Xpresskit AstroStart RSS-5224 User Manual

MODEL: AstroStart RSS-5224
2-Way LCD (XRT) Remote Start and Security System with One Mile of Range
The RSS-5224 is the ultimate 2-way communication with graphics and audio tones on a 4-button transmitter,
Multi-channel and vehicle remote control capability and vehicle status indicator via remote.
A maximum of four remote controls can be assigned to your vehicle. See your dealer for additional remote
controls.
The range of your remote control can be affected by a weak battery, interference from nearby
metal structures, hydro poles, or crowded parking lots.
If the vehicle is out of range, the transmitter will emit a soft chirp after 3 seconds to indicate that the
command has not been received by neither the module nor the transmitter.
HOW TO USE THE REMOTE?
To send a command, press the corresponding button for two seconds. The command may not be sent if the
button is not pressed long enough.
The remote control beeps when a button is pressed, then emits eight short beeps during the transmission, i.e.
about one second after the button was pressed.
Your remote control can transmit on four different channels, allowing control of four separate vehicles. Only the
"Panic" command is transmitted on both channels simultaneously.
To select a different channel, press the "P" button located on the back and hold it for 2 secondes, when the button
is released the transmitter passes to the next channel.
The remote control shown may differ from that included in the kits.
Your system may be programmed in such a way that it can distinguish between two groups of remote controls (maximum: two
remotes per group). These groups let you activate predefined settings (seat, mirror and other) when unlocking certain vehicles
(additional optional equipment required). This feature is available with certain firware only.
As soon as a command is sent, the remote switches over to standby mode in order to receive and display confirmations sent by
the command module installed in the vehicle. These confirmations are sent to all the programmed remote.
These signals are transmitted only once and could be neutralized by radio or electromagnetic interferences generated by
electronic devices in the vicinity.
If no confirmation is received in a given location, move away from electronic devices and activate the "Status" command (
The start module will inform you of the status of door locks, alarm (only if the Factory Alarm Trigger Monitoring feature is
supported by the firmware), and running of the engine.
Note that the communication between the vehicle and the transmitter operates in only one direction at a time. This is why it is
recommended to wait for the confirmation before sending another command. Otherwise, the vehicle and the transmitter could
transmit at the same time wich would block the command as well as the returned confirmation.
Out of range
If the vehicle is out of range, the transmitter will emit a soft chirp after 3 seconds to indicate that the command has not been
received by neither the module nor the transmitter.
