Troubleshooting Poor Transmitting Range

• Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are:

• The condition of the battery in the transmitter.

• The operating environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency noise, airports, cellular

phone towers…)

• Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the metal in the car.

• The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well; vans in general have an especially poor

range.

• The shape of the roof and A-pillars brings about considerable radio-frequency deflection (in this

case the signal from the remote control). As a result, the direction in which the vehicle is facing

in relation to the remote control can affect the range. Straight on – standing in front of the

vehicle – generally gives you the greatest range; the second best performance is from the back.

Using the remote control from either side of the vehicle will usually give the lowest range.

• The range will be significantly lower in a crowded parking lot than in open space.

• Always hold the transmitter high, approximately at shoulder height. Holding the transmitter

against your chin will also increase your range: your head acts as an antenna.

• The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or factory

alarm.

Using the Remote Control

The transmitter offers several command-confirmation and timer features. This section

explains some of the key transmitter functions that are available. The following section

gives a summary of the button combinations used to access those functions.

Note:

If you wish to exit a function while still in the process of accessing it, simply stop and wait for at

least 10 seconds: the transmitter will return to its normal state.
