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 15.

 

Check the remote control’s battery. See “Replac-

 

 

ing a Remote Control’s Battery” on Page 15.

 

 

 

Alarm does not sound

The shock sensor is not sensitive enough. See

when it should

 

“Setting the Shock Sensor’s Sensitivity” on

 

 

Page 10. If you set the shock sensor to its maxi-

 

 

mum 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, reposition

 

 

the alarm for better performance.

 

• If you have a large vehicle, the shock sensor

 

 

might not detect impacts on parts of the vehicle

 

 

far from the system. Remember that most thieves

 

 

break into your vehicle through one of the front

 

 

doors or windows. If you set the system sensitive

 

 

enough to detect all impacts, you might experi-

 

 

ence frequent and annoying false alarms.

 

• Confirm that you have not accidently disabled

 

 

current sensing. See “Setting the Current Sen-

 

 

sor” on Page 11.

 

 

 

The remote control’s

The antenna wire is too close to metal. If possi-

range is poor

 

ble, position the yellow antenna wire away from

 

 

metal.

 

The antenna wire has been cut or extended. The

 

 

antenna wire is factory tuned for the best perfor-

 

 

mance (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.
