SECTION 1: SYSTEM CONNECTION
IMPORTANT NOTE BEFORE YOU BEGIN
• Read through the manual completely BEFORE beginning the installation procedure.
• Remove the courtesy light fuse to avoid running down the battery during installation.
• Roll down the driver's side window to avoid locking the ignition keys in the vehicle.
• Use fender aprons and seat covers to protect the vehicle during installation.
• Verify the system contents
1.1 Antenna Connection
1. Mount the Antenna at the front windshield.
2. Antenna should not obstruct the driving view. Since the tinted portion of the glass can affect the range,
do not place antenna on a tinted portion of the glass for maximum operating range.
3. Plug the antenna into the white 7-pin antenna connector. The operating range of the alarm is
approximately 2000 feet. (Maximum 3000 feet) However, the operating range can change depending
upon the vehicle, placement of the antenna, transmitter battery condition, and environmental condition.
1.2 Mounting the Control Module
1. The control module must be attached to an under dash surface that is flexible, such as a thick wire loom.
Allow access to the sensitivity adjustment knobs for the internal dual stage shock sensor. It is important
that the module has some freedom of movement. Unit should not bind.
2. Mount the control module using tie wrap.
1.3 Power and Ground Connection
1. Remove the fuses, and connect Red wires to constant source of +12VDC.
2. Choose a good chassis ground location. Connect Black wire to constant ground.
3. Upon verification of all other connections, plug in fuses.
