This section describes some problems you might encounter, and gives possible solutions.
Problem | Possible Solution |
|
|
|
|
Frequent false alerts | • Another accessory is triggering the alarm. Try |
| turning off current sensing to see if this solves |
| the problem. If it does, try removing other |
| accessories, |
| accessory is triggering the false alert. If possi- |
| ble, turn off that accessory when you leave |
| your vehicle. Common problem accessories |
| are cellular phones, radar detectors, and vehi- |
| cle |
| accessory, leave current sensing disabled. |
| Note: Your alarm can tell the difference |
| between the vehicle’s electric fan and other |
| accessories, so the fan does not trigger a false |
| alarm if it turns on while the system is armed. |
| • Your alarm’s electrical connections are not |
| making good contact. Check the connections |
| and, if necessary, connect the power and |
| ground leads to the vehicle’s battery terminals. |
| • The shock sensor is too sensitive. See “Set- |
| ting the Shock Sensor’s Sensitivity” on Page 8 |
| to change the sensor’s setting. |
| • Loud thunderclaps and heavy machinery can |
| trigger a false alarm. If you know a thunder- |
| storm is approaching or that heavy machinery |
| will be used nearby, you can temporarily |
| reduce the shock sensor’s sensitivity or turn it |
| off entirely. See “Temporarily Reducing the |
| Shock Sensor’s Sensitivity” on Page 9. |

The alarm is not loud | • The siren is being muffled by the engine or |
enough | hood. Try repositioning the siren so it points to |
| the pavement. |
