Security-service system Pandora Light
Preparing to program the system using a computer
The system allows programming all settings and updating software of the base unit via a micro-USB
cable. If the base unit has not been installed in the vehicle yet, it will be powered via a micro-USB cable
while programming. To program using a computer, you need a standard USB cable, a computer with
the Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10 and the Pandora Alarm Studio application (you can download it from
pandorainfo.com).
It is required to create an account in the Alarm Studio to use the Pandora CLONE for the remote
engine start (you can register without a connection to a system). The Pandora CLONE procedure
requires an Internet connection.
In preparation to programming, the following steps should be followed:
• Connect the system with a PC using a USB cable;
• Run the Pandora Alarm Studio
• Enter the programming menu by entering the service PIN-code.
• The application will automatically find the system.
Updating firmware
It is recommended to update firmware of the base unit before installing and programming the
system. You can update firmware using the Alarm Studio application after entering programming
mode or using quick boot algorithm (the PIN-code is not required).
Quick boot mode: open the Alarm Studio; de-energize and disconnect the system; press and
hold the VALET button located on the base unit; release the button immediately after connecting the
system and a computer via USB cable; the system will enter boot mode.
ATTENTION! If the boot mode has been interrupted for some reason and the status
indicator lights red, you need to load firmware using quick boot mode (without
entering the PIN-code).
Programming using the VALET button
The system allows programming some settings using the VALET button. To configure all settings use
a computer to program the system.
Enter the programming mode by entering the “Service PIN-code”, Use the VALET button to enter the
desired level number (press the button a number of times, equals to the level number; pauses between
presses should not exceed 1 second). The system will confirm correct input with red LED flashes and
short sound signals of a siren and proceed to the desired level. If the input was incorrect, the system will
not confirm input and will await a new level input after a series of green and red flashes.
