Technical Specification

Product overview

Charge the product

First time using, plug device in the 12–24V cigarette socket to power on the device. Charge the device for 3–4hours before using it. You can also use an external charger* (*not included) to charge the device.

Note: In some cars the cigarette lighter socket is off power when the engine of the car is not started. So please start your car to power the cigarette lighter socket.

Get started

After inserting to the cigartte lighter socket, three operations will happen at the same time:

1. After inserting the device there is a short "beep". The device is ready for operation and can receive the command from the remote control.
2. You have to pair the device with the included remote control once to be sure that the remote control is only paired with your car alarm. This is only possible in the first 5 seconds after you plugged the device into the cigarette lighter socket. Press the button on the remote control shortly until you here 4x "beep". Now the remote control is paired with your car alarm.

Each additional remote control is paired exactly the same way.

3. The red light of the device inside the dome turns on. It indicates the battery is charging (Charging current 65mA). The red light will turn off when the device is fully charged.

Remote Control & Functions

Activate (Arm)

The PIR sensor can be activated by pressing the remote control button shortly.

Once the PIR sensor is activated, it takes about 5 seconds until the device is armed. When armed the blue light flashes every 5 seconds. After human action is detected, blue light flashes quickly each second and the siren is noising loudly. When the alarm will work continuous for two minutes (working current under alarm status is 26mA)

Deactivate (Disarm)

To deactivate the PIR sensor and turn off the alarm sound, press the button on the remote control shortly.

You will hear 2x short "beep" and the blue light stops flashing. The max. distance to disarm the device before getting back into the car is ~8m on open field.

Shut OFF device

If you press the remote control button long (3-4 seconds) you will hear one short "beep", and one long "beep" sound.

After that the device's battery is turned off. Not just the PIR sensor is shut off, the whole device is shut off for long time no use or for transportation.

All indicator turn off, except the charging indicator (red) when the device is still plugged into an active cigarette lighter socket.

The device can only be activated/armed when you plug it into the cigarette lighter socket again, or as soon as the cigarette lighter socket gives a new charge impuls to the device. The remote control is not working when device is shut off.

Note:

• It is possible to operate the remote control from outside the closed car through the window.
• The remote control gives an acoustic and a visual feedback by pressing the button

USB charger function

If the device is powered from a car cigarette lighter socket, you can connect the USB charger port to your mobile phone with a USB cable* (*not included). The device now is working as mobile phone charger. It is also possible to charge other devices via USB.

Note: Maximum output of USB is 2x 1A.

Dual Mode

If you have two car alarms you can handle them with one remote control. No need to take two remote controls with you. For example you can store one car alarm in the luggage compartment and the other car alarm in the centre console in the front of the car.

But before installing you have to pair both devices with the remote control. That needs to be done by inserting both devices at the same time to cigarette lighter socket.

Now both devices are for 5 seconds in pairing mode. Press the button on the remote control for pairing both devices with the remote control. 4x "beep" will confirm the pairing. For pairing also look under Get started point 2.

Attention: You cannot pair the devices one after another. It is necessary to plug the devices in at the same time to use one remote control.

Change remote control battery

When the remote control does not feedback with acoustic or visual behavior after pressing the button, change the battery (CR2032).

For changing the battery use a coin to open the battery compartment. Turn the cover on the backside of the remote control left to open and right to close. Insert the battery. After inserting you should see the "plus" pole of the battery. Now close the compartment.

Troubleshooting

→ First remove the small plastic strip on the back of the remote control.

The device could not be paired

→ If pairing fails for the first 5 seconds, unplug the device from the cigarette lighter socket, plug it in again and press the button on the remote control to pair.

Note: During the first 5 seconds right after plugging the device into the cigarette lighter socket, it is always possible to pair a remote control.
