Step 5
Electric Fan Sense
This wire is only necessary in vehicles with electric cooling fans that
stay on after you shut off the car. To tell if you need to hook up this
wire: On a hot day (or after your engine has been running for a long
time) after you shut off your car, your fan will keep running for a few
minutes to cool down your engine. If you have this type of fan, then
hook the GREEN wire up to the wire that supplies +12 volts to the fan
motor. Usually, two wires go to the back of the fan motor. Test the two
wires with a voltage tester and tap into the wire (with a Scotch-Lock
connector) which shows +12 Volts with the fan turned on. This will
disable the current sensing portion of the alarm when the fan is on.
Step 6
Route the Antenna Wire (thick black with the clear plastic end) to the
front of the grille of the car. The last clear 8 inch length is the actual
antenna and must be exposed. Secure the clear end, using 2 cable ties,
to the grille. The more exposed the antenna, the better the range. No
antenna cable should remain coiled up - this will greatly decrease range.
Step 7
At this point your alarm should be working. Before going on, test it
by pressing the middle (red) button for 1 second to get the CarFinder
Feature. If this feature is working, your Smart Alarm
tally functional. If you get no response from this test, go on to step 8.
If the test works, go straight to step 9.
Step 8
Learning the Transmitter Code
Your Smart Alarm
comes with the transmitter precoded to the re-
®
ceiver. If your alarm does not respond to the transmitter, do the fol-
lowing:
1) Pull out the 15 amp fuse for a few seconds, then replace it. The siren
will sound for 1 second confirming the unit is again receiving power.

2) Within 10 seconds of the first step, press button #2 (red) on your
transmitter until the receiver chirps once (usually hold button for about
5 seconds), signifying that it has learned the code. If you have addi-
tional transmitters, teach the receiver these by pressing the second
transmitter's red button within 5 seconds of the receiver learning the
first transmitter code.
3) After programming the last transmitter, wait 5 seconds for the 3 exit
chirps. Your Smart Alarm
is now ready to use! Follow these steps
®
again to relearn new transmitters, if necessary, in the future.
Step 9
Choosing Shock Sensitivity
You can program the shock sensitivity level of your Smart Alarm
maximize sensitivity while reducing false alarms.
TO ENTER PROGRAMMING MODE:
1) Press buttons one and two simultaneously
for 2-3 seconds. You will hear the alarm for
one second and then 3 rapid chirps; let go of
the buttons only after you have heard the con-
firmation chirps or you will not enter the pro-
gramming mode! Once you have heard the
confirmation chirps you are ready to program
your shock sensitivity.
2) Press button #1 (green) to enter the shock
sensitivity selection mode. By pressing the
GREEN button again you can scroll through
the different levels of shock. There are 8 lev-
els of shock and 8 corresponding tones. The
higher the pitch of the tone heard from the
siren, the more sensitive the alarm is to shock. At any time, you can
stop and try out the sensitivity of the setting by hitting your car with
your fist on the body or windshield to see if that level of impact sets off
the alarm (remember, you are simulating the shock which the car would
feel if someone were breaking glass to enter your vehicle). The siren
will sound for 1-2 seconds if you have hit the car hard enough to set off
the alarm.
