activating/deactivating alarm siren in '99 V70R? V70-XC70

Is there a trick to enabling or disabling the optional backup siren in the V70's alarm system? The siren is installed, and appears to be connected, but never sounds -- not when the panic button is engaged nor when the alarm is activated (not sure if it's supposed to chirp when the remote is used to lock/unlock the car or not...).

I bought this car used and have gone through the manual and can't find anything about this. Is this siren even supposed to chirp when the remote is used to activate/deactivate the alarm?

Thanks in advance for any insights.
