Introduction Thank you for choosing the AVS 9000 SMS security system. This system is designed to provide an advanced level of security for you and your vehicle with the additional security of two-way SMS (text message) communication. We recommend that you read this guide carefully and keep it in a safe place for future reference.
SIM card set-up Do NOT insert or remove the cellular modem SIM card while the power is on. Ensure power is off and the AVS 9000 is unplugged first. If this has not already been done by the installer (or for any reason...
SMS commands. We recommend that you save it with a meaningful name i.e. AVS 9000 or other so it is instantly recognisable and you are able to take immediate action if you are contacted by the system.
The AVS 9000 will reply to any command SMS sent to it • It will reply to the same phone the command came from The AVS 9000 will identify itself at the start of each SMS. To • change this see AVS 9000 system identification (ID).
By remote Press the bottom button. The indicators will flash once and the siren will chirp once. The doors will lock (if optional central locking installed). The LED light on the dash will light solid for 20 seconds. The LED light will then start flashing. The system is now armed.
By remote Press the bottom button. The indicators will flash and the siren will chirp twice. The doors will unlock (if optional central locking installed). The LED light on the dash will go out. The system is now disarmed. Note: If the siren chirps and the indicators flash four times on disarm the alarm has been triggered while you were away from the vehicle.
Panic/car finder Ensure the car ignition is off. Press the right button on the remote. The indicators will flash and the siren will sound. An SMS will be sent to all the programmed mobile phone numbers (up to five): Example: PANIC ALERT! Cancel panic by pushing the right button again.
Valet mode This mode allows five engine starts before the system returns to its normal operation. Example: if you take the vehicle to valet parking and you normally use auto-immobilisation they will be able to star the car five times before auto immobilisation re-engages.
Dual stage shock sensor If the shock sensor detects a light impact to the vehicle the siren will chirp four times. If it detects a heavy impact it will trigger a full alarm. The sensor can tell the difference between environmental shocks (aircraft, trucks, extreme weather) and other heavy impacts such as a thief attempting to break in.
The PIN code is NOT case sensitive Example: xxxxxx is the same as XXXXXX Stored mobile phone numbers The AVS 9000 can store up to five mobile numbers so that: On alarm trigger an SMS will be sent to all stored numbers •...
Example: 1. NOT USED, 2: 02X XXX XXX, 3: 02X XXX XXX, 4: 02X XXX XXX, 5: NOT USED Note: The AVS 9000 will overwrite any existing number stored in the memory location you specify. To delete a mobile phone number...

There is a clicking sound when I try to start the car? The siren chirps when I crank the engine? This is often an indicator of a flat car battery. The AVS 9000 draws such a small amount of power the system can be armed and disarmed (just like you can still see the dash lights) but the car does not have enough power to start.
