sensor's arming delay from 3 seconds to 5
minutes. This additional delay will allow any
active circuit in the vehicle to turn off before
the voltage sensor is capable of detecting
voltage drops. This will allow you to arm the
unit immediately when exiting the vehicle, once
the vehicle’s electrical circuit stabilizes, the
alarm will fully arm sometime later.
GREEN LOOP:
The Green loop wire controls the voltage
sensor. Cutting this wire loop will prevent the
circuits voltage sensor from detecting voltage
drops such as the interior light turning on when
the door is opened. This wire should remain
connected unless your vehicle has circuitry
that remains powered when the vehicle is
turned off. Examples of vehicle circuits that
will necessitate cutting the Green loop wire
are automatic load leveling shocks, electric
analog clocks, on board computers that update
their information on a regular basis. If you
experience false triggers after installation of your
alarm system, it may be necessary to delete
the voltage sensor. In such situations, the level
of protection is minimized and relies strictly
on the vibration detector. It may be necessary
to increase the sensitivity of the vibration
sensor. To do so see the section on adjusting
the shock sensors for optimum results.
PROGRAMMING THE TRANSMITTERS:
Your AA-939 Security System can program up
to two Audiovox code learning transmitters. To
program the transmitters, disconnect power to
the alarm for 10 seconds. Reconnect power
and within 10 seconds, press button #1 of the
first transmitter to be programmed. The siren
will chirp indicating the transmitter has been
programmed. Within 5 seconds of the first
programmed transmitter, press button #1 of
the second transmitter to be programmed.
The siren will chirp indicating the second trans-
mitter has been programmed.
NOTE: If the vehicle battery is disconnected,
or the alarm loses power, the
transmitters programming WILL NOT
remain in memory. In such instances,
re-programming the transmitters is
necessary to operate the alarm. To

re-programthetransmitters, repeat the
above procedure.
D. Any forceful impact to the vehicle will
cause the system to immediately trigger
forthecomplete60secondalarmcycle.At
the end of the cycle, the alarm will re-arm
itself, and resume monitoring the vehicle.
OPERATING YOUR SYSTEM:
ARMING:
DISARMING:
1. Exit your vehicle, and close all entry points.
2. Press button #1 of your keychain transmitter
1 time. The siren will emit a single tone
indicating that the system is armed. The
parking light will flash once and the starter
inhibit relay will be engaged.
NOTE: Pressing the arming button twice
within 3 seconds will allow the unit to
arm without the shock sensor. This
will be indicated by a single chirp tone
followed by a single lower pitch chirp
tone. When operating in this mode,
the only detection means will be the
voltage sensor. The next normal
arming of your system will re-instate
the shock sensor.
1. As you approach your vehicle, press button
#1 of your keychain transmitter 1 time. The
siren will emit two chirps indicating that the
system is disarmed. The parking lights will
flash twice and the starter inhibit will be
disengaged. You may now enter and operate
your vehicle in a normal manner.
NOTE: If you heard four chirp tones upon
disarm and the parking lights flash
three times, this indicates that the
system had been triggered in your
absence. Carefully inspect your vehicle
for break in or physical damage.
If your system fails to operate as above:
1. Check and ensure that your keychain
transmitter is operating properly and that
the small LED on the transmitter illuminates
when a transmitter button is depressed.
2. Check and ensure that the Red wire of the
system is connected to a +12 volt battery
source.

sound and the parking lights will flash on
and off for the complete 60 second alarm
cycle.
B. Any unauthorized attempt to start the
vehicle will be prevented.
C. Any light impact to the vehicle glass or
body panels will cause the system to
immediately sound the warning chirp,
discouraging any further attempts to
enter the vehicle.
3. Be certainthatthetransmittersareprogrammed
into your alarm system. If power had been
disconnected from the alarm or the vehicle
main battery had been disconnected, it is
necessary to re-program the transmitters.

