You adjust it through the menu of the owners manual. Do you wiat for one minute(after arming the alarm) before opening the door? As this will give it enuff time to set up if not then it will not see the door open if you just open it right after arming it. I don't think they can break in that fast.

I think it is still 90 seconds to "Arm"
