Bulldog Security 2002 Automobile Alarm User Manual

1. Locate a solid, well grounded metal surface under the hood. Any metal fender, firewall, or metal
plate will do. For the loudest sound, the siren should point down. CAUTION: Do not mount close to
exhaust or other high temperature areas. Make sure the alarm as well as the metal it's mounted
to is solid with no moving parts nearby. The siren should not point straight up, as moisture could
collect in the siren horn and damage the system. (See figure #1)
2. Use three self-tapping screws (included) to secure alarm. Screw into a well grounded metal surface.
CAUTION: You must use all 3 screws. (See figure #2)
3. Connect the Red power wire with the supplied alligator clip to any constant +12 volt supply.
(Example: Battery) If installation is correct, alarm will say “Thank You”. (See figure #3)
4. (Optional) For even greater protection, you may now install a 9-volt alkaline battery. This would
allow your alarm to operate in the event of a dead or disconnected battery. CAUTION: Optional
battery back-up may be installed only after steps 1-3 are completed.
5. For maximum range, keep the Yellow antenna wire straight and as far away from metal as possible.
6. CAUTION: If for any reason you disconnect the power, you must disconnect the 9-volt battery.
When reinstalling, the red wire must be connected before the optional 9-volt battery is installed.

Locations
NOTE: Before operating your alarm, slide the protector down
(attached to the back of your remote transmitter) snap off the back and snap to the front.
Arming
Press transmitter button #1 (Arm Talk). The alarm will set and a man's voice will acknowledge by saying
"System Armed”. NOTE: Your alarm will ignore all violations; current and shock, for approximately 45 seconds
after you arm it.
Disarming
Press transmitter button #1 (Arm Talk) again to disarm. Alarm will disarm and a man's voice will acknowledge
by saying "System Disarmed”. NOTE: If the vehicle was tampered with while the alarm was set, the alarm
will have sounded for 30 seconds, shut off and then rearmed itself. When disarmed the alarm will say "System
disarmed, I was tampered with". This is a good time to inspect the vehicle for forced entry marks, paint
dings or scratches, and check to be sure a wheel isn't partially removed, etc. Button #2 (Arm Chirp) does
the same as button #1, except there is no voice. (Example: 1 chirp to arm, 2 chirps to disarm, 3 chirps
if impact occurred while the alarm was set, 4 chirps for current sensing)
Adjusting the Shock Sensor
Disarm the system, press and hold transmitter button #3 (finder) until the alarm says “Please Adjust
Sensor Now” (approximately 5 seconds), immediately release the button. Tap your hood above the alarm at
the sensitivity level you wish. The harder you hit the car the less sensitive the alarm will be. The alarm
will then say “Thank You”. The shock sensor is now set at this sensitivity. Any shock that is equal to or
greater will sound the alarm. Set the sensitivity as often as you wish; however, the sensitivity level
will remain set until the battery is disconnected or you reset it. If you do not tap the car it will
automatically go to maximum sensitivity. This setting is only acceptable if the car is parked inside a
garage.
Dual Stage Shock Sensor
A single shock will cause the alarm to respond “You are too close to the vehicle, please move away”.
Continued tampering will cause the alarm to respond “I was tampered with”, and the siren will sound.
Car Finder
While the system is armed, press and release transmitter button #3 (finder). The alarm will chirp 8 times.
This is used to locate your vehicle in a crowded parking lot. (Only when system is armed).
Instant Panic
Press and release transmitter button #4 (panic) to sound the instant panic alarm. A woman’s voice shouts
“Please help me” and alarm sounds for 30 seconds. To stop the alarm before the 30 seconds, press any of
the 4 transmitter buttons. This feature functions at all times; whether the alarm is armed or disarmed,
or the engine is off or running.
Special Situations
Sometimes when you park your car in heavy rain, near a construction zone, near trucks, etc. you may wish
to lower the sensitivity of your alarm for this arming only. When arming with transmitter button #1, to
lower the sensitivity by 50% press transmitter button #2 within 2 seconds your alarm will say “Thank you”
indicating it accepted your command. To shut the shock sensor off completely, press transmitter button
