Pandora alarm key fob operating instructions

Modern anti-theft systems produced by the Pandora brand are very popular in the Russian market. This is due to their reliability, functionality and practicality. To figure out how to use such a system, you should study the Pandora alarm device, the operating instructions for the key fob and other operating points.

Identification of symbols and buttons

If we consider the Pandora DXL model, the key fob will have 5 buttons and an informative LCD monitor, where symbols of basic functions are indicated. To understand what these icons mean, you need to study each icon separately and become familiar with the indications.

On the DXL5000 signaling the buttons are designed for the following tasks:

• Enabling security functions.
• Disabling security.
• Switching modes and deactivating the “Panic” option.
• Checking the status.
• Emergency call.

There are a large number of icons on the LCD screen. Their designation is indicated in the operating instructions.

Tracking, monitoring

In order to see your car on the map, on the main control screen, click the button located in the upper right corner.

An electronic map with the car marked on it will be displayed on the screen, as well as the most complete information about its movement status - travel time, track length, speed, fuel level, battery voltage, engine/interior/outside temperature.

To return to the main screen, click on the button located in the upper right corner again.

Key fob programming

The communicator is entered into the microprocessor unit using the “Valet” service button. To configure the remote control, you need to do the following:

1. Disconnect the ignition circuit.
2. Turn on the pager.
3. Find the service button and press it the required number of times, which will correspond to the PIN code.

When you enter 1 digit, you should wait for the light indication and only then enter the next values. Depending on the signaling model, the programming principle may vary. Thus, the DXL3210, DXL3000 and DXL1870i devices are programmed according to the following instructions:

1. Turn off the ignition and press the service button once.
2. Hold down the remaining buttons until a sound or light appears.
3. Wait for the sound to sound once.

Manual

To configure the Pandora alarm without using computer programs, you need to launch the corresponding option using the “Valet” service button. In most cases, recording and resetting the configuration is carried out by sequentially pressing “Valet” and the ignition key. The designation of all symbols and combination of settings are indicated in the instruction manual.

To link a key fob or remote control, you need to perform the following steps:

1. Launch the communicator.
2. Turn off the ignition.
3. Enter the secret code value by pressing the service button (the number of presses depends on the numbers in the code). After this, the indication should blink red. The steps are repeated for all other values. If the entire code is entered correctly, the key fob will emit 2 light alerts, which will confirm that the programming mode has been activated.
4. Next you need to click on “Jack” so that the signal sounds. If you manage to program the system within 20 seconds, the settings will be saved. Otherwise you will have to do everything all over again.
5. The next step is to simultaneously press all 3 buttons on the key fob until a sound alert appears.
6. When the recording is completed, all that remains is to press the service button again to confirm exiting the programming mode.

Computer

Setting up a Pandora alarm using software is also easy. For this purpose, proprietary software Pandora DXL Loader or Pandora Alarm Studio with an intuitive and comfortable interface is used. By going to the system management menu, you can independently set the necessary settings or diagnose the device for breakdowns.

Instructions for using the program are as follows:

1. Connect the device to a personal computer or laptop using a USB cable.
2. To configure autorun, you will need to switch option 2-1.1 to “Enabled” (“Allowed”). According to this principle, the start is activated depending on changes in the on-board network voltage or time interval.
3. Open group 2-1.1 and select a number of additional settings.
4. Save results using the button at the bottom of the screen.

Installation of car alarms with work algorithm

You need to install Pandora in the following order:

1. The car interior is being prepared for installation. The trim of the pillars and the instrument panel are removed. The on-board network is disconnected from the battery.
2. The control unit is fixed behind the “tidy” using screws. They must be properly tightened to avoid rattling and premature failure of the element.
3. The radio module is mounted on the rearview mirror, and the wiring is routed behind the trim. If possible, it is advisable to secure it with ties or special clamps.
4. The “Jack” button is located in the fuse compartment.
5. The main sensors and other attachments are installed. The siren is attached with self-tapping screws under the hood, and the temperature sensor is placed on the engine. If you place it in a different location, the controller will receive distorted data.
6. The alarm system is connected to the central locking (CL). If it is not installed on the car, then you need to purchase it. Without central locking (central locking), it is impossible to configure the correct operation of the equipment.
7. Limit switches are installed on the doors, trunk and hood.

