ARMING THE SYSTEM - BY REMOTE
The system is armed by depressing button ONE on the remote
control momentarily (approx. 1~1.5 seconds).
You will notice the park lights will flash once to indicate that the
system is armed. (The optional siren will chirp once)
The dash board warning light, LED, will slow flash to indicate
armed mode. If your vehicle has central locking and it has been
connected to this security system, the doors will lock at the same
time as arming.
The system will be fully armed after approximately 5 seconds.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM - BY REMOTE
Press button TWO on the remote control to disarm the system.
The park lights will flash twice and the doors will unlock if wired
to the vehicle’s central locking system. (The optional siren will
chirp twice) The dashboard LED will begin to fast flash to
indicate the system will automatically re-arm after 30 seconds.
You must start the engine to prevent the system re-immobilising.
AUTOMATIC DUAL CIRCUIT ENGINE IMMOBILISATION – 30 SECONDS AFTER IGNITION OFF
If the system is not manually armed by the remote control the vehicle will be
automatically immobilised 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. The dash
board LED will fast flash for 30 seconds to indicate the system is in this sequence.
After 30 seconds the dash board LED will slow flash to indicate armed mode and
the parking lights will flash once. (The optional siren will chirp once)

SECURITY RE-ARM (& RE-LOCK)
The system will automatically re-immobilise after 30 seconds if it has been disarmed by remote.
Doors will also re-lock, if connected, if no door is opened within the 30 seconds. Opening a door will
not prevent the engine from being automatically immobilised – the engine must be started to prevent
this. For the security re-lock feature to operate, the system must have been initially set by the remote
control.
TRIGGER & 2 STAGE DISARM
When armed, if a door is opened or the ignition is switched on the park lights will flash for 30 seconds
(the optional siren will sound).
If the system is being triggered, press the disarm button once to cancel the lights and optional siren.
Press a second time to disarm the system.
AUTOMATIC RE-SET
After the system has been triggered, it will automatically re-set to the armed position. If the parking
lights flash 4 times upon disarming, this indicates the system has been triggered.
ARM CONDITION MEMORY
Should the vehicle battery be disconnected, the system memorises the last set position of the system.
If the system was disarmed and the engine not immobilised prior to battery disconnection,
reconnection does not immobilise the vehicle until reset by the ignition being turned ON then OFF.
If the battery was disconnected whilst the system was armed, reconnection will return the system to
the armed state and then immediately trigger.
PARK LIGHTS FLASHING (connection to the indicators may infringe your warranty)
The park lights flash to confirm the arming and disarming of the system. They will also flash if the
system is triggered whilst the system is armed. The park light output is fuse protected to prevent the
module being shorted.

PARK LIGHT CONFIRMATION / CODES
This is a visual indication of system status.
1 Flash - Armed by remote.
2 Flashes - Disarmed.
3 Flashes - Armed by remote with a door left open.
4 Flashes - Disarmed but system was triggered.
Flashes for 30 seconds - System triggered.
DASH MOUNTED WARNING LIGHT - LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (LED)
Located on or near the dashboard area, the status LED is a small red flashing light that indicates the
vehicle is fitted with a security system. This LED needs to be visible to you.
A) Slow flashing - system armed.
B) LED off - system disarmed.
C) Fast flashing - 30 second immobilisation or auto re-arm countdown.

