How do I adjust the sensitivity of the sensor on the Auto Sentry alarm?

The Auto Sentry has 3 settings for Shock Sensor Sensitivity. You may want to adjust this if you find your shock sensor is too sensitive or not sensitive enough. There are a variety of factors that may affect this such as your vehicle size, the specific location in the vehicle that the Auto Sentry is installed and the environment in which your vehicle is used.

To adjust the sensitivity of the Shock Sensor - follow these steps: -

  1. When disarmed, press and hold both buttons for 4 seconds.
  2. The siren will chirp quickly.
  3. Press the remote button 5 times (slowly).
  4. For each press, the siren will respond with a chirp.
  5. After the 5th press, wait 2 seconds - the siren will chirp 4 times.
  6. You can then select from 3 sensitivity levels by pressing the remote button between 1 and 3 times as shown in the table below:

    7. # Button Presses
