Tampering Warning™
Normally, Nova III immediately sounds its siren at the first inkling of an
intrusion attempt. However, you may set the system to issue a rapid five-chirp
warning whenever Nova III detects tampering to the exterior of your vehicle.
If there is any further tampering within the next 30 seconds, or if a door, the
hood or trunk is opened at any time, your Nova III will sound a continuous
125dB siren blast. To select the mode of your choice, see How to Set User-
Selectable Features on pages 9-10.
NOTE: Turning on the Tampering Warning feature overrides the FACT
feature, and vice-versa.
FACT™— False Alarm Control and Test
With FACT, you’ll never experience repeated false alarms. If your siren goes
off, DO NOT remotely disarm the system; allow it to run for the full 30-second
or 60-second siren duration, depending on which siren duration you have set
(to select siren duration, see How to Set User-Selectable Features on pages
9-10). Your Nova III automatically checks for another activated trigger
before sounding the siren a second time. Should the siren sound again, you
will know for sure that someone is tampering with your vehicle.
What Do the Chirps and Flashes Mean?
When you remotely arm or disarm the system, the siren will chirp (unless you
have the chirps muted, see Triple-Mode Chirp Muting on page 5) and the parking
lights will flash. The table below explains the meaning of the chirp/flash signals:
Chirps/Flashes
System Status
1 chirp/1 flash
System has been disarmed by remote.
2 chirps/2 flashes

3 chirps/3 flashes

sounded while you were away.
4 chirps/4 flashes
immediately upon

and/or trunk trigger is open. The system is armed and
the hood/trunk trigger is automatically bypassed.
4 chirps/4 flashes 5
seconds after re-
mote arming

active. The system is armed and the sensor input is
automatically bypassed.
