Problem

 

 

Possible Solution

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alarm does not operate

Check all power connections.

 

 

Check the system’s fuse. If it has blown, see

 

 

 

“Replacing the Fuse” on Page 13.

 

 

Check the remote control’s battery. See

 

 

 

“Replacing the Remote Control’s Battery” on

 

 

 

Page 13.

 

 

 

 

Alarm does not sound

 

The shock sensor is not sensitive enough. See

when it should

 

 

“Setting the Shock Sensor’s Sensitivity” on

 

 

 

Page 8. If you set the shock sensor to its max-

 

 

 

imum sensitivity and the alarm still does not

 

 

 

sound, confirm that you mounted the alarm on

 

 

 

a solid, metal vehicle part (not on the frame or

 

 

 

on rubber or plastic parts). If necessary, repo-

 

 

 

sition the alarm for better performance.

 

 

If you have a large vehicle, the shock sensor

 

 

 

might not detect impacts on parts of the vehi-

 

 

 

cle far from the system. Remember that most

 

 

 

thieves break into your vehicle through one of

 

 

 

the front doors or windows. If you set the sys-

 

 

 

tem sensitive enough to detect all impacts, you

 

 

 

might experience frequent and annoying false

 

 

 

alarms.

 

 

Confirm that you have not accidently disabled

 

 

 

current sensing. See “Setting the Current Sen-

 

 

 

sor” on Page 8.

The antenna wire is too close to metal. Try to

position the yellow antenna wire away from

 

 

 

metal.

 

 

• The antenna wire has been cut or extended.

 

 

 

Do not modify the antenna wire. It is factory

 

 

 

tuned for the best performance (a longer

 

 

 

antenna will actually not work as well as the

 

 

 

short included antenna wire). If the wire has

 

 

 

been cut, take the system to your local

 

 

 

RadioShack store for repair service.
