Operating Instructions
Familiarize yourself with the remote control buttons and their corresponding functions.
Basic Operations
- Arming the System (Lock): Press the Arm button once. The vehicle doors will lock, and the alarm system will activate. The remote's LCD will display the armed status.
- Disarming the System (Unlock): Press the Disarm button once. The vehicle doors will unlock, and the alarm system will deactivate. The remote's LCD will display the disarmed status.
- Mute Arm: Press the Mute Arm button (side button) once. The system will arm silently without audible confirmation.
- Remote Trunk Release: Press and hold the Trunk Release button (side button) for approximately 3 seconds. The vehicle's trunk will open. (Note: An additional trunk release solenoid kit may be required for some vehicles, e.g., ASIN: B00N4RP8VM).
- Car Locating / Panic Mode: Press the Car Locating/Panic button (front button, often combined with Arm/Disarm or a separate icon) once to locate your vehicle by flashing lights and chirps. Press and hold for 3 seconds to activate the full panic alarm.
Advanced Features
- Shock Sensor Warning: The system will provide a warning if a light impact is detected. A stronger impact will trigger the full alarm. The remote pager will notify you of the event.
- Ignition, Door, Trunk, ACC, Foot Brake Trigger: The alarm will trigger if any of these points are activated while the system is armed.
- Window Roll-up Automation (Optional): If an additional window closer module is installed (e.g., 4-door window closer ASIN: B00N3RKA8E), the windows can automatically roll up when the system is armed.
- Central Door Locking Automation: The system can be configured to automatically lock doors when the ignition is turned on and unlock when the ignition is turned off.
- Re-arming Automatically: If the system is disarmed but no door is opened within a set time, it will automatically re-arm for added security.
- Siren Pause: During an alarm trigger, you can momentarily pause the siren by pressing a specific button (refer to the full wiring diagram for details).
- Valet Mode: This mode temporarily disables the alarm functions, allowing the vehicle to be serviced without triggering the alarm. To enter/exit Valet Mode, refer to the detailed wiring diagram and user guide.
- Anti-Hijacking: This feature can be activated in an emergency to secure the vehicle. Consult the full user manual for activation and deactivation procedures.
- Emergency Release: In case of remote control loss or malfunction, an emergency override procedure is available. Refer to the detailed user manual for instructions.
Maintenance
- Remote Control Battery: The LCD pager remote control is rechargeable. When the battery indicator on the LCD shows low power, connect the remote to the provided USB charge wire and charge it using a standard USB power source (e.g., car charger, computer USB port).
- Cleaning: Clean the remote control and main unit with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Regular Checks: Periodically test the alarm system's functions (arming, disarming, shock sensor) to ensure it is operating correctly.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your EASYGUARD EC206-A system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Remote control LCD is blank or unresponsive. | Low battery in the remote control. | Recharge the remote control battery using the USB charge wire for approximately 4 hours. |
| Remote control range is shorter than expected. | Environmental interference, obstacles, or low remote battery. | Ensure the remote battery is charged. Move to an open area. Check for strong radio interference sources. Ensure the alarm antenna is properly installed and not obstructed. |
| Alarm triggers without apparent reason. | Shock sensor sensitivity too high, faulty sensor, or wiring issue. | Adjust the shock sensor sensitivity (refer to installation guide). Check sensor wiring. If the problem persists, consult a professional installer. |
| Keyless entry not working. | Wiring issue, faulty central locking module, or remote battery. | Check remote battery. Verify all wiring connections for the central locking system. Consult a professional installer. |
| Trunk release not functioning. | Missing or faulty trunk release solenoid kit, wiring issue. | Confirm if an additional trunk release solenoid kit is installed and functioning. Check wiring connections. |