SYSTEM OVERRIDE – PIN CODED FACTORY PRE-SET CODE IS 1-1-1-1
Should the remote control fail to operate the system or is lost, the system can be overridden using a
unique 4 digit PIN code of your choice. You can change the PIN code at any time when the system is
disarmed and how to do this is detailed later in this manual. The PIN is therefore a unique number to
you and must be memorised or kept secure. Removing power does not re-set the code.
To override the security system use the following procedure.
NOTE: During system override, the remote controls will not function.
Assuming a PIN code of 2-3-3-4 as an example;
A) Open door with the ignition key and close all doors.
(Lights will flash and optional siren will sound)
The override sequence does not operate with any door open.
B) Turn ignition on/off - on/off - on
LED lights for 3 seconds to signify override mode
C) wait for the LED to flash twice for 1st digit (2)
turn ignition off - LED lights solid for 2 seconds then turn ignition on
D) wait for LED to flash the 2nd digit (3)
turn ignition off - LED lights solid for 2 seconds then turn ignition on
E) wait for LED to flash the 3rd digit (3)
turn ignition off - LED lights solid for 2 seconds then turn ignition on
F) wait for LED to flash the 4th digit (4)
G) turn ignition off – LED lights solid to confirm last digit input
Assuming the PIN code is correct, the system will now disarm and the optional
siren will stop sounding and the engine may be started.

SYSTEM OVERRIDE - CONTINUED
NOTE: This system will always automatically immobilise the engine each time the ignition is
turned off. If either of the 2 supplied remote controls are lost or fail to operate, then this override
sequence will have to be used until replacement remotes are obtained.
The PIN code programmed at the time of installation is:--------
DO NOT LEAVE THIS MANUAL IN YOUR VEHICLE
IS THE VEHICLE BATTERY FLAT ? THE OVERRIDE WILL NOT OPERATE IF THE VEHICLE
BATTERY IS FLAT.
CHANGING THE PIN CODE NUMBER
Your PIN code number can be changed at any time when the system is disarmed.
Information on how to change the code is given in the installation section of this manual but
we suggest this is carried out by an authorised Mongoose dealer.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I FORGET MY PIN CODE NUMBER ?
Providing your remote controls are in working order, you can re-programme a new PIN or,
visit an authorised Mongoose dealer who can re-programme a unique number for you.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I FORGET MY PIN CODE NUMBER AND HAVE LOST OR
DAMAGED MY REMOTE(S) AND I CAN’T START MY VEHICLE ?
Due to the high security of this product, this system can only be deactivated by the supplied
remote controls or by the PIN coded override. It is important that the PIN code is a number
easily memorised by yourself and/or written down in a secure place.
If you cannot recall the PIN code, please call your local Mongoose direct during normal
office hours. You will need to provide evidence that you are the vehicle owner and the serial
number of the security system. Once validated, we will assist you in getting your vehicle
mobile.
Roadside assistance personnel will not be able to assist you other than by rewiring the
system. Any associated costs are not covered by Mongoose.
SERVICE
Should you have reason to have this security system serviced, please provide the serial
number of this system.
NOTE: The serial number is not the PIN code.
DO NOT DISCLOSE YOUR PIN CODE NUMBER TO ANYONE.

COMPONENT LOCATION
SIREN ASSEMBLY (OPTIONAL PART)
Select a suitable location for the siren assembly under the bonnet, away from sources of extreme heat
and possible water damage. Select a location that will allow a direct sound path towards the ground for
maximum sound dispersion. In most cases the fire-wall area or one of the front suspension strut
housings are suitable locations. Establish what is behind the chosen location to ensure hidden vehicle
parts are not interfered with. Once the location has been established place the siren mounting bracket
and mark and drill three (3) x 1.5mm holes. Fit the siren bracket and the siren to the bracket.
DASH BOARD WARNING LIGHT - LED
The LED (Light Emitting Diode) is usually installed in an area which is visible from most angles
outside the vehicle and to the driver. The LED is a surface mount type with a self adhesive pad and
is suitable for mounting virtually anywhere. Once this area has been selected, clean the area surface
with alcohol or solvent and attach. Route the cable securely to where the module will be located.
MAIN MODULE – MUST BE CONCEALED FROM VIEW AND TAMPERING
It is required that the main module is located in a position to make unauthorised access difficult. This
is the key to effective security. It is recommended to check where the module will finally be located
before it is secured. Once this has been established the installation may be proceeded with. Do not
locate near vehicle computers or other similar electronic components as they may affect the
performance of this product.
