PoorTransmittingRangeIssues

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

• The condition of the battery in the transmitter.

P. 10 User Guide

Page 11

• 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 affec t range as well; vans in general have an especially poor

range.

• The shape of the roof and A-pillars brings about consi derable radio-freq uency deflection (in this case the signal from the remote control). As a r esult, the directio n in which the vehicl e 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 ra nge; the second bes t performanc e 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.

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

• The operating range will be somewhat low er on ve hicl es equipp ed with an af termark et or f actory

alarm.

• Windows and windshields tinted with lead or metallic tints will decrease the operating range.
