I have been storing this alarm for 10 years and now that I have a truck that needs it I cant remember how to use it! If someone would be kind enough to send me a users manual or at least tell me some of the important details I would deffinetly appreciate it.

Thanks

Yes and thanks for the reply. I put on my thinking cap and remebered how to adjust it. For any one else interested it goes like this:

Put alarm in valet.

Shut doors.

Hold tx and ext buttons on remote until siren chirps and led flashes.

Use tx button to increase and ext button to decrease sensitivity (i might have this backwards). Led will flash when it detects motion.

Hold tx and ext buttons again to leave adjust mode.

Take alarm out of valet.

Remember this is only too adjust the interior sensitivity. If your interior sensitivity extends out of the vehicle you will get false alarms from cats etc... This will wiz off your neighbors and if your alarm is always falsing not even you will pay attention to it. The exterior field is adjustable through jumpers inside the main unit.

Hope this helps.

Any way I still could use a manual for the diagnostics information incase I have trouble with it down the road.
