EncryptR 


technology 


What is EncryptR™ Technology? 


EncryptR™ employs proprietary encryption software that sends unique codes from the 
remote starter to the ADS-TB or ADS-AL-CA bypass module that cannot be replicated or 
reversed with hi-tech equipment. 


The EncryptR™ communication exchanged between the remote starter and the ADS bypass 
module is best described as a “secret handshake” that is never the same and changes every 
time it is used. 


Since the command / communication is never exchanged in the same way twice, it is 
impossible even for expert thieves to duplicate and it ensures the best security possible for 
the remote starter system. 


Added Security 


Every installation of a Polarstart remote starter used in conjunction with an ADS-TB or an 
ADS-AL-CA with the EncryptR™ Technology comes with a Limited Anti-Theft Warranty 
covering up to 2000$ in the event of theft. In order to qualify, upon completion of the 
installation, your installer should go on-line to www.encryptr.com and fill out the Limited anti- 
theft warranty form. A copy should be printed and given to you for your records. Within ten 
(10) working days a pair of holographic stickers will be mailed to you. Upon receiving them, 
you must ensure to affix them on both front side windows of your vehicle. 


Holographic stickers to be affixed on both side windows.

Heater 


When leaving the vehicle it is recommended to preset the accessory controls in preparation for the 
next remote start. Settings for the blower motor (fan) should not be left on HIGH. It is recommended

Certain vehicles energize the radio and / or windshield wipers and / or headlight circuits while 
running under remote start. When leaving the vehicle you must ensure that the windshield wiper 
and headlight switches are OFF. Leaving the headlight switch ON on certain types of vehicles could 
cause them to remain ON even after remote starter shut down, resulting in a dead battery.

Shock Sense & Warn Away sense 


If somebody hits, jostles or otherwise moves your car, the shock sensor sends a signal to the brain 
indicating the intensity of the motion. Depending on the severity of the shock, the system can react 
to a full shock by triggering the alarm or it can also respond to a lighter shock (30 % of the strength 
of a full shock) by giving a warn-away (without triggering an Alarm condition). However, when the 
Engine is running after a remote start, the full shock is disabled but will still give a warning sound if 
warn-away is enabled. 


Note: Refer to your installer if you wish to disable the shock sensor permanently. 
Siren/Horn Chirp Timing

| Troubleshooting Transmitting Range | 


Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are: 

e The condition of the battery in the transmitter. 

e The operating environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency noise, airports, cellular 

phone towers...) 

Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the vehicle itself. 

e The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well (vans in general have less range). 

e The shape of the roof and A-pillars brings about considerable radio-frequency deflection (in this 
case the signal from the remote control). As a result, the direction in which the vehicle is facing 
in relation to the remote control can affect the range. Straight on (standing in front of the vehicle) 
generally gives you the greatest range; the second best performance is from the back. Using the 
remote control from either side of the vehicle will usually give the lowest range. 

e The range will be significantly lower in a crowded parking lot than in open space. 

e Always hold the transmitter high, approximately at shoulder height. 

The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or factory 

alarm
