INTRODUCTION
This installation manual guides you
through the steps you will take to in-
stall your alarm system. It includes a
checklist that keeps you on track and
a master wiring diagram that provides
an overview of the installation.
Plus, this manual has specific, de-
tailed instructions that tell you how to
first find connection points, and then
how to connect all wires.
Refer to the separate Operation Man-
ual to understand each of your
alarm’s features and to see how to
operate your alarm.
Since there are many different makes
and models of cars, it is impossible
for this manual to cover every wiring
configuration. Instead, this manual
gives you ways to determine the wir-
ing configuration for your vehicle
yourself.
We recommend you read through this
entire manual first to be sure there
will be no surprises during installa-
tion. We have included all the mount-
ing hardware you need for
installation. However, you need these
supplies.
• 12-volt test light or volt meter
• Masking tape and a pen
• Wire Piercing Probe Adapters
(RadioShack Cat. No. 278-715)
In addition, it would be a good idea to
have the following on hand:
• Spare vehicle fuses
• Spare wire tap-ins and 14-gauge
hookup wire (in case a wire does
not reach where it needs to
reach), available at your local
RadioShack store
If you have trouble during installation,
help is just a toll-free call away. Call
the Auto Alarm Helpline anytime at:
1-800-598-2527
if you have any questions or prob-
lems.
Warnings:
• This system produces extremely
loud (120 dB) alerts when trig-
gered. Extended, close-range
exposure to the siren can be
painful and might damage your
hearing.
• Allow at least 4 to 6 hours for a
complete installation. Be sure you
have all required supplies before
you begin. This installation could
require removing door panels and
dash access panels, and using a
test meter or test light to deter-
mine proper installation methods.
