Feature & Option List Page 6 It is recommended to configure all the features and options listed below using the configuration tool found on the module flashing page on www.directechs.com. The web offers more options; however, manual configuration of the features is possible using the information on this page. * Default Option Feat. Operation /Options Description RFTD Output Type. No RF Output* Module is connected to a remote starter using a standard installation.. RFTD Output Module is connected to an XL0 using an RSR or RXT installation (when available).. SmartStart Module is connected to SmartStart using an RSR or RXT installation (when available).. Disabled. Safelock The OEM alarm will not be controlled by DBALL upon remote start. No disarm or arm command will be executed at the beginning or end of the sequence; it must be controlled by the Remote Starter. Smart OEM Alarm Control will behave like a standard Safelock feature on a remote starter. It will unlock at the beginning of the sequence, and relock after start and shutdown. Smart OEM Alarm Control. Enabled* Smart OEM Alarm Control will synchronize with the OEM alarm so that it will disarm and rearm the vehicle in the remote start sequence, only when required. The reason for this is, factory alarm control must often be done by lock or unlock operation. This could create unnecessary actions on door lock modules, such as the horn to honk. When possible, Smart OEM Alarm Control will monitor the alarm and door lock status to detect if the disarm or rearm is required. If the vehicle is unlocked or is not equipped with factory alarm, the disarm/rearm will not be executed. Smart OEM Alarm Control will also monitor the remote starter actions so that the factory alarm control is not done twice. A remote starter, for which the Safelock feature is active, will work perfectly with this option and will make it invisible to the user. Transponder Ignition Disarm with Unlock:. Disabled (no Factory Alarm) No disarm operation on unlock or trunk. Enabled* Will disarm vehicle by cycling the ignition before unlocking or opening Trunk
