code hopping The receiver and transmitters use a mathematical formula called an algorithm to change their code each time the transmitter is used. This technology has been developed to increase the security of the unit. The control unit knows what the next codes should be. This helps to keep the transmitter "in sync" with the control unit even if you use the remote control out of range of the vehicle. However, if the remote has been pressed many times out of range of the vehicle, or the battery has been removed, it may fall out of sync with the control unit and fail to operate the system. To re-sync the remote simply press several times within range of the vehicle. The alarm will automatically re-sync and respond to the transmitters normally. owner recognition Owner Recognition is a revolutionary new feature available only from Directed. Using a Directed Bitwriter, hand-held program- ming tool, your dealer can program many of the system settings. The programmer makes it possible to program different settings for each transmitter that is used with the system. Then, whenev- er a specific transmitter is used, the system will recall the settings assigned to that transmitter. Owner Recognition lets up to four users of the system have different settings that meet their specific needs. It is almost like having four separate alarms in your vehicle, one for each user. 40 © 2002 directed electronics, inc.
