INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

You will need a screwdriver or screwdrill to mount the siren.
Step 1: Locate a solid, well grounded metal surface under the hood. Any metal
fender, firewall or metal wheel well will do. For the loudest sound, the siren
should point down. CAUTION: Do not mount close to exhaust or other high temp­erature areas. Make sure the alarm, as well as the metal it is mounted to, is
solid with no moving parts nearby. The siren should not point up, as moisture
could collect in the siren horn and damage the system.

Step 2: Use three self-tapping screws (included) to secure the alarm. Screw into a
well-grounded metal surfaces. CAUTION: You must use all three screws.

Step 4: For maximum range, keep the yellow antenna wire as straight as possible.

Arming
Press Button #1 (Arm) the alarm will chirp once and arm.
NOTE: Your alarm will ignore all violations, current and shock, for approximately 45 seconds after arming.

Disarming
Press Button #2 (Disarm). The system will chirp twice indicating that the system is disarmed. NOTE: If you hear
three chirps when disarming, the vehicle experienced an impact violation while armed. If you hear four chirps
when disarming, the vehicle experienced a current violation while armed. This is a good time to check your
vehicle for possible damage or an attempted break in.

Car Finder
While the system is armed, press and release Button #3 (Finder). The alarm will chirp eight times. This is used to
locate your vehicle in a crowded parking lot.

Instant Panic
Press and release Button #4 (Panic) to sound the instant panic siren. The siren will activate for 30 seconds and then
shut off. To stop the siren before the 30 seconds, press any of the four buttons. This feature functions at all times;
if the alarm is armed, disarmed, or if the engine is running or not.

Dual Stage Shock Sensor
A light impact will cause the alarm to respond with three chirps. Continued tampering will cause the alarm to respond
with full alarm violation.

Adjusting the Shock Sensor Sensitivity
To adjust the shock sensor, disarm the system, press and hold Button #3 (Finder) until the alarm chirps four times
(approximately five seconds), immediately release the button. Tap your vehicle’s hood above the alarm at the sensitivity
level you wish. The harder you hit the car the less sensitivity the alarm will be. The alarm will then chirp three
times. The shock sensor is now set at this sensitivity. Any shock that is equal to, or greater than this sensitivity,
will sound the alarm. Set the sensitivity as often as you wish; however, the sensitivity level will remain set until
the battery is disconnected or you reset it. If you do not tap the car it will automatically go to maximum sensitivity.
This setting is only acceptable if the car is parked inside a garage. NOTE: The factory setting on the shock sensor
should be acceptable for most vehicles.

To Turn Off Current Sensor
Disarm the system. Press and hold Button #4 (Panic) until the alarm chirps twice (approximately five seconds). This
indicates that current sensing is now turned off. To turn current sensing back on: disarm the system. Press and hold
Button #4 (Panic) until the alarm chirps once (approximately five seconds). This indicates that current sensing is
now turned on. NOTE: Factory setting is current sensing ON.

Adding A New Transmitter (Disarm alarm)
Press and hold Button #1 (Arm). The alarm will chirp once. Keep Button #1 held until the alarm chirps one more time.
Release Button #1 on the working remote and press and release Button #1 (Arm) on the new remote. The unit will chirp
once more.

Special Situations
Sometimes when you park your car in heavy rain, near a construction zone, near trucks, etc. you may wish to lower the
sensitivity of your alarm FOR THIS ARMING ONLY. To lower the sensitivity by 50%, press Button #1 to arm and then again
within two seconds after arming. To shut the shock sensor off completely, press Button #1 twice within two seconds
after arming. The next time the alarm is set it will go back to the original setting.

Transmitter Battery
The battery in your Bulldog transmitter is engineered for life. If the battery fails or the L.E.D. is not illuminating
when pressing a button, contact Bulldog Security for a replacement battery or replace the battery with a Part #A-23,
12 volt battery. To change the battery, simply insert a coin on the keychain side and twist to open the transmitter.
Replace the battery and snap the transmitter back together.
