Spread Spectrum Technology
This groundbreaking technology uses a transmitted signal that is spread over a wide
frequency band and the transmitter abruptly changes (or hops) the frequency in accor-
dance with a pseudo random sequence. With this revolutionary technology, the FCC
has allowed Firstech, Inc. to use 28X more power than any of the transmitters currently
marketed in the US and in most case 56X the power. We are using 560K uV/m in
contrast to most transmitters power of 5 K to 20K uV/m. The result is that our range is
extended up to 1.25 miles. The FCC allows massive power usage because the spread
spectrum technology makes it possible for many transmitters to communicate without
interfering with each other.
For the first time in the history of the auto security industry, Firstech has achieved a
remarkable technological break-through in utilizing a FCC-approved Spread Spectrum
and 900 Mhz Technology.

Important Information
System Maintenance
Please take these safety precautions under the following conditions:
1. Servicing the vehicle
When servicing (i.e. changing the oil, washing your car) your automobile, the CompuStar
system should be in Valet Mode. There is a safety shutdown switch under the hood that
deactivates the remote starter function if the hood is open. However, if the switch has
been damaged or the switch has been installed improperly, the vehicle may start when
Button II is pressed for 2 seconds even if the hood is open.
2. Loaning your vehicle to others
Whenever you loan your vehicle to an individual who is not familiar with Compustar,
please put the vehicle in Valet mode. This will prevent the vehicle loaner from accidental-
ly activating the CompuStar auto-security system.
3. For manual transmission vehicles
If the Compustar 2WSSR is installed in a manual transmission vehicle, extra precautions
are required because the Compustar does not monitor the gear shift :

Remote-Pager Learning
1.
Remote Learning :
Take the AA battery out from the remote.
Turn the key on/off 5 times. If you hear a
relay clicking sound, you are in the learning
mode. Then, put the battery in.
You will hear a clicking sound once, that
means the controller module learned the
remote. Soon, you will hear two relay clicking
sounds, that means the controller is exiting
the learning mode. A few seconds later,
you will hear a confirmation beep from the
remote. If you do not hear the confirmation
within 20 seconds after you put the battery
in, Remove the battery, and put it back in
without cycling the ignition on/off 5 times.
2.
Replacing a battery :
Whenever you replace a battery, do so within
the transmitting range between the remote
and the antenna. If you take the battery out,
the synchronization between the antenna and
remote is broken. When you put the battery in,
the remote will attempt to synchronize with the
antenna. Within a few seconds the remote
will confirm with two beeps indicating synchro
nization has been completed. If you do not
hear any confirmation beeps within 20
seconds, you will have to remove the battery
and put it back in.
Dual Stage Shock Sensor
The dual stage shock sensor on the CompuStar 2WSSR can detect between light and
heavy impact to your vehicle by sensing vibration produced by differing impacts.

You will hear one beep from your remote-pager if there is successful communication
with your vehicle. The engine will start and give you a visual confirmation by an exhaust
fume icon coming out from the tailpipe on the remote-pager CompuGLO LCD.
Remember that a manual key in the ignition is required to drive the car. In addition, the
anti-grind circuit (this maybe an optional feature provided by your installer) prevents
you from re-cranking the starter on a remote-started vehicle. Press Button
II
for 2
seconds in order to turn off an auto-started car. For manual transmission vehicles,
please use reservation mode.
The engine will run 15 or 25 minutes (25 or 40 min for diesel) depending on preset
options at the time of installation, and then shut off. If your remote-pager has a problem
starting the vehicle, the CompuStar controller will try 2 additional times. If the engine
does not start after the third attempt, please call your authorized CompuStar dealer.
Diagnosing problems with Auto-Start
If there is a problem in auto-starting your car, you will hear three chirps when you attempt
to auto-start the car. Wait for 2 seconds and the cause for the error will be indicated by
the number of times the car chirps and parking lights flash.
Page 12 Page 13
Auto-Start Function
In alarm mode, the starter kill function ( this maybe an optional feature provided by
your installer) is activated. This feature disengages the starter mechanism on your car
that prevents you from starting your car even with a manual key when your vehicle s
alarm mode is activated.

after all the car doors are closed. There are two types of passive arming that can be
programmed by your CompuStar dealership : (1) passive arming with passive lock and
(2) passive arming without passive lock.
Passive locking means the door will lock when the system passively arms. In the default
factory setting, the system is armed and locked actively which means the system will only
arm/lock when the remote-pager is utilized.
Ignition Lock
This programmable option enables your vehicle to automatically lock the doors upon
pressing the brake pedal after the vehicle has been started with a key. In addition, the

For example, you can customize your car to have remote power control of your windows,
radio, and sunroof in addition to the rooftop on your convertible car. The remote-pager
has two outputs (Aux 1 & Aux 2) that can be custom utilized with optional features.
Please contact your local authorized CompuStar dealer for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions
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 second to
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.

My manual 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.
For manual transmission cars, the vehicle must be in reservation mode before you can
auto-start your car remotely. If your remote-pager door icon flashes and beeps three
times along with your car s parking light flashing three times when you try to auto-start
your manual-transmission car, reservation mode has not been set. Please see page 11
of this manual for instructions and important requirements to activate reservation mode.
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 (

My car is armed in alarm mode and my remote-pager is not working or I do not have my
remote-pager. How do I avoid triggering the CompuStar starter kill function so I can drive
my car ?
Unlock the car door with your manual key, which will trigger the car s siren and parking
lights. You must manually override the CompuStar security and auto-start functions by
putting the car into Valet Mode. This mode will disable all the functions of the CompuStar
except for keyless entry.
In order to enter Valet Mode, cycle the ignition key from the off position to the on position
5 times within a 10 second period. You are now in Valet Mode and have disabled the
CompuStar 2WSSR security system except for keyless entry.
I keep banging on my RPS (remote paging system) sensor but it is not working.
RPS sensor is usually located on the outside edge of the driver s side front window
shield and detects high frequency vibration. Therefore, in order to properly activate RPS,
the user must produce a high-frequency sound by tapping with a car key where the RPS
sensor is located. Simply pounding on the front windshield with your hand will not pro-
duce the required high frequency vibration and therefore will not activate the RPS
system.
How do I deactivate my RPS audible and visual (telephone icon) paging alerts on my
remote-pager?
Press Button
I
,
II
,
III
or
IV
for a second to deactivate the RPS paging alerts.
My remote pager unit is not beeping audibly when I push the buttons.
Check to see if you are in remote-pager vibration mode by observing a vibration icon
that appears continuously in the upper left-hand corner of your CompuGLO LCD screen.
Press Buttons (
II
+

)for a
second to deactivate the car siren when arming/disarming your vehicle and the car siren
icon will disappear. Keep in mind that your car siren will still activate for all other modes
(i.e. panic, alarm, shock sensor, etc) regardless of whether or not your car siren is in
mute mode.
