The ROW Alarm System differs significantly from the US Market version. For one thing, you have a separate back-up battery for the Alarm. This is where the power is coming from for it to sound.
If you recharge the Car Battery, the Alarm will be able to reset. You can also disable the Back-up battery and the Alarm will cease to function until the Car Battery is reconnected.
If you drive the Car this seldom, a trickle charger is recommended to both keep the Alarm from going Haywire, but also to preserve the health of your Car Battery. There is a constant draw of approx. 20 mA on the Battery when the Car is off, Ignition Key removed. This is for the Alarm, Radio Presets, DME settings, etc. In a relatively short period, this can run the Battery Charge down.
Studies have revealed that a Battery can lose up to 15% of it's ability to hold a charge, each time it is allowed to run down. This loss is permanent and so with each rundown, the Battery is more easily rundown the next time. This is why regular running or the use of a trickle charger/maintainer is recommended. Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
