5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Arming the Alarm

5.2 Disarming the Alarm
- To disarm the alarm, press the unlock button on your remote control. The siren will emit two chirps, and the system will exit armed mode.
5.3 Vibration Sensor Function

6. Maintenance
To ensure the continued reliable operation of your VJOYCAR Wireless Car Alarm System, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Keep Connections Clean: Periodically inspect the battery connections for corrosion. Clean them if necessary to ensure good electrical contact.
- Remote Control Battery: If the remote control's range decreases or it becomes unresponsive, the battery may need replacement. Refer to the remote's casing for battery type and replacement instructions.
- Siren Unit Placement: Ensure the siren unit remains securely mounted and free from debris or obstructions that could affect its sound output or vibration detection.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your VJOYCAR Wireless Car Alarm System, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Alarm Triggers Falsely:
- The vibration sensor sensitivity might be set too high. While there isn't an external adjustment dial on this model, ensure the siren is mounted securely and not in a location prone to excessive vibrations from the car itself (e.g., loose panels).
- Environmental factors like strong winds or heavy vehicles passing by can sometimes trigger sensitive alarms.
- Remote Control Not Working:
- Check the battery in the remote control and replace it if necessary.
- Ensure you are within the effective range of the alarm system.
- Verify that the siren unit is properly connected to the car battery and receiving power.
- Alarm Not Arming/Disarming:
- Confirm the remote control battery is functional.
- Ensure the siren unit's power connections (red and black wires) are secure and making good contact with the car battery terminals.
- Siren is Not Loud Enough:
- Check for any obstructions around the siren's horn.
- Ensure the siren is mounted in a location where its sound is not muffled.
