Thank you for choosing a system from the AVS 3010
car alarm range. This range has been designed to
provide reliable security and functionality for you and
your vehicle. Please read this guide carefully and keep
it in a safe place for future reference.
Remote controls
Two remote controls are supplied and are used to control the system
functions. The remotes have rolling codes (4 billion) to foil code-
grabbing devices. The remotes are also waterproof in normal use
conditions.
REMOTE BATTERIES
Each remote is fitted with CR1616 x 2 long life Lithium batteries.
Replacement batteries are available from avscarsecurity.com, electrical
retailers or AVS dealers.
REPLACE THE REMOTE BATTERIES IF:
1. The remote range begins to decrease.
2. The remote’s LED flashes when a button is pressed and held.
NOTE: Like any electrical device the remotes contain sensitive
components that are easily damaged or broken, especially if dropped.
They are expensive to replace so please take care of them.

How to use PIN code for emergency disarm
Emergency disarm/PIN code override
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ
Emergency disarm allows you to override the system if the remotes
are lost or broken (or the remote batteries are flat) so you can start
the car.
1. Open the driver’s door. The siren will sound.
2. Enter the car and close the door. If your car has interior light delay,
wait until the light fades out.
3. Within 30 seconds turn the ignition from OFF to ON and back to OFF
the number of times for your PIN code (5 times for the factory code)
and leave in the OFF position.
4. Wait 30 seconds until the siren stops. If the code is correct the
alarm will disarm. If the alarm does not disarm the code was
entered incorrectly. Start again from 1.
The code can be set to any number between 5 and 15. We recommend
you ask your AVS installer to change it from the factory code to a
number you choose to enhance the security of the system. Please note
that if the code is changed you must make a careful note of the new
PIN code as you will have the only record of it.

Additional AVS 3010+ features
SHOCK SENSOR
The AVS 3010+ comes with a dual stage shock sensor. If the sensor
detects a light impact to the vehicle the alarm will chirp the siren and
flash the indicators three times. If the sensor detects a heavy impact the
alarm will enter full alarm mode.
Disable the shock sensor
The shock sensor can be temporarily turned off.
1. Arm the alarm by pressing the button.
2. Press the button on the remote again within two seconds.
3. The siren will give a long chirp. The shock sensor is now disabled.
4. The next time the alarm is armed the shock sensor will automatically
turn back on.
BATTERY BACK-UP SIREN
The AVS 3010+ siren has its own battery and charging system so it
will continue to sound if power is cut to it from the car. The siren is
supplied with two keys for the key switch on the top of the siren.
If you need to disconnect your vehicle’s battery the siren will need to
be turned off with the key switch before disconnecting the battery.
Remember to turn it back on when the battery is reconnected!

Optional features
Optional features are dependent on the systems already in your vehicle.
Not all features are available on all vehicles. Some features may require
additional parts and/or additional installation charges. Features are subject
to change. Please check with your AVS installer.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I purchase a new remote or a new remote case?
These are available from avscarsecurity.com or your AVS dealer.
Why is the remote range getting shorter?
The remote batteries are going flat. You can purchase new batteries online
at avscarsecurity.com, from your local AVS dealer or good electrical retailers
(Model: CR1616 x 2 per remote).
I have lost/damaged my remotes. How do I start the car?
You can disarm the system by using the emergency disarm/PIN code override
(AVS 3010+ and AVS 3010).
My alarm chirps more than once when I arm the system?
The system is warning you that a door or bonnet/boot is open. Disarm the
system, correct the problem and start again.
I disarmed the system a few minutes ago but now it is armed again?
It is most likely the system recognised you did not enter the car so it has
automatically re-armed. This feature can be turned off by your AVS installer.
The system disarms and the dash lights are working but the car won‘t start?
There is a clicking sound when I try to turn on the car but it won’t start?
This is often an indicator of a flat car battery. The system draws such a small
amount of power the system can be armed and disarmed (just like you can still
see the dash lights) but the car does not have enough power to start. You will
need to replace or recharge the car battery.
Note: if jump-starting the car please use protected jumper leads as failure
to do so can do irreparable damage to the alarm system and your car’s
computer system and will void your car alarm warranty.
I’m worried the alarm will drain the car battery?
The alarm has been designed to draw as small an amount of current from
your car battery as possible (<20mA). As long as the car’s battery is in good
condition the system should not adversely affect it if left unattended for up to
three weeks approximately.
