Problem
Alarm does not operate
Alarm does not sound
when it should
The remote control's
range is poor
Possible Solution
• Check all power connections.
• Check the system's fuse. If it has blown, see
"Replacing the Fuse" on Page 15.
• Check the remote control's battery. See "Replac-
ing a Remote Control's Battery" on Page 15.
• The shock sensor is not sensitive enough. See
"Setting the Shock Sensor's Sensitivity" on
Page 10. If you set the shock sensor to its maxi-
mum sensitivity and the alarm still does not
sound, confirm that you mounted the alarm on a
solid, metal vehicle part (not on the frame or on
rubber or plastic parts). If necessary, reposition
the alarm for better performance.
• If you have a large vehicle, the shock sensor
might not detect impacts on parts of the vehicle
far from the system. Remember that most thieves
break into your vehicle through one of the front
doors or windows. If you set the system sensitive
enough to detect all impacts, you might experi-
ence frequent and annoying false alarms.
• Confirm that you have not accidently disabled
current sensing. See "Setting the Current Sen-
sor" on Page 11.
• The antenna wire is too close to metal. If possi-
ble, position the yellow antenna wire away from
metal.
• The antenna wire has been cut or extended. The
antenna wire is factory tuned for the best perfor-
mance (a longer antenna will actually not work as
well as the short included antenna wire). If the
wire has been cut, take the system to your local
RadioShack store for repair service.
