SETTING UP AND TESTING PRODUCTS

HOW YOUR ALARM WORKS

This alarm is activated by sensing the interior 
light coming on, or by sensing a movement of 
the vehicle.
NB:  If  you  regularly  park  on  a  road  which 
carries  heavy  traffic  then  it  is  recommended 
that  you  set  the  shock  sensing  to  a  less 
sensitive setting to ensure that you do not get a 
lot of false alarms.

TESTING YOUR ALARM

A. Current Sensing
The  alarm  is  activated  by  your  interior  light 
going on when the door is opened. Therefore 
your interior light system must work.
To test your alarm, close all the doors, boot and 
bonnet. Depress the arm button on the remote 
control. You will hear the alarm chirp once, and 
the LED will start to flash. Your alarm is now 
armed.
After 5 minutes, open one of the doors which 
operates  the  interior  light.  Your  alarm  will  be 
triggered and the siren will sound.
To switch off, press the disarm button. If you do 
not press the disarm button, the siren will sound 
for approximately 30 seconds and then switch 
off. The alarm will then
reset itself so that is armed.
When  the  alarm  is  disarmed,  close  the  door 
and then re-activate the alarm. Try all the doors 
that operate the interior light to make sure that 
they all trigger the alarm.
In the normal course of using your alarm, it will 
chirp once when you arm the alarm, and twice 
when it is disarmed.
