New owner of a 2002 Boxster S- should it beep?

If it helps...
My 2004 base beeps when I hit the lock button twice (always) followed by the red dash light glowing solidly for 20-30 sec. I always assumed that this was setting the alarm.

I also just purchased the porsche so I am just figuring things out as well. Perhaps assuming too much along the way.

I think that means you just turned off the motion detectors. On my 2000 base one press locks the doors and arms the alarm. There is no beep.
