FACT™— False Alarm Control and Test
With FACT, you’ll never experience repeated false alarms. If the Insignia Siren
goes off, DO NOT remotely disarm the system; allow it to run for the full siren
duration. Before sounding the siren a second time, the system automatically checks
for another activated trigger to verify that an intrusion is in progress. Should the
siren sound again, you will know for sure that someone is tampering with your
vehicle. (To disable FACT, see User-selectable features on pages 13-14.)
How to interpret the LED status indicator
The LED on your car’s dashboard or console will inform you of the system status:
LED Condition
Meaning
Off
System is disarmed and in normal operating mode (i.e., valet mode is off)
On
Valet mode is on, the vehicle can be driven or serviced without having to disarm
Flashing
System is armed and protecting your vehicle
Pause between flashes
Either a malfunction (see page 10) or an intrusion was attempted (see page 11)
High-output Insignia™ Siren
All the siren electronics are in the system control unit rather than the siren itself.
This protects them from heat, dirt and exposure to the elements (other alarm
companies’ sirens are far more susceptible to failure). Your Sabre II also provides
these additional features:
Long-term chirp silencing:
Whenever you wish, you may silence Sabre II’s
arm and disarm chirps until you decide to restore them. The parking light
flashes will continue to provide visual confirmation of remote controlled
arming and disarming. See User-selectable features on pages 13-14.
Remote controlled chirp muting:
Remote controlled chirp muting capabilities
are especially valuable when parking late at night in a quiet residential area or
any other time when you want to arm or disarm silently. To arm or disarm
silently, simply press button 3 on your remote control instead of the usual
button 1.
