   Replacing Remote Control Batteries
    1-Way 4 Button Remote Control:
The batteries (model CR2016) inside each remote control should last approximately 1
year under normal use. When the batteries become weak you will notice the remote
control range (the distance from the vehicle the remote control will work) deteriorate
and the small LED on the remote control will dim. To replace the remote control
batteries:
   1. Remove 3 screws and disassemble the halves of the remote control.
   2. Remove the old batteries, observing the +/- symbols on the batteries and
   replace with new CR2016 batteries.
   3. Reassemble the halves of the remote control and install the 3 screws.
   4. Test operation of the remote control.


    2-way LCD Remote Control:
The CR2450 battery inside the 2-way LCD remote control should last approximately 6
months under normal use. When the batteries become weak you will notice the
remote control range (the distance from the vehicle the remote control will work)
deteriorate and the BATTERY icon on the LCD remote control will show.
   1. Gently slide the battery cover off of the remote control.
   2. Remove the old CR2450 battery, observing the +/- symbols on the battery, and
   replace with a new CR2450 battery.
   3. Gently slide the battery cover on to the back of the remote control.
   4. Test operation of the remote control.

                   Code Systems, Inc. Limited Lifetime Warranty


            Code Systems Inc. (“CODE”) warrants to the ORIGINAL PURCHASER of this CODE
vehicle security product (the “Product”), purchased from an authorized CODE dealer, that (except as
provided below) should this Product under normal use and conditions, be proven defective in
material or workmanship DURING THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE IN WHICH IT WAS ORIGI-
NALLY INSTALLED, such defect(s) will be repaired or replaced (at CODE’s option) without charge for
parts directly related to repairs of the defect(s).

           Switches, indicator lights, and transmitter cases are similarly warranted to the original
purchaser for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase of the Product.

           CODE accessories, sold separately, are covered by the applicable warranty accompa-
nying the accessory.

           This warranty is non-transferable, non-assignable and is voided when: (1) the Product is
removed from the vehicle in which it was originally installed; or (2) the vehicle in which the Product
was originally installed is transferred to another party.

            This warranty does not apply to any product damaged by accident, physical or electrical
abuse, improper installation, alteration, or use contrary to its intended function, fire, flood, or other
natural acts.

             In order for the Product to be repaired or replaced under the terms of this warranty, the
defective Product must be returned to an authorized CODE dealer and accompanied by a copy of
the retail sales receipt. The date of purchase and year, make and model of the vehicle in which the
Product was originally installed must be clearly indicated on the sales receipt.

         This warranty is exclusive and CODE MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MER-
CHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE
DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY. IN NO CASE SHALL CODE BE LIABLE FOR ANY
CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF THIS OR ANY OTHER WAR-
RANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHATSOEVER.

CODE does not warrant that the Product cannot be compromised or circumvented. THE EXTENT OF
CODE’S LIABILITY UNDER THIS WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT
PROVIDED ABOVE AND, IN NO EVENT SHALL CODE’S LIABILITY EXCEED THE PURCHASE
PRICE PAID BY THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OF THE PRODUCT WITHOUT INSTALLATION
LABOR.

           Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal
rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state
