I keep banging on my car but my dual stage shock sensor will not work.
First, check to see that the dual stage shock sensor is activated by observing that a red-
bordered indicator box labeled Shock that is darkened in the top left-hand corner of your
CompuGLO LCD. If the indicator box is not darkened, your dual stage shock sensor is
not activated.
Turn on the dual stage shock sensor by pressing Button (I+IV) simultaneously for a
second. Note that the dual stage shock sensor will only activate 30
seconds after the alarm mode is armed. Press Buttons (I+IV) simultaneously for a
second to deactivate the dual stage shock sensor.
My remote pager is not working. I press all the buttons and nothing happens.
I am sure that I am within the transmitting range.

First, check to see if you have enough battery life in remote-pager unit by looking at the
battery life indicator icon in the bottom right hand corner of your CompuGLO LCD screen.
Replace your battery if indicated. A standard AA battery will last 1 to 2 months depending
on usage and the paging mode you choose. i.e.: Vibration mode. You will notice a loss
of transmitting distance and backlight function with declining battery life.
Second, take the battery out and reinsert within a 10 second period. You have just reset
the computer chip of the remote pager. This may happen sometimes, not always, if your
remote becomes out of sync.
Third, in rare instances, a power surge and/or electrical shock will disable the CompuStar
system when servicing your vehicle. This brief moment of increased electrical power to
the CompuStar brain will erase all the programming functions of your system.
In this case, you must reprogram the remote-pager unit to learn the CompuStar brain.
Read page 10 for the remote-pager learning procedure.
Otherwise, the most likely cause is that the radio frequency mechanism inside your
remote-pager that transmits the 900 MHz frequency is damaged. Physical damage such
as dropping the remote-pager is usually the cause of the crystal not working. In this
case, you must get a new remote-pager by contacting your nearest CompuStar autho-
rized dealer for a replacement.
My automatic transmission car is not auto-starting remotely.
Most likely, you did not push Button II for the required 2 seconds. Pushing Button II for
only a second engages the optional auxiliary function instead of auto-start.
Another reason maybe that you are in Valet Mode. If there is a ZZZ icon on your remote-
pager unit, you are in this mode and all the functions of the CompuStar 2WSSR are dis
abled except for keyless entry. Press Button (I+III)simultaneously for a
deactivate Valet Mode.
If there is a problem in auto-starting your car, you will hear three chirps from your remote-
pager when you attempt to auto-start the vehicle. After waiting two seconds, the diagno-
sis for the auto-start error will be indicated depending on the number of times the car
chirps and parking lights flash. For example, 4 car chirps and parking light flashes
indicates that the car did not auto-start because the trunk was open. Please see page 13
of the user s manual for the error diagnosis table.
