TroubleshootingPoorTransmittingRange
Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are:
• The condition of the battery in the transmitter.
• The operati ng environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency nois e, airports, cellular
phone towers…).
• Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the metal in the car.
• The shape o f the vehicle can affect range as well; vans in genera l have an especially poor
range.
• The shape of th e roof and A-pillars brings about considerable radio-frequency defl ection (in
this case the signal from the remote control). As a res ult, the direction in which the vehicl e is
facing in relation to the remote control c an affect the range. Straigh t on – standing in front of
the vehicle – generally gives you the great es t rang e; th e s ec ond bes t 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.
