INSTALLATION ORDER
You can install your system in just 6
easy steps:
1. Connect the starter disable mo dule.
2. Connect the system to power.
3. Train the remote controls.
4. Install the backup battery.
5. Mount the system.
6. Install the status indicator.
We recommend you get a wiring diagram for your veh icle before you begin, so you can easily find your
vehicle’s starter solenoid wire. Wiring
diagrams are available from your vehicle’s dealer or from the Auto Security Helpline at 1-800-598-2527.
You also need a 12-volt test lamp or
DC voltmeter and a wire-piercing
probe adapter (such as RadioShack
Cat. No. 278-715) to ensure proper
installation.
CONNECTING THE
STARTER DISABLE
MODULE
The starter disable module interrupts
power to your vehicle’s starter solenoid so the vehicle does not start
when the system is armed. Follow
these steps to connect the module.
1. Using the starter solenoid’s colorcoded wires as a guide, locate
the wire that goes from your vehicle’s ignition (key) switch to the
solenoid. This wire is most easily
found where the wires connect to
the ignition switch near the stee ring column.
2. Connect the negative (usually
black) lead from a 12-volt test
lamp or DC voltmeter to a metal
vehicle body part.
3. Connect the wire-piercing probe
to the positive lead and press the
pin tip through the solenoid wire’s
insulation and into the wire itself.

INSTALLING THE
BACKUP BATTERY
A 9-volt battery (not supplied) powers
your alarm if its main power is cut.
Follow these steps to install the battery.
Note:
For the best protection and
longest life, we recomm end you use
an alkaline battery, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-553.
1. Slide off the compartment cover.
2. Snap a 9-volt battery onto the
battery contacts.
3. Place the battery in the compartment.
4. Replace the compartment cover.
A new battery powers the alarm for
about 21 hours with no alert, or 15
minutes of continuous alert. The
alarm’s volume is redu ced when it is
operating from the battery.
We recommend you replace the battery every 6 months, even if it has not
been used to power the system.

MOUNTING THE
SYSTEM
Select a location for your alarm system in the engine compartment. For
the best results, the location should
meet the following conditions.
• All wires should reach the ir connections without going near moving or hot engine parts.
Note:
If necessary, you can
extend the wires using hook-up
wire and butt connectors. Use at
least 18-gauge wire and an insulated wire connector to extend a
wire.
• The mounting location shou ld be
solid and have no mechanisms or
moving parts on its other side.
• For the best remote range, the
mounting location should allow
the system’s yellow antenna wire
to hang straight down. Do not cut
or extend the wire — its length is
optimized for best operation.
• For the loudest siren, the siren
horn should point down toward
the pavement.
Once you select a location, follow
these steps to mount the system.
1. Hold the system against the
selected location and mark the
locations of the three mounting
holes.
2. Drill
1
/8-inch holes at the marked
locations, taking care not to drill
into anything behind the mounting surface.
3. Secure the system to the surface
using the supplied screws.
Note:
For the best shock-sensor
operation use all three screws.
• The alarm should not point
straight up, as moisture could collect in the siren horn and damage
the system.
• To prevent water damage, the
system should not be mounted in
a wheel well, directly behind the
radiator grill, or close to the
ground.

ALARM VIOLATIONS
Your alarm senses violations by monitoring your vehicle’s electrical system
(current sensing) and by detecting impacts (shock sensing).
An alert sounds immediately if the
current sensor detects an electrical
drain such as occurs when a dome or
trunk light turns on.
The first time the alarm senses an impact that exceeds its sensitivity level,
it says “You are too close to the vehicle. Please, move aw ay” (if armed in
the voice mode) or chirps 3 times (if
armed in the chirp mode). If it senses
another impact within 30 seconds, the
system sounds a full alert.
Note:
If an impact is severe, a single
impact can cause a full alert to sound,
without giving a warning.
When your alarm senses a v iolation,
it sounds an alert for 30 seconds. If
you armed the system in the voice
mode, it yells “I was tampered with”
and sounds loud tones. If you armed
the system i n the chirp m ode, the system sounds loud tones. To silence
the alert sooner, press any button.

TROUBLESHOOTING
This section describes some problems y ou might encounter and gives possibl e
solutions.
Problem Possible Solution
Frequent false alerts
• Another accessory is triggering the alarm. Try
turning off current sensing to see if this solves the
problem. If it does, try turning it back on, then
removing other accessories, one by one, until
you find which accessory is triggering the false
alert. If possible, turn off that accessory when you
leave your vehicle. Common problem accessories are cellular phones, radar detectors, and
vehicle self-test systems. If you cannot turn off
the accessory, leave current sensing disabled.
Your alarm can tell the difference between
Note:
the vehicle’s electric fan and other accessories,

• Your alarm’s electrical connections are not making good contact. Check the connections and, if
necessary, connect the powe r and ground leads
to the vehicle’s battery terminals.
• The shock sen sor is too sensitive. S ee “Setting
the Shock Sensor’s Sensitivity” on Page 13 to
change the sensor’s setting.
• Loud thunderclaps and heavy machinery can
trigger a false alarm. If you know a thunderstorm
is approaching or that heavy machinery will be
used nearby you can temporarily reduce the
shock sensor’s sensitivity or turn it off entirely.
See “Temporarily Reducing the Shock Sensor’s
Sensitivity” on Page 11.
• The system is operating from its backup battery.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack RS-3000 Auto Security Alarm System is an exam ple of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for
the alarm so you can enjoy its protection for years.
Keep the remote controls dry. If they get wet, wipe them dry immediately. Liquids can contain m inerals that might corrode the
electronic circuits.
Handle the alarm and remotes gently and carefully. Dropping
them can damage circuit boards and cases and m ight make the
remotes work improperly.
Use and store the remote controls only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extrem es can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the remote controls away from dust and dirt, which can
cause premature wear of parts.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-
CLEANER
gents to clean the alarm.
Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type in
your alarm and remote controls. Old or weak batteries can leak
chemicals that can damage your system’s internal circuits.
Modifying or tampering with your alarm’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate the alarm’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your alarm is not operating as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance.
