1. Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your BANVIE 1 Way Car Security Alarm & Keyless Entry System Remote A. This system is designed to enhance vehicle security and convenience with features such as remote arming/disarming, central door locking automation, and anti-hijacking capabilities. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and use to ensure proper function and safety.
2. Product Features
- Arm/Lock: Press the lock button once. The siren will chirp once, flash lights will gleam once, the central door locking system will lock automatically, and power windows will roll up within 30 seconds (if a window closer is installed). After 8 seconds, the LED indicator will gleam, signifying the system is armed and sensors (shock, microwave, side door, hood, ACC) are active.
- Central Door Locking System Automation: Close all doors before driving. Switch the key to the ACC/ON position, then press the footbrake after 5 seconds. Doors will lock automatically. When the key is removed before exiting the car, the doors will unlock automatically.
- Alarming Door/Hood/Engine Protection: In the armed state, if a car door or hood is forced open, or if the engine is started without authorization, the system will trigger an alarm. The siren will emit 6 loud tones, flash lights will gleam, and the car engine will be cut off. The alarm will sound for 60 seconds, then stop automatically and return to the armed state.
- Door Unclosed Reminding: Before driving, if any door is not properly closed and the key is switched to the ACC/ON position, the flash lights will gleam continuously until the door is closed. This warns other drivers and ensures safety.
- Anti-Hijacking: While the car is moving, press the silent button once (flash lights will gleam quickly), then press the lock button twice again to activate anti-hijacking mode. Flash lights will gleam urgently, the siren will chirp, and the engine will be cut off after 40 seconds. To exit anti-hijacking mode, the reset button must be pressed.

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BANVIE car alarm system, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Remote Control Batteries: Replace the CR2 batteries in your remote controls when the range decreases or the LED indicator on the remote dims. Refer to the remote control's casing for battery access.
- Sensor Cleaning: Periodically check and clean the shock and microwave sensors to ensure they are free from dirt, debris, or moisture that could affect their sensitivity.
- Wiring Inspection: Annually inspect all wiring connections for signs of wear, corrosion, or loose connections. Ensure all connections are properly insulated.
- Siren Check: Ensure the siren is free from obstructions and its mounting is secure.
- Avoid Water Exposure: While components are designed for automotive environments, avoid direct high-pressure water exposure to the main unit and sensors during car washes.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your BANVIE car alarm system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- System Not Responding to Remote:
- Check remote control battery.
