Thank you for purchasing an additional DesignTech transmitter.

 

 

Your transmitter has the following special features:

• These transmitters have a special “SHIFT” feature (Button

 

 

#1) which allows control of four separate vehicles with one

single transmitter.

Anti-Scan technology to prevent copying.

verification

Uses one 3-volt lithium battery (CR2032), easily obtained at Radio Shack (Cat# 23-162) or other stores.

To control the First vehicle, simply push the button on the transmitter to control the desired function.

To control the Second vehicle, when button #1 is pushed, the transmitter “shifts” to the control the second vehicle (the colored LED light on the transmitter alternates between RED and GREEN). Then while the LED is flashing, push the button on the transmitter to control the desired function.

To control the Third vehicle, when button #1 is pushed a second time, the transmitter “shifts” to the control the third vehicle (the colored LED light now flashes RED). Then while the LED is flashing, push the button on the transmitter to control the desired function.

To control the Fourth vehicle, when button #1 is pushed a third time, the transmitter “shifts” to the control the forth vehicle (the colored LED light now flashes GREEN). Then while the LED is flashing, push the button on the transmitter to control the desired function.

After the LED stops flashing, the transmitter goes back to controlling vehicle #1.

When teaching the same transmitter to several different vehicles, it is important to remember to “shift” the transmitter accordingly before pushing the START button (Button #2) to teach the transmitter to the unit.

There are 2 methods to teach the module (brain) the transmitter code:

By accessing the module

Without accessing the module -- generally the easier approach if your unit has that capability.

TRANSMITTER CODE LEARNINGATTHE MODULE

The module is often be located under the driver’s side of the dash and usually mounted above the gas and brake pedals.

1.Turn the Control Switch ON

2.Push the RED button to the right of the red LED. The red LED and the dash lights will come on for a second. (The remote starter powers the ignition and accessory wires)

3.Hold down the START button (Button #2) on the transmitter until the red LED and the dash lights come on again for a second. (The module has now learned the transmitter code.) Release the transmitter button.

4.To learn additional transmitters (up to 3 more), immediately (within 5 seconds) push and hold the START button (Button #2) on another transmitter until the red LED and the dash lights come on for a second again.

5.Wait 10 seconds after the last transmitter was taught to the unit, the LED, ignition and accessories will flash 4 times signaling that the unit has exited code Learning.

Note: Teaching the module a new transmitter code will erase all previous codes, so all transmitters must be taught at the same time. You have only 5 seconds between transmit-

ters to begin teaching a new transmitter.

REMOTE TRANSMITTER CODE LEARNING WITHOUT ACCESSING THE MODULE

All DesignTech Remote Starters have a special feature that allows new transmitters to be taught without accessing the module under the dash.

1.Turn ignition (key) ON then OFF (Do not start the vehicle).

2.Flip control toggle switch OFF then ON.

3.Slowly push the brake pedal TWICE (dash lights will turn on for 2 seconds).

4.Flip control toggle switch OFF then ON (while dash lights are on for the 2 seconds).

5.PUSH and HOLD the START button (Button #2) on the transmitter.

6.The dash lights will turn on then off to signal the code has been learned.

7.Teach other transmitters. Repeat steps 5 and 6.

8.Dash lights will turn on and off four times to signal the exit of the programming mode.

NOTE: These transmitters will not operate other brands of remote starters, alarms, or keyless entry systems.

28871, 28861 specifications

Directed Electronics is a leading player in the automotive electronics market, particularly known for its range of vehicle security and remote start systems. Among its popular offerings are the Directed Electronics 28861 and 28871 models. These systems are designed to provide convenience and enhance the overall safety of vehicles.

The Directed Electronics 28861 is a robust security system equipped with a range of advanced features. This model typically includes a two-way remote control, allowing users to communicate with their vehicle from a significant distance. The two-way remote provides not just commands but also visual and audible confirmations, ensuring that users are always informed of their vehicle's status. This feature is particularly beneficial in increasing peace of mind, as owners can verify that their car is secure from afar.

Additionally, the 28861 comes with essential functionalities like LED indicators, a built-in shock sensor, and onboard diagnostics. The shock sensor is designed to detect any impact or disruption, providing alerts if someone attempts to tamper with the vehicle. This model usually supports multiple zones of protection and can integrate with a range of other vehicle accessories, making it highly adaptable to different security needs.

On the other hand, the Directed Electronics 28871 model expands on these features by integrating advanced remote start capabilities. This model allows for seamless preconditioning of the vehicle's interior before entering, creating a more comfortable driving experience, especially in extreme weather conditions. The remote start feature is particularly popular among users in colder climates, as it allows the engine to warm up and the cabin to heat up before use.

Both models use advanced technologies, including rolling code systems that enhance security by changing the code with each use. This feature prevents code grabbing, a technique used by thieves to intercept and replicate the signal from remote devices. Additionally, these systems often come with a streamlined installation process, allowing them to be easily integrated into a variety of vehicle models.

In conclusion, the Directed Electronics 28861 and 28871 offer superior vehicle security and convenience features. With advanced technologies and user-friendly interfaces, they cater to customers seeking peace of mind and innovative solutions for modern automotive needs. Their ability to integrate with other systems and their focus on user experience make them excellent choices in the vehicle electronics market.
