ANTENNA PLACEMENT

ANTENNA
For best results, run the antenna (YELLOW WIRE
WITH BLACK TIP from the back of the unit) as
straight as possible. Do not place the antenna
next to any metal parts or the vehicle's main
computer control module. Range is up to 400 feet.
E MODEL REMOTE STARTERS
Run the antenna up the windshield pillar on the
driver's side and across the top of the windshield
to the center, behind the rearview mirror. Use
the antenna clips provided to hold it in place. Be sure to expose the full length of the clear
antenna. It will perform best if mounted vertically, below the dark windshield tint. Never leave
antenna in headliner.
(800 feet, E models) of clear air reception. While many times you will see a higher range. Many
factors will affect the range, including the amount of radio signals in the area, battery strength,
window tint, etc.

OPTIONAL CONNECTIONS

TESTING: Door Locks
There are three basic types:
"Type A" Door Lock Test (Most GMs and some Chryslers)
Probe both of your door lock wires going to the door lock switch usally located in the driver's
kick panel. Attach the clip end of your test light to a good chassis ground. Using the vehicle's
door lock controls, activate the lock then the unlock, testing both wires one at a time. If one
of these wires tests (+) positive when lock is pressed and the other tests (+) positive when they
are unlocked, your vehicle has a "Type A" door locking system. Make sure to mark which wire is
lock and unlock. Proceed to Connecting Door Locks, Connecting Door Locks. NOTE: "Type A" and "Type
C" locks will test the same, until you test for ground. Make sure you run both tests before making
your connections.
"Type B" Door Lock Test (Most Imports, some newer Fords)
Probe both of your door lock wires going to the door lock switch usally located in the driver's
kick panel. Attach the clip end of your test light to +12V. Using the vehicle's door lock controls,
activate the lock then the unlock testing both wires one at a time. If the test light illuminates
when you probe the lock and the unlock wires your vehicle has a "Type B" door locking system. Make
sure to mark which wire is lock and unlock. Proceed to Connecting Door Locks.
"Type C" Door Lock Test (Most Fords, some Chryslers, GM Trucks)
(Optional part #778 required)
Using your test light probe both the lock and the unlock wires usually located in the driver's
kick panel. Attach the clip end of your test light to ground probing both wires one at a time
while locking and unlocking the doors with the driver's side switch (usually the master switch).
The test light should illuminate in both switch positions. Now attach the clip end of your test
light to +12V constant, probe both wires one at a time again. The light should then illuminate
again only in reverse order. This tells you that you have a "Type C" reversing polarity system.
Make sure to mark which wire is lock and unlock. Proceed to Connecting Door Locks.
Range is up to 800 feet. Each receiver is tested to more than 400 feet
