IMPORTANT! Note that this manual describes remote and manual functions
for the most part. Functionality of the system is vast and would require a
book-sized manual to fully describe. Instead we use handy software named
AlarmStudio that functions as both programming tool and an extended
installation & functionality manual. It requires Windows and can be
downloaded at pandorainfo.com
This device has limited external factors resistance. It should not be subjected to
water beyond occasional splatter, or operated in temperatures outside -40° to +80° C
range.

Remote and automatic start can only be used when the system is armed.
If the car has manual transmission, remote or automatic start will only occur if
programmed neutral procedure was followed when the car was arming.
Remote and automatic engine start on automatic transmission cars will only
occur, if transmission selector lever was left in a «P» position.
When using remote and automatic engine start functions, make sure that the
car is secured with handbrake or some other means of fixating the car on a parking
position.
While system is in remote and automatic start mode, it keeps performing
