A. Functional description
The Cadillock®technology is an efficient and safe electronic anti-
theft device that uses an immobilizer function to interrupt the
vehicle’s power supply and thereby prevent the engine from being
started. Yet the electrical vehicle data (board computer, navigation
device, etc.) are not deleted during this process.
The Cadillock®Alarm, the top model in the Cadillock®line, com-
bines the patented immobilizer function of the Cadillock®tech-
nology with an additional modern and high-performance alarm
system. This combination of two safety technologies offers the user
a dual anti-theft protection: the alarm system scares off thieves and
the immobilizer function prevents the vehicle from being started.
4

The alarm system monitors the interior, doors, bonnet and boot.
It has the following equipment features:
• Shock sensor (individually adjustable)
• Voltage sensor (individually adjustable)
• Panic alarm / vehicle finder function
• Pre-warning function
• Mute setting mode
• Siren (high volume – 118 dB)
• Automatic lock (optionally, automatic activation of the Cadillock®
Alarm one minute after leaving the vehicle)
The Cadillock®alarm’s power consumption in an activated as well as
deactivated state only amounts to 9 mA.
No interference with the vehicle’s electrical system is required to
install the Cadillock®Alarm and no additional cabling is needed.
B. Installation of the Cadillock®Alarm
For the proper installation, the instructions below have to be fol-
lowed exactly. This not only ensures the correct functionality of the
Cadillock®Alarm but also your safety, above all.
To install the Cadillock®Alarm, you will need:
• a wrench to remove/reattach the vehicle’s negative and positive
cable for the car battery;
• a screwdriver to attach the 2 provided screws for the alarm siren;
• the enclosed Allen wrench.
5

Preparation: Selection of the installation point
Switch off the engine and open the bonnet (or any other access to
the car battery). Make sure that the ignition has been switched off
along with all electricity consumers.
If the car battery has a cover, open it and then follow the installa-
tion instructions.
NOTE:
If any electrical cable connections are attached to the car battery,
we recommend the installation of the Cadillock®Alarm by a special-
ized repair shop.
The Cadillock®Alarm can generally be attached to the car battery or
next to it. What is important is to make sure that the selected instal-
lation point for the Cadillock®alarm fulfils the following:
• the cable length of the Cadillock®Alarm is sufficient to reach the
positive pole of the car battery;
• the vehicle’s positive cable reaches the pole of the Cadillock®
Alarm;
• the black ground cable of the Cadillock®Alarm reaches the nega-
tive pole of the car battery;
• the power connection cable of the alarm siren is sufficient to
attach the siren to a suitable point made of metal and to connect
it to the connection cable of the Cadillock®Alarm main device.
PLEASE OBSERVE:
The adhesive strength of the adhesive tapes is much weaker at low
temperatures (< 15°C). Therefore only attach the adhesive tapes
when the adhesive surface on the vehicle as well as the adhesive
tapes themselves are in a temperature range of > 15°C.
6

When you have selected the most suitable installation point for the
Cadillock®Alarm main device and the alarm siren, please clean the
surface selected for the installation of the Cadillock®Alarm main
device and attach the four enclosed, double-sided adhesive tapes on
the back of the Cadillock®Alarm main device. We recommend
attaching all four adhesive tapes in order to secure the device in a
stable manner. Please do not pull off the top layer of these tapes
yet.
Step 1: Removing the negative cable
Now remove the negative cable on your car battery (black or
marked with the sign “–“). This ensures your safety by preventing
the creation of sparks during the installation of the Cadillock®Alarm.
PLEASE OBSERVE:
The removal of the negative cable can lead to data loss in electrical
devices (radio, CD player, board computer, etc.).
This data loss can be prevented by using a data back-up device. For
this purpose, 2bfirst technologies offers the Memo-Guard
(www.memo-guard.com).
Step 2: Attaching the positive cable to the Cadillock®Alarm
Now remove the vehicle’s positive cable (red or marked with the
sign “+”) from the battery connection point and attach this to the
pole of the Cadillock®Alarm.
Step 3: Attaching the positive cable of the Cadillock®Alarm
Place the positive cable of the Cadillock®Alarm on the positive pole
of the car battery and use the enclosed Allen wrench to securely
attach it with the safety screw, which has already been inserted into
the plastic cover of the battery connection cover. Please tighten this
safety screw.
7

SAFETY INFORMATION:
We recommend tightening the screw during every inspection but at
least 1-2 times per year, since severe shocks may result in a loosen-
ing of the safety screw in exceptional cases.
PLEASE OBSERVE:
The safety screw is an important safety feature of the Cadillock®
Alarm. To prevent the Cadillock®Alarm from being disassembled
during an attempted theft, the cable of the Cadillock®Alarm is
attached with the enclosed safety screw. It is nearly impossible to
remove the Cadillock®Alarm without the enclosed Allen wrench. The
safety screw as well as the Allen wrench are fabricated exclusively
for the Cadillock®line in various designs. Therefore please always
store the Allen wrench in a safe location.
If you often take your vehicle a considerable distance from your
main residence, we recommend taking the Allen wrench with you in
your luggage so that you will be able to remove the Cadillock®Alarm
in the event that your car battery has any technical fault.
Since an unexpected failure of the car battery may lead to inconven-
iences for the user if the Allen wrench is not immediately available,
the performance capacity of the car battery should be monitored
at regular intervals when the vehicle is protected against theft by
the Cadillock®Alarm. For this purpose, 2bfirst technologies, as
a licensing partner of ADAC, offers the ADAC-Battwatch
(www.battwatch.com).
Step 4: Attaching the negative cable again
Place the negative cable of the car battery that was removed in the
first step back on the negative pole, place the black U clip ground
cable of the Cadillock®Alarm between the screw connections and
then tighten the screws of the negative cable again securely.
8

Step 5: Installing the alarm siren
• Attach the alarm siren with the help of the two enclosed screws at
a suitable point on a random metal part of the vehicle; in this
process, attach the black ground cable of the siren between the
screw head and the metal holder of the siren. (Please do not
mount the siren near movable parts.)
• Then connect the power connection cable of the siren with the
power connection cable of the Cadillock®Alarm main device (both
cables are pink) and make sure that the transparent plastic
insulation sleeve (included in the scope of delivery) covers
the free metal pole clamps.
Step 6: Attaching the Cadillock®Alarm main device
• During the installation, please make sure that there is a suitable
possibility to attach the Cadillock®Alarm with the cable tie (see the
last section in this step 6).
• Pull off the cover foil of the adhesive tapes attached in the „prepa-
ration“ step in order to free the adhesive surface.
• Then place the Cadillock®Alarm on the battery surface or – if this
is more appropriate for your vehicle model – next to the battery
on the desired point and press the Cadillock®Alarm down on the
adhesive tapes for a few moments to achieve a secure hold.
• The Cadillock®Alarm is shock-proof; yet as an additional safety
measure, it is necessary to wind the enclosed plastic cable tie
around the Cadillock®Alarm main device and the car battery or
another possible attachment location and pull it tight.
• NOTE:
• The stable and solid connection of the Cadillock®Alarm is also nec-
essary since otherwise the shock sensor is unable to function with-
out errors. Therefore please ensure a stable and solid connection
to the vehicle. In addition, we recommend a regular control, since
the connection may loosen in exceptional cases during strong
shocks while driving, which may interfere with the functionality of
the Cadillock®Alarm.
9

The installation of the Cadillock®Alarm is completed. Now the
Cadillock®Alarm is ready to use and protects your vehicle.
C. Registration information / customer card
PLEASE OBSERVE:
Your customer card is included in the scope of delivery. The device
number of your Cadillock®Alarm is noted on this card. In case the
remote control or your Allen wrench is lost or becomes defective,
you can order a replacement with the help of the device number. For
this purpose, however, you need to register your customer data on
the website www.cadillock.com within one week from the date
of purchase. Please store your customer card carefully.
D. Operating instructions for the remote control
Switching on the alarm
Press the button in order to switch on the alarm mode. A confir-
mation tone will sound once as an acknowledgement and the
Cadillock®alarm disrupts the power supply of the car battery to the
engine’s ignition. After 5 seconds, the alarm function of the shock
sensor is activated; the voltage sensor after 30 seconds. If the door
is opened in the alarm mode during an attempted theft, the signal
of the siren will sound for 30 seconds. If the attempted theft is not
discontinued, the alarm siren will continue to sound four more times
for 30 seconds.
If any electricity consumers (e.g. the ventilator) are still active in the
vehicle at the time of the activation of the Cadillock®Alarm, the con-
firmation tone will sound four times (instead of once) when the
button is pressed. This notifies the user that the voltage sensor
has not been activated. However, the immobilizer function and the
10

shock sensor are activated. During the next 15 minutes, the
Cadillock®Alarm checks whether all electricity consumers have been
deactivated, then there is one more confirmation tone as an
indicator that the voltage sensor has now been activated as well. If
any electricity consumers are activated in the vehicle even after
15 minutes, the function of the voltage sensor remains deactivated.
Switching off the alarm
Press the button to switch off the alarm. A confirmation tone will
sound twice as an acknowledgement and now the Cadillock®Alarm
deactivates the alarm system and restores the interrupted power
supply to start the vehicle.
Mute setting mode
This function is intended for situations in which the vehicle is parked
in a populated area and it can be expected that the alarm may be
set off even without an intentional contact with the vehicle due to
masses of people or playing children. Therefore the mute setting
mode only deactivates the shock sensor but not the voltage sensor.
Press the button in order to switch on the mute setting mode.
The Cadillock®Alarm disrupts the power supply of the car battery to
the engine’s ignition. After 30 seconds, the system runs in an acti-
vated mode. In order to deactivate the Cadillock®Alarm, press the
button . To switch the alarm signal mode on again, press the
button .
Pre-warning
If the alarm system recognizes a suspicious situation – such as e.g.
a possible attempted theft and an intentional movement of the vehi-
cle, which activates the shock sensor –, the alarm signal will sound
for 30 seconds. When the user presses the button , the alarm sig-
nal is switched off, but all safety functions of the Cadillock®Alarm
(shock sensor, voltage sensor, immobilizer function) will remain
active.
11

Panic alarm function / vehicle finder alarm
Press the button to deter potential thieves or to find the vehicle.
The alarm signal will sound for 30 seconds without interruption; as
soon as you press the button again, the alarm signal is switched
off. The other settings are not interrupted, however, and the
panic/vehicle finder alarm is automatically reset.
Setting the sensitivity of the shock sensor with the remote
control
Press the buttons and simultaneously and a confirmation
tone will sound once (this tone is distinguished from the signal when
the alarm system is switched on and off). When the confirmation
tone sounds once, the lowest sensitivity level is set. When you
press and a second time, the confirmation tone will sound
twice and thereby show that the medium sensitivity level is set.
Press and a third time and the confirmation tone will sound
three times and indicate that the highest sensitivity level has been
set. In order to return to the original setting, press and . The
original setting is the lowest sensitivity level.
Setting the sensitivity of the voltage sensor with the remote
control
Press the buttons and simultaneously and a confirmation
tone will sound once (this tone is distinguished from the signal when
the sensitivity of the shock sensor is set). When the confirmation
tone sounds once, the lowest sensitivity level is set. When you press
and a second time, the confirmation tone will sound twice
and thereby show that the medium sensitivity level is set. When you
press and a third time, the confirmation tone will sound three
times and indicate that the highest sensitivity level has been set.
The original setting is the medium sensitivity level.
This function to set the voltage sensor was also integrated in con-
sideration of the automatic transmission of traffic messages in some
12

navigation systems that also receive messages when the ignition is
switched off. In individual cases, this may result in an activation of
the voltage sensor and therefore the Cadillock®Alarm and this may
lead to the alarm being sounded. In this case the voltage sensor
should be set to the lowest sensitivity level. In all other cases, we
recommend the factory setting on the medium sensitivity level.
Automatic lock mode
Automatic lock ON
Press the buttons and simultaneously and the confirmation
tone will sound three times to notify you that the Cadillock®Alarm
has changed to the “automatic lock” mode.
Automatic lock OFF
Press the buttons and simultaneously and a confirmation tone
will sound five times to notify you that the Cadillock®Alarm has
returned to the “manual lock” mode.
If the mute setting mode was activated by pressing the button ,
this setting is considered when the function “automatic lock“ is acti-
vated.
PLEASE OBSERVE:
Do not try to start the engine when the Cadillock®Alarm is activat-
ed, since this may lead to data loss, e.g. by the board computer, or
to error messages from individual control devices. If you would like
to start the engine for test purposes after the activation of the
Cadillock®Alarm, you will have to reset the lost data afterwards
(clock, radio, board computer, etc.) and in the case of a few new
vehicle models, you may also have to manually correct an error
message yourself or have it corrected by a specialized repair shop.

RECOMMENDATION:
We recommend to all our customers that they do not store the
remote control of the Cadillock®Alarm in the same place as the car
key but keep them separated (for example, by attaching it to anoth-
er keyring). This is for your own safety, since a great deal of car
thefts are carried out with the aid of stolen car keys.
NOTE:
Additional wireless remote controls can be ordered from the manu-
facturer at www.2bfirst.com. Your correct registration is a require-
ment for this. The device number on your customer card has the
code of your personal wireless remote control.
E. Replacing the battery of the remote control
1. Please loosen the three screws on the back of the remote control
and remove the cover of the battery compartment.
2. Now replace the battery. You will need a 12V alkaline battery of
type A27.
3. Replace the cover of the battery compartment and tighten the
three screws again.
The lifespan of the provided batteries is about two years. If the LED
on the remote control only has a dim light during the use, or if the
range at which the wireless remote control functions lessens, this
means that the battery is nearly spent. Then please replace the bat-
tery within four weeks.
14

F. Disassembling the Cadillock®Alarm
Step 1
First please remove the negative cable of your vehicle from the neg-
ative pole of the car battery and release the negative U clip connec-
tion cable of the Cadillock®Alarm from the screw connection.
Step 2
Then remove the red positive cable of the Cadillock®Alarm from the
positive pole of your battery with the enclosed Allen wrench.
Step 3
Now remove the positive cable of the vehicle from the pole of the
Cadillock®Alarm and connect it to the positive pole of the car bat-
tery again.
Step 4
Finally, attach the negative cable of your vehicle to the negative pole
of the car battery again.
The removal of the Cadillock®Alarm is now completed. Please
always store the following components together:
• the Cadillock®Alarm main device
• the safety screw
• the Allen wrench
• the 2 remote controls
• your customer card
