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.

• 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 vehicle itself.

• The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well (vans in general have less range).

• The shape of the roof and A-pill ars brings about consid erable radio-frequenc y deflection (in this

case the signal from the remote control). As a result, the directi on in which the vehicle is facing in relation to the remote control c a n a ffec t th e ra nge. Straight on (standing in front of the vehicle) generally gives you the greatest ran ge; the second best performance is from th e b ac k . Us ing th e 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.

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