| 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. |
