Transmitter

Congratulations on your purchase of our Smart Alarm®, the first car
alarm designed to protect both You and Your Car.

Smart Alarm® Protects Your Car:

The shock sensor built into the Smart Alarm® sounds the siren and
flashes your car's headlights if your vehicle is struck or jolted.

Current sensor sounds siren and flashes headlights if someone tries to
start your car while the car alarm is armed or if a light is triggered by
opening the doors, trunk or hood.

Smart Alarm® Protects You:

Sounds a panic alarm, which you activate from up to 400 feet away, to
call for help or scare away troublemakers.

The

Carfinder® feature helps you locate your vehicle quickly in a large
parking lot by flashing the lights and chirping the siren to tell you its
location.

Turns on your

headlights by remote control for 30 seconds to light

your way to or from your vehicle.
Stops

carjacking by creating a delayed panic alarm 1 minute after the
vehicle is taken. The alarm will sound and flash your car's lights for 50
seconds after your car has been turned off.
