Testing Your Alarm - Mongoose M20 Owner's Operation Manual

TESTING YOUR ALARM

We strongly recommend that you test your alarm frequently. It takes only a short time and is very important to
maximise the protection of your vehicle.
1. Arm the system.
Without disarming the system, just unlock the door with the ignition key and open the door. The alarm should
sound and the indicators flash. Check all the other doors , bonnet and boot by the same procedure.
2. Engine immobiliser.
Open the drivers window. Arm the alarm. Without opening a door, reach in and try to start the engine. It should not
start.
3. Shock sensor.
Arm the system. Check the shock sensor by giving the vehicle varying degrees of impact. The degree of force
required to trigger the shock sensor should have been set at the time of installation. If it is adjusted too lightly, the
siren will sound with only a light shock and cause too many false alarms. Adjusted too heavily and the sensor may
not be triggered. The adjustment is therefore critical and we suggest you see your installer who can adjust it for
your particular vehicle or your for your preference.
4. Remote controls.
Every care should be taken as the remote controls supplied are used to operate the system. Do not get them wet,
drop them on a hard surface or tamper with the internals. To ensure correct operation at all times, replace the
battery with an 12v23a from your Mongoose dealer or electronic supply shop every 12 months.
Please contact your Mongoose dealer, installer or re-seller should you have any difficulty in the use of this product.
