REPLACING THE FUSE

Follow these steps to check the sys- tem’s fuse and replace it if it has blown. The system uses a 5-amp 11/4

×1/4-inch fast-acting fuse (Ra- dioShack Cat. No. 270-1011).

1.Push together the two halves of the inline fuse holder (on the red power wire) and twist them to separate the halves.

2.Inspect the fuse. If the wire is bro- ken or missing, replace it.

Caution: Use only a fuse of the same type and rating. Using a dif- ferent type of fuse or bypassing the fuse protection can damage your alarm or your vehicle’s elec- trical system.

3.Put the new fuse in the holder and push and twist the holder’s halves together.

REPLACING A REMOTE CONTROL’S BATTERY

If either remote control’s range is re- duced or if the indicator does not light when you press a button, replace its battery. The remote controls each use a 12-volt remote control battery (Cat. No. 23-144). Follow these steps to replace the battery.

1.Snap apart the remote control’s case.

Caution: Take care not to lose any of the remote control’s pieces.

2.Replace the battery with a new one.

3.Put all parts back in place and snap the case halves back together.
