Default Security System

How does one arm/disarm the Alarm system on a 81 Just got the horn going the other day and this evening the horn started honking when i shut the car off and then quit after a minute or so .
I am assuming this is the Security System and if I turned it on. I do not know how I acoomplished this feat.

To arm and disarm the factory alarm you turn the key in the door lock the oppisit way of locking and unlocking the door.
I don't remember what the exact proceedure is, but this might help you out to start with. The full instructions are in the owners manual...
