Horn sounds when connecting new battery

My 2002 Camry needed a new battery, which I purchased just now. Upon
connecting it, the horn sounds continuously. I guess it's a security feature
or something, but I bought it used without an owner's manual. Does anyone
know how to disable or suppress the horn at battery reconnect?

You'd think toyota.com would let you download PDFs of the manual for free,
but nooo. What few online pubs they have say to refer to your owner's
manual.

Thanks,

Bill Le May

You might want to find the horn fuse and pull it.

If its the OEM Fujitsu 10 VIP alarm - you can do a fax-back from them for
the manual. You have the keyless entry fobs? Do a search on the newsgroup
for the fax-back number. - I've posted it several times.

Put the key in the ignition, turn it on then off.

Or use the remote to unlock / lock / unlock the doors.

No matter what happens, someone will find a way to take it too
seriously.
