REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY REPLACMENT

B. Shock Sensing

The alarm is activated by a sharp movement of the car. 
The sensitivity of the alarm can be adjusted using the 
adjustment control on the rear of the alarm. Use your 
fingers  to  turn  it.  The  adjustment  control  turns 
clockwise approximately 3/4 of a turn from minimum 
to maximum sensitivity.

TO CHECK THE SHOCK SENSING

Arm the alarm using the keyfob.
Slap  the  windscreen  with  your  hand  -  the  alarm 
should activate. If the alarm does not go off, move the 
adjustment  control  to  a  more  sensitive  setting  by 
turning the control in a clockwise direction. Re-arm 
the alarm and slap the windscreen again to test the 
sensitivity level.
Repeat until you are satisfied you have the correct 
sensitivity for the alarm.

PANIC FEATURE

To  test  the  panic  feature  of  your  alarm  you  should 
press both the arm and disarm buttons on the remote 
control  simultaneously.  This  should  immediately 
activate the siren.
YOUR ALARM IS NOW READY FOR USE.

Your  remote  control  key  fob  is  fitted  with  a  12  volt 
alkaline battery, type 23A/MN21/MS21/A23/VA23GA 
which  will  require  replacement  from  time  to  time, 
depending  on  the  amount  of  use.  This  is  normally 
indicated  when  the  indicator  light  falls  to  illuminate 
when  either  the  ARM  or  DISARM  buttons  are 
pressed, or if the range of operation is reduced. To 
replace the battery, the following procedures should 
be followed:
