open / Turning on the ignition key will trigger the programmed sequence.
The starter disable relay (if installed) prevents the vehicle’s starter from
cranking. The siren, horn, parking lights, and dome light will turn on alerting
of an intrusion for 30 seconds. Then it will stop and automatic reset and re-
arm. If the any one of the sensors or detectors is still active, the alarm
system will sound a maximum of 3 times of 30 seconds cycles.
NOISE ABATEMENT CIRCUIT: Your system has a “Noise Abatement
Circuit”. It prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door

airport noise, etc.
Here’s how “Noise Abatement Circuit” works: The shock sensor triggers five
times, the “Noise Abatement Circuit” will interpret this pattern of triggers as a

BATTERY CHANGING:
Depending on the usage, the remote batteries should be changed at least
once a year in the one way remote and once every 4-5 months for the two-
way remote.
The 1-way remote, (E-7s) is powered by a pair of 3V, CR2016 batteries.
These batteries are available at most locations batteries are sold and can
be replaced by the user.
Battery Level Indicator (2-way remote)
The Battery Level indicator has three level indicators that serve as a visual
indication of battery charge. When the battery reaches a low charge level
that requires changing, the remote control will generate a single notification
chirp, and the Battery Level indicator will flash continuously. If the
battery voltage is LOW, the range of the remote will be reduced by 50% to
conserve battery life. The two way remote requires 2, 3 Volt CR2032
batteries. The operation lives of these batteries are affected by many
factors including, temperature, usage, back-light ON time and
programmable “in range status settings”. Do not allow these batteries to
corrode or become wet for any extended period of time.
