Security LEDs
During the Security STANDBY mode, this unit
does not sound the alarm even if it detects a
vibration. Meanwhile, get out of the car and
unload luggage, etc. This unit will enter the
Security mode in 1 minute (default setting).
Tip
If you do not have the front panel, the security alarm
function can be activated by setting the car ignition
switch to the OFF position.
When the unit is entered in the Security
mode, the unit works as follows:
• If "S.LED" is set to "ON," the security LEDs
(yellow and red) blink alternately (Security
mode).
• If the sensor detects any vibration of your car,
the security LEDs (yellow and red) blink at the
same time, and a small alarm beeps (Small
Alarm mode).
If no vibration is detected for 10 seconds after the
first time, the unit returns to the Security mode.
• If the sensor detects a new vibration within 10
seconds after entering the Small Alarm mode, the
alarm sound will gradually become louder.
In 15 seconds, the alarm sound will reach the
maximum and will last 45 seconds, then it will
return to the Security mode (Loud Alarm mode).
Note
If the Loud Alarm mode occurs 10 times, the security
alarm function is automatically turned off to prevent
battery drain.
Canceling the security alarm
function
Attach the front panel, or set the car ignition
switch to the ACC position.
When you cancel the security alarm function, the
unit displays the number of times that the Loud
Alarm mode has functioned due to vibration/
sound to your car.
If the unit enters the Loud Alarm mode 10 times,
"SECU OFF" is displayed.
