AstroStart 4204-A Remote Starter User Manual


 
1
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING AN ASTROSTART REMOTE CAR STARTER!
Like you, Astroflex is concerned with the environment.
This is why we suggest using the two-minute runtime
when you remote start your vehicle to warm up engine fluids.
We take this opportunity to remind you to properly defrost your windows
and remove all the snow from your vehicle before driving on public roads.
Rolling igloos are extremely dangerous!
We wish you an excellent journey with your remote engine starter!
USER GUIDE FOR 2205A AND 4204A REMOTE ENGINE STARTER.
These models are Bi-directional remote engine start systems. This means that they can communicate both ways and
therefore return an acknowledgment to the transmitter and/or communicate the status of the vehicle.
An optional alarm kit (PN 310-120-503) can be added to these models. If this is the case, functions inherent to the alarm
system described in this manual will be attributed to it.
The functions relative to the safety system described in this manual apply only to remote starter to which an alarm kit has
been added.
Both models offer a keyless entry feature allowing the user to operate the door locks as well as access to the trunk of the
vehicle. These features are optional and may require additional material and/or wiring during installation.
