SOS mode
First it is important to locate the alarm in the desired position as the system will calibrate to ‘learn’ its
position. Now press the key on the remote and the alarm will bleep 5 times. The additional SOS mode is
now enabled and will become effective along with the main system when armed.
If the system gives 2 bleeps then this means the calibration was not successful and you need to repeat the
process.
To exit SOS mode press the key once and a long bleep will indicate that the mode is off.
You can also use your CatShark fob to help find your car in a busy place - simply press the key and your
alarm will respond.
All settings will be saved - however, when the battery is replaced, some of the settings may need to be
re-entered.
Normal use is therefore to arm your system and to disarm the system.
It is possible to change some CatShark settings to better suit your individual preferences.
If you press and hold the key on the remote, the alarm will enter into a settings feature. The alarm will
also emit the normal disarm sound - this can be ignored.
Installation
Once you are familiar with the various settings CatShark can be deployed in position. The unit has 3
Neodymium magnets that act as both sensors and high power clamps to attach CatShark to any ferrous
metal surface. The unit is positioned with the Shark logo facing towards the metal surface. It is not necessary
to attach the unit directly to the exhaust system and, due to the high temperatures involved, it is
recommended that you do not attach directly to any parts of the exhaust.
Find a surface that CatShark clamps to solidly and is nearby the exhaust system. You will find that because
CatShark has selectable sensitivity, it will be highly effective in almost any position provided it is able to
clamp to the surface selected.
CatShark can be used in other protection type roles and sometimes there may not be a ferrous metal
surface to attach to. In these applications you can use the adhesive pads or cable ties provided.
Sensitivity
To adjust sensitivity, press the key to scroll through the 3 levels from low to high sensitivity. The level
selected will be ‘parked’ at the point at which you release the button.
The alarm volume level can be adjusted by holding the key in a similar way - there are 3 levels of volume.
CatShark is design to be sensitive to the type of activity associated with theft of parts. An additional mode is
also available that will respond to any disturbance in the orientation of the unit as installed. This might be,
for example, an attempt to raise the vehicle or even remove the alarm. This ‘SOS’ mode is not activated as a
factory setting but is easy to activate.
