Alarm does not operate • Check all power connections.
• Check the system’s fuse. If it has blown, see
“Replacing the Fuse” on Page 18.
• Check the remote control’s battery. See “Replac-
ing a Remote Control’s Battery” on Page 18.
Alarm does not sound
when it should • The shock sensor is not sensitive enough. See
“Setting the Shock Sensor’s Sensitivity” on
Page 13. 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 13.
The remote control’s
range is poor • The antenna wire is too close to metal. If possi-
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 actually does 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.
