2. Safety Information and Important Notes

• Professional Installation Required: Installation of this car alarm system requires specialized knowledge and tools. It is strongly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional car alarm installer. Improper installation can lead to vehicle damage or system malfunction.
• Battery Requirement: The remote control requires AAA batteries, which are not included in the package. Please ensure you have these readily available for operation.
