TROUBLESHOOTING
This section describes some problems you might encounter,
and gives their possible solutions.
Problem
Solution
Alarm does not operate. Check all power connections.
Frequent false alarms.
• Another electronic accessory is
triggering the alarm. Try turning
off current sensing temporarily to
see if this solves the problem.
Note: Your alarm is not triggered
if your vehicle’s electric fan turns
on while the system is armed.
• Your alarm’s electrical connec-
tors are not making good con-
tact. Secure the connections.
• The shock sensor is too sensi-
tive. See “Setting the Shock
Sensor” to change the setting.
Alarm does not sound
when it should.
• The shock sensor is not sensi-
tive enough. See “Setting the
Shock Sensor.”
• Confirm that you have not dis-
abled current sensing. See “Set-
ting the Current Sensor.”
The remote control’s
range is poor.
• The antenna wire is too close to
metal. Move it away from metal.
• The antenna wire has been cut
or extended. Changing the
antenna’s length (longer or
shorter) makes the range worse.
