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.

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. Page 10 You can reset the remote-pager by removing the AA battery and reinsert it back into the remote-pager. Please perform this procedure in close proximity to the vehicle.

You must press Button I a second again to disarm alarm mode and unlock your doors. I keep banging on my car but my dual stage shock sensor will not work. First, check to see that the dual stage shock sensor is activated by observing that a redbordered indicator box labeled Shock that is darkened in the top left-hand corner of your CompuGLO LCD. If the indicator box is not darkened, your dual stage shock sensor is not activated. Turn on the dual stage shock sensor by pressing Button (I+IV) simultaneously for a second. Note that the dual stage shock sensor will only activate 30 seconds after the alarm mode is armed. Press Buttons (I+IV) simultaneously for a second to deactivate the dual stage shock sensor. My remote pager is not working. I press all the buttons and nothing happens. I am sure that I am within the transmitting range. Page 20 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 authorized 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 remotepager 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 remotepager when you attempt to auto-start the vehicle. After waiting two seconds, the diagnosis 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. Page 21 My manual transmission car is not auto-starting remotely. I keep banging on my RPS (remote paging system) sensor but it is not working. 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. 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 produce the required high frequency vibration and therefore will not activate the RPS system. 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 remotepager unit, you are in this mode and all the functions of the CompuStar 2WSSR are disabled 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 remotepager when you attempt to auto-start the vehicle. After waiting two seconds, the diagnosis 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 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. 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+III) for 2 seconds to deactivate vibration mode and the vibration icon will disappear. My car is not chirping when I arm or disarm alarm mode. Check to see if you are in silent arm/ disarm mode by observing a car siren icon in the bottom left-hand corner of your CompuGLO LCD Screen. Press Buttons (I+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. 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. Page 22 Page 23