of your automotive wiring experience. If you
are uncertain of this procedure, consult your
dealer or qualified mechanic before attempting
to re-wire the voltage sensor RED wire
through the firewall to increase the voltage
sensor's level of detection.
TESTING THE VOLTAGE SENSOR:
1. Arm the alarm system by pressing button
#1 of a programmed transmitter one time.
The siren will chirp once confirming that the
system is armed.
2. Wait 4 seconds to allow the unit to stabilize.
3. Open any light activated entry point, the
siren will immediately trigger.
4. Turn the alarm system off by pressing button
#1 of a programmed transmitter one time.
5. Repeat the above procedure for each light
activated entry point.
TESTING THE SHOCK SENSOR:
NOTE: The shock sensor incorporated in your
AA-939 security system operates on
two levels in any sensitivity range. The
warn away (pre-detect) stage oper-
ates at 30% less shock (vibration)
than the full trigger stage.
1. Arm your security system and allow the unit
to stabilize.
2. Strike the windshield support pillar with the
palm of your hand, the unit will emit a short
chirp from the siren. This is the warn away
(pre-detect) stage.
3. Striking the support pillar firmly will cause
the siren to sound. This is the full trigger
stage.
4. Repeat the above procedure from various
support areas of your vehicle, Bumpers, B
Pillars, etc.
If your system fails to operate as described,
review the following section concerning shock
sensor adjustment.
If the unit fails to operate review the following
section concerning voltage sensor adjustment.
VOLTAGE SENSOR:
In most instances, connecting the Red siren
wire to the vehicle battery will provide adequate
voltage sensing. If your vehicle does not trig-
ger when the door is opened and the interior
light turns on, it may be necessary to increase
the voltage sensor's level of detection. Before
making this wiring change, confirm that the
interior light is in good working order and
illuminates when any door is opened. If your
interior light works properly, and the unit does
not trigger, the Red wire will have to connect
to a +12 volt source closer to the interior light.
This may necessitate moving the Red wire to
the interior of the vehicle and connecting to
the interior light fuse. Routing the Red wire
through a firewall grommet and connecting to
the interior light fuse may be beyond the scope
SHOCK SENSOR ADJUSTMENT:

cates that the unit is ready to accept a sensi-
tivity level change. Press button #2 of your
transmitter to make adjustments. The siren
will emit a tone synonymous with the chang-
ing levels. The lower the tone, the lower the
setting, the higher the tone, the higher the set-
ting. While in the adjustment mode, strike a
support pillar of the vehicle, the unit will emit a
2 second tone indicating your setting. The
system will allow you to keep this setting or
make further adjustments. Once you have
reached the desired level, press button #1 to
lock in your setting. The siren will emit two
high chirps to confirm your setting is locked.
Follow steps 1-4 above to test the sensitivity
level change.
Override Switch Operation
Ifyouloseormisplaceyourkeychaintransmitter,
or if the transmitter fails to disarm the system,
an emergency bypass switch is included to
temporarily disarm the system.
To use the switch;
A. Open the driver’s door. The alarm will sound !
B. Insert the key into the ignition switch, and
turn it to the “on” position.
C. Move the override switch to the “on” then
“off” position. The alarm will disarm, and
the vehicle can now be started.
INSTALLING THE WARNING DECALS:
Once you have confirmed the operation of your
security system, you may elect to install the
security systems warning decals. Typically
these decals are installed on the lower left of
the driver side and lower right of the passen-
ger side windows as shown. Remove the de-
cal backing paper and hold the ends of the
decal toward you. This will cause the center
to bend toward the window. Place the center
of the decal on the window and roll the sides
out one at a time. This will insure no air
bubbles get under the decal when affixing it to
the window. Once in place, smooth out the
entire label pressing it firmly to the window.
Remote Panic Operation
The alarm can be activated via the keychain
transmitter to draw attention to your vehicle
during an emergency situation.
To activate the panic feature;
