Installer Warnings - Marksman X6 Installation Manual

Installer Warnings

• Due to the complexity of this system, installation must only be performed by a qualified
professional installer. This remote start and alarm system is NOT a "Do It Yourself" product.
• This remote starter and alarm system is designed to be installed on fuel injected gasoline or diesel
vehicles with an automatic transmission ONLY. Installation of this system on a vehicle with a
manual transmission (Stick Shift) is dangerous and is contrary to it's intended use.
• This system must be installed and wired through a safety switch so it will not start the engine
while in any forward or reverse gear. This is normally accomplished by connecting the systems
provided safety wire to the vehicles electronic Neutral Safety switch located on the transmission
shifter.
• Some automatic transmission vehicles may have a mechanical type park safety lock system
instead of electrical safety switch. This mechanical type system does not interrupt the starter
circuit when the transmission is any gear and does not offer the 100% level of safety required for
remote starting purposes. The next best safety connection point on this type of vehicle would be
the vehicle parking brake switch. This requires the user to set the parking brake prior to activating
the remote starting system.
• Once you install this system, you must verify that the vehicle will not start in any forward or
reverse gear. Regardless of the type of vehicle.
• Do not install any component near the brake, gas pedal or steering linkage.
• Some vehicles have a factory installed transponder immobilizer system that can severely
complicate the installation. There is a possibility that this system can not be installed on some
immobilizer equipped vehicles.
• Most vehicles have an SRS air bag system. Use extreme care and do not probe any wires of the
SRS system. Disconnect the vehicle (+) or (-) battery cable before installing this system on the
vehicle.
• Use conventional crimp lock type connectors on all low current wiring connections. Poor wiring,
i.e. taped joints, will introduce unreliability into the remote start and alarm system and may result
in false alarms, incorrect or failed operation.
• All wires that operate at currents higher than 10A should be soldered to insure a long lasting
connection.
• Install wiring neatly under carpets or behind trim to prevent possible damage to wires.
