AstroStart Security System VSS-113 - Manual (Page 11)

Code hopping
Both the receiver and transmitters use mathematical formulas called algorithms to change their
codes 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 transmitter has been pressed many times out of range of the vehicle, or if
the battery has been removed, it may get out of sync with the control unit and fail to operate the
system. To re-sync the remote control simply press or of the transmitter several times within
range of the vehicle. The alarm will automatically re-sync and respond to the transmitters
normally.
High frequency
Your system transmits and receives at 434 MHz. This provides a cleaner spectrum with less
interference and a more stable signal.
Enjoy a phenomenal increase in range – even in areas with high radio interference.
Owner recognition
Using a hand-held programming 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, whenever 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.
Note: Owner Recognition cannot be programmed without an hand-held
programming tool. Check with your dealer for more information.
Rapid resume logic
This Astroflex system will store its current state to non-volatile memory. If power is lost and then
reconnected, the system will recall the stored state from memory. This means if the unit is in Valet
Mode and the battery is disconnected for any reason, such as servicing the car, when the battery
is reconnected the unit will still be in Valet Mode. This applies to all states of the system including
arm, disarm and VRS ® .