How to enable autorun

To activate the automatic engine start mode on the Pandora alarm key fob, you must carefully study the operating instructions. Sometimes technical concepts and symbols remain unclear to drivers, so in order to simplify setup, beginners can watch training videos and detailed instructions.

Most basic commands are set using the keys on the pager. The principle of autostart is to send an electronic signal from a key fob or mobile application. It is also performed according to a given timer, on-board voltage or temperature indicators inside the cabin. Modern alarms from Pandora use the following option control options:

1. Timer control. The car owner using the system sets the desired time interval, after which the power plant will autostart.
2. Key fob control. The user independently turns on the engine using a communicator without leaving the room.
3. Launch via SMS message. The car owner sends the required command from a mobile phone, which is convenient.
4. Launch via the Internet. The function is convenient for those drivers who are far from their car.

To turn the engine on and off from the pager, you must perform the following steps:

1. Turn off the ignition.
2. Activate security functions.
3. Hold the arm button for 5 seconds.

To deactivate, similar steps are performed.

For Pandora DXL 5000

The Pandora DXL double-sided LCD key fob is equipped with a 112-segment display, a separate button for querying the system status and an emergency call button. There is a mnemonic indicator that reports expiring time periods and setting ranges, a separate icon for controlling the preheater, and an additional digital indicator.

This key fob controls all functions and modes of the telemetric security system, allows you to send GSM emergency notifications, monitor status, view event history, and adjust the sensitivity of external and integrated sensors. The key fob controls the engine start. You only need to configure the parameters for automatic start: period, time, engine start and stop temperature.

• 16 melodies;
• built-in vibration alert;
• clock synchronization via GPS;
• adjusting sensor sensitivity;
• automatic control of communication channels;
• radio transmission power - less than 50 mW;
• detailed instructions for the Pandora keychain;
• 112 segment screen.

By time

To enable automatic start by timer, you need to do the following:

1. While holding down the power button “F”, activate the option with fan indication.
2. By briefly pressing the deactivation button, start the automatic start settings mode.
3. Enable the desired function using “F”.
4. Using the on and off buttons, select the time interval, warm-up duration and other timer parameters.
5. Find the item to confirm and save settings.

Preheating

If your car is equipped with a preheater, you can control it remotely using Pandora Online Pro. To do this, go to the “Settings” - “Preheating” section and activate this function.

You will be asked to configure several parameters: switch-on temperature (from -40 to +40 degrees), operating time (from 10 to 100 minutes) and switch-off temperature (from -40 to +80 degrees). You can also specify whether the pre-heater should be turned off after the engine starts.

Possible problems and their solutions

Like any other gadget, the Pandora alarm key fob often malfunctions. In most cases, they are associated with the inexperience of the car owner and non-compliance with programming rules.

Drivers often encounter this problem when all the settings are set correctly, the power unit starts and warms up at the appropriate temperature value or time interval, but after stopping, the autostart stops functioning. The cause of this problem may be the temperature dropping below the set parameter. As a result, the engine will refuse to start and the user will have to re-tune it. As an additional measure, you should check whether there is a temperature prohibition on starting.

Sometimes the temperature sensor fails. To verify that it is faulty, it is enough to evaluate information about the battery, temperature and internal combustion engine inside the car. Next you need to turn off the power unit by pressing the button 3 short presses. If a higher temperature appears on the screen after the letter E, autostart will not be possible.

Depending on the specifics of the signaling model, restoring the ability to autostart may require a firmware update.

Common problems include the following:

1. After deactivating the security functions, the car, which was started using the autostart method, stalled. Often a breakdown occurs on the 3500 model after the engine has been running for up to 3 minutes.
2. If the siren is deactivated only by the key, but the key fob remains ineffective, this may be due to the alarm being activated during auto start.
3. If the car completely refuses to activate the security mode, it is better to turn off the car alarm and call an experienced specialist. The problems may be related to problems with the device. They also happen when there is a malfunction in the immobilizer bypass.

If configured correctly and the rules for use are followed, the alarm operates without failures or problems.

The Pandora alarm key fob is needed to control the security system and receive alerts from it at a distance. To effectively use the key fob, you need to study the instructions for its use. Instructions for all Pandora alarm key fobs can be found in our article.
