CAUTIONS & WARNINGS

adequate ventilation. Failure to observe this rule could result in injury or death from poisonous Carbon Monoxide
fumes.
DO NOT ROUTE ANY WIRING THAT MAY BECOME ENTANGLED with the brake/gas pedals, steering column,
or any other moving parts in the vehicle.
REMOVE MAIN SYSTEM FUSE(S) before jump-starting the vehicle or charging the battery at high boost.

COMPONENT MOUNTING
CONTROL MODULE: The alarm control module should be mounted in a concealed location. DO NOT mount the
control unit in the engine compartment. Fasten the module to a bracket or wire harness using the cable ties
provided.
ANTENNA MODULE: For optimum range and performance, the antenna/receiver module should be located high

decrease the range of the system. The mounting surface for the antenna should be clean and dry.
SIREN MOUNTING: Mount the siren under the hood to fender-well or other body surface with the open end facing

body metal near the siren.

screws to firewall or side paneling.
