System Maintenance

Changing the Remote Control Battery
The 12-volt alkaline battery supplied in your
remote transmitter should last approximately one
year, depending on usage. When the battery
begins to weaken, you will notice a decrease in
range, or the distance from your vehicle that your
remote transmitter will operate. Follow the
instructions below to change the remote
transmitter battery.
1. Using a coin pry off the back of the transmitter (the
transmitter snaps together) and expose the battery.
2. Remove the old battery and replace with GP-23A or
equivalent. Be sure to observe the (+) and (-) signs in the battery
compartment.
3. Replace the case backing, then test the remote transmitter.
It is not necessary to re-program the remote transmitter after
changing the battery.
Adding Remote Controls to Your System
The PRO-F20 has the ability to operate from up to four (4) remote
controls. Follow these instructions to add a remote control to your
system.
1. Make sure the system is disarmed and the ignition is off.
2. Open the driver's door.
3. Turn vehicle ignition on.
4. Press and hold emergency override button.
After 15 seconds, the horn will sound three (3) times. This
indicates that the unit has entered the remote control
programming mode.
5. Release the button.
6. Press the LOCK button (button 1) on the remote control to be
programmed.
The horn will sound once, indicating that the system has
"learned" that remote control.
7. Repeat step 6 for any additional remote controls.
8. Turn the vehicle ignition off to exit the programming mode.
Test all remote controls to ensure that they work properly.
Deleting Lost or Stolen Remote Controls from Your System
If one of your remote controls is lost or stolen, follow these instructions
IMMEDIATELY to remove the control code from your system.
1. Have all remaining remote controls available.

of Adding Remote Controls to Your System .
3a. If you have only one remaining remote control, press the
LOCK button on that remote control four (4) times, pausing
at least 1 second in between each press. The horn must "honk"
each time you press the LOCK button.
3b. If you have two remaining remote controls, press the LOCK
button on each remote control two (2) times, pausing at least
1 second in between each press. The horn must "honk" each
time you press the LOCK button.
3c. If you have three remaining remote controls, press the
LOCK button on one remote control twice, then press the
LOCK button on the remaining remote control once. Pause at
least 1 second in between each press. The horn must "honk"
each time you press the LOCK button.
4. Turn the vehicle ignition off to exit the programming mode.
When you are finished, the lost or stolen remote control will
no longer operate your system.
