Disarm is a feature that makes it possible to silence and reset the
system while it is triggering, without disarming the system. If the
system is triggered and the siren has been sounding for longer
than six seconds, pressing
on the remote transmitter will
stop the trigger and return the unit to the armed state. The
system will not disarm, but rather reset. This prevents you from
disabling the system should you wish to disarm it without visu-
ally checking the vehicle. Pressing
after resetting the system
will disarm the system; pressing this button during the first six
seconds of the triggered sequence will disarm the security system
immediately. The six second timer is provided for your conve-
nience, in case the system is accidentally triggered.
➜
disarming without a transmitter
If your remote transmitter is lost or damaged, you can manually
disarm your vehicle security system. To disarm the system
without a transmitter, you must have the vehicle's ignition key
and know where the Valet
switch is located. Be sure to check
®
with your installer at the time of installation for both the loca-
tion and the preset response (1-5 presses) of the Valet
switch.

Do you have a question about the Automate AM7 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Car starts then immediately shuts off
The Automate AM7 may start and then immediately shut off if it is programmed for voltage sense and the voltage variation between the engine off and running is too small. This can cause the remote start unit to "think" the vehicle has not started and shut it down. Adjusting the voltage check setting to "LOW" may help in such cases.

battery died remote start wont work How do i reprogram the remote to start the car?
To reprogram the remote for the Automate AM7 after the battery died, follow these steps:
1. Re-sync the remote: If the remote has been pressed many times out of range or the battery was removed, it may fall out of sync. To re-sync, press the remote button several times within range of the vehicle. The alarm will automatically re-sync and respond to the transmitters normally.
2. If reprogramming is needed:
- Open a door (ensure the GREEN wire H1/8 or VIOLET wire H1/6 is connected).
- Turn the ignition to the ON position.
- Within 10 seconds, press and release the Valet/Program switch the number of times corresponding to the desired channel.
- After selecting the channel, press and hold the switch. The LED will flash, and the horn will honk (if connected) to confirm.
- Do not release the Program switch until confirmation is complete.
If the learn routine is locked, it must be unlocked using the Bitwriter® before proceeding.
