PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED
; Opening any protected door, hood, or trunk lid will cause the alarm to
immediately sound. The alarm will continue to sound for 30 seconds,
then stop and continue to monitor all protected entry points. If the thief
left a door opened, the alarm will sound for six 30 second cycles,
remain armed and ignore that triggered zone.
; Whenever the system is armed, the dash mounted LED indicator will
slowly flash. This serves as a visual deterrent to the potential thief.
The LED is a very low current bulb and will not cause the vehicle’s
battery to drain, even when left unattended for extended periods.
; Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle’s parking lights will
flash for the full 30 second alarm cycle, attracting visual attention to
the vehicle.
; Optional - Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle’s starting circuit
will be bypassed. If the thief should choose to ignore the siren, the
vehicle can not be started.
; Any mild impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to sound a
short series of warning tones.
; Any strong impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to trigger
for the full 30 second alarm cycle.
