Troubleshooting Transmitting Range
Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are:
• The condition of the battery in the transmitter.
• 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 especia lly poor
range.
• The shape of the roof a nd A-pillars brings about cons iderable radio-freq uency deflection (i n this
case the signal from the remote control). As a result, the direction in whic h 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 ran ge; the second b est perfo rmance is from the bac k.
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.
User Guide P. 13
• 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 ran ge will be somew hat low er on ve hicl es equ ipped wi th an af term arket or f actory
alarm.
