ACTIVATING THE ALARM UNIT

The DEFCON 3 Security System is designed to work with a specific
remote control. To activate the alarm unit, you must first transmit a signal
from its remote control device. Once the alarm unit has received the unique
remote control ID code, it only responds to that remote control and ignores
other signals.
