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.
