Repeat Steps 2 – 5 if you get 3 chirps and light flashes. Your RPS Touch is
now programmed.
Alarm rearm and lock
To rearm, hold your finger on the ‘Red Circle’ for 2.5 seconds.
Alarm disarm and unlock
To disarm, hold your finger over the ‘Red Circle’ for 2.5 seconds. Once the
LEDs start their circular pattern, enter your 4-digit code. (Refer to Step 4
above.) Two seconds after entering the 4th digit, your system will disarm.
2 Way LCD remote paging
On page 2 Way LCD remote just tap the ‘Red Circle’ twice.
Touch Panel Sensitivity
To change touch sensitivity open the driver’s door, and hold the button on the
back of the RPS Touch until the LEDs go out. Release the button and tap again.
The number of solid LED’s represent the sensitivity of touch, 1 being the
lowest, 5 the highest.
**RPS (Remote Paging Sensor) Unlock/Disarm
**
RPS and car call functions do not require programming, however, in order to
unlock/disarm your vehicle you must program a 4-digit passcode using the
instructions below:
STEP 1: Disarm/unlock the alarm (remote must be programmed first) and
choose a 4-digit code. You can not have zeros.
STEP 2: Turn the ignition key to the “on” position and leave the driver’s
door open.
STEP 3: Knock on the windshield in front of the RPS a total of 5 times
(each time you knock the LED on the RPS will flash RED). The LED will begin to
flash rapidly in BLUE with the successful completion of this step.
STEP 4: Enter the first digit of the desired four-digit passcode by
knocking on the windshield in front of the RPS the desired number of times.
For example, to enter 3, knock on the sensor 3 times (each time you knock the
LED will flash RED) then wait.
STEP 5: The LED on the RPS will confirm your first number by flashing
BLUE slowly. Once the LED begins to flash rapidly in BLUE, enter your second
number by repeating step 4.
STEP 6: Repeat steps 4 & 5 to enter all four numbers.
STEP 7: Turn the ignition OFF – the RPS disarm/unlock passcode is now
programmed. Follow steps 3 – 5 to enter your disarm/unlock code.
Alarm rearm and lock
To rearm, knock on your sensor 5 times.
Alarm disarm and unlock
To disarm, knock on your sensor 5 times. Wait for the Blue LEDs to flash
rapidly. Follow STEP 4 and 5 above to enter your 4-digit passcode.
2 Way LCD remote paging
On page 2 Way LCD remote just knocks on the RPS twice.
Knock Panel Sensitivity
To change knock sensitivity, disarm the system and adjust the switch on the
rear of the RPS. The larger the circle, the more sensitive the knock sensor
is.
More Optional Sensors
If you purchased an Alarm or Alarm and Remote Start system, you can add
additional sensors from Firstech.
Protect your investment by adding a battery backup system to protect main
power or an FT-DAS sensor to protect custom wheels and tires.
