Q: Where in the vehicle should I
mount the alarm?
A: The unit should be mounted as high
up and as far back in the engine compartment as possible. It does not
matter if the unit is mounted vertically or horizontally, as long as
moisture cannot gather in the siren bell.
Q: I connected power to the unit but
it doesn't respond.
A: Make sure the unit is securely
mounted with all three screws to the metal body of the vehicle. Also
make sure the black wire from the unit is attached to the bracket bolt.
If this is all in place, check the white fuse holder and make sure the
red power clip is connected firmly to the (+) positive side of the
battery.
Q: Why doesn't the unit give me a
Warn Away when you approach the vehicle?
A: The Warn Away responds only when a
direct impact is applied to the body. A harder impact after this initial
Warn Away will set the alarm off in full alarm.
Q: How does the alarm know when the
door is opened?
A: The alarm's microprocessor is
capable of sensing current change through the battery voltage. When the
door is opened and the dome light is turned on, the microprocessor
notices this change in the current status, activating the alarm.
Q: Can I connect Keyless Entry and
Parking Light Flash to this unit?
A: Some of the Do-It-Yourself units
are capable of these connections. Please contact Technical Support to
see if your particular model is capable of this configuration.
Q: Can I get an extra remote
transmitter?
A: Extra remote transmitters can be
purchased through your local Bulldog Security dealer or by contacting
Bulldog Security directly at 800-878-8007.
Q: Can I add an LED to my
Do-It-Yourself unit?
A: Only if your unit presently has
one.
Q: Will my
Do-It-Yourself unit operate my Bulldog Security remote starter?
A: Currently,
no Do-It-Yourself unit has a second channel output capable of connecting
to a remote starter. If you wish to use an alarm to control your starter
, you would need to upgrade to a "ProSeries" system which you
can do through Technical Support at 800-878-8007.
Q: Does the
remote transmitter have a battery inside?
A: Yes. To
replace this battery, simply use a coin on the key chain side of the
transmitter, insert and twist. This will separate the two halves of the
transmitter letting you access the battery. Simply snap the two pieces
back together after replacing the battery.
Q: What is the
Yellow wire on the back of the module for?
A: This Yellow
wire is the unit's antenna. This receives the signal from the
transmitter. Make sure that you DO NOT connect this directly to any
metal or to electrical wiring under the hood.
Q: How do I
enable my talking alarm to say "Please move away from the
vehicle"?
A: This is
done through a simple adjustment of the shock sensor. Disarm the alarm
and press and hold the Finder button until the alarm says "Please
adjust sensor now". Hit the vehicle, open handed, directly above
the alarm. The alarm will respond by saying "Thank you". Next,
arm the alarm and wait approximately twenty seconds. Now hit the
vehicle, open handed, directly above the alarm. Now it will respond by
saying "Please move away from he vehicle". The unit is now
adjusted properly.
