YELLOW wire will be routed toward the fuse  
panel. Caution should be used when routing  
wires. Keep wires away from all hot surfaces,  
and any moving parts of the vehicle (radiator  
fans, acceleratororbrakepedallinkage, etc.).  
When routing wires through the firewall, be  
sure to pass the wires through an existing  
rubber grommet. Failure to do this can result  
in damage to wires from sharp metal edges,  
and an eventual failure of the security system.  
1. RED: (12 Volt Positive Input)  
Connect the Red wire of the siren to Positive  
post of the battery using the 5/16" ID ring ter-  
minal as shown. If your vehicle has side mount  
main battery terminals, it will be necessary to  
locate an alternate + 12 volt constant source.

switched to the “OFF” position (radio or wiper  
fuse).  
After you have located a suitable fuse, switch  
the ignition key to the “ON” position, remove  
the fuse, and probe the contacts where the  
fuse plugs into. One of the contacts will not  
show 12 volts on the logic probe; this is where  
the YELLOW wire will be connected.  
Connection Method A;

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.

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;  
A. Press and hold the arm/disarm button on  
the keychain transmitter for 3 seconds.  
B. The alarm will sound, flash parking lights  
and continue for 60 seconds.
