FACT™- False Alarm Control and Test With FACT, you'll never experience repeated false alarms. If the Insignia Siren goes off, DO NOT remotely disarm the system; allow it to run for the full siren duration. Before sounding the siren a second time, the system automatically checks for another activated trigger to verify that an intrusion is in progress. Should the siren sound again, you will know for sure that someone is tampering with your vehicle. (To disable FACT, see User-selectable features on pages 17-18.)

FACT™— False Alarm Control and Test
With FACT, you’ll never experience repeated false alarms. If the Insignia Siren
goes off, DO NOT remotely disarm the system; allow it to run for the full siren
duration. Before sounding the siren a second time, the system automatically checks
for another activated trigger to verify that an intrusion is in progress. Should the
siren sound again, you will know for sure that someone is tampering with your
vehicle. (To disable FACT, see
User-selectable features
on pages 17-18.)
How to interpret the LED status indicator
The LED on your car’s dashboard or console will inform you of the system status:
High-output Insignia™ Siren
All the siren electronics are in the system control unit rather than the siren itself.
This protects them from heat, dirt and exposure to the elements (other alarm
companies’ sirens are far more susceptible to failure). Your SuperNova II also
provides these additional features:
Long-term chirp silencing:
Whenever you wish, you may silence your
SuperNova II’s arm and disarm chirps until you decide to restore them. The
parking light flashes will continue to provide visual confirmation of remote
controlled arming and disarming. See
User-selectable features
on pages 17-18.
Remote controlled chirp muting:
Remote controlled chirp muting capabilities
are especially valuable when parking late at night in a quiet residential area or
any other time when you want to arm or disarm silently. To arm or disarm
silently, simply press button 3 on your remote control instead of the usual
button 1.
Siren duration:
When the system detects an intrusion attempt, the alarm is set
to sound for 30 seconds. However, if you prefer, you may change it to 60
seconds. See the
User-selectable features
section on pages 17-18.
