INSTALLATION
NOTE: This antenna should be installed only if the ambient air temperature is 15°C (60°F) or above.
1. Make sure you have the anti-theft code for the radio. 2. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
Client Information: The information in this installation instruction is intended for use only by skilled
technicians who have the proper tools, equipment, and training to correctly and safely add equipment to your vehicle. These procedures should not be attempted by “do-it-yourselfers.”
Setting the Control Unit
3. Using a small flat-tip screwdriver, adjust the switches on the (accessory) control unit to the locations shown.
NOTE:
• The switches must be set before the control unit is plugged in.
• If the switch settings are not correct, the remote engine starter will not operate correctly.
• If you are setting the switches with the control unit installed in the vehicle, touch the metal part of the screwdriver to any metal part of the vehicle to discharge any static electricity.
• If you change the switch settings with the unit connected, you must disconnect the unit, then reconnect it before the unit recognizes the new settings.
