Default Locking a '90 Base C4 without setting the alarm

How do I lock my 1990 C4, without activating the alarm system? The alarm system is kinda sketchy and has gone off in the middle of the night, for no reason whatsoever. I know I've read how to do it somewhere, but it's been a while since I've had Kit outside in the driveway.

Lock the doors with the MANUAL slider. SECURITY light will still be flashing, indicating "not armed". Close the door(s). Alarm is not armed, but doors are locked.
