WARNING
It is the responsibility of the vehicle operator to ensure their vehicle is parked
in a safe and responsible manner.
1. a) Manual transmission
: When leaving the vehicle, it is the user’s responsibility
to ensure that the gearshift lever is in the NEUTRAL position and the parking
brake is engaged in order to avoid accidents upon remote starting.
b) Automatic transmission
: When leaving the vehicle, it is the user’s
responsibility to ensure that the gearshift lever is in “Park” in order to avoid
accidents upon remote starting.
(Note: Make sure that the automatic vehicle cannot start in "Drive".)
2. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the remote starter is disabled or put
into valet mode before servicing.
A note concerning the battery inside the transmitter:
Depending on your usage of the transmitter, the battery can last anywhere between 3 to 6 months. When the
battery is low, the transmitter will produce two beeps in a repetitive cycle. At that point you should replace
your battery with a new one. That is why we recommend that you keep a spare battery somewhere handy
such as the glove compartment.

TroubleshootingTransmittingRange
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 ab out considerable rad io-frequency deflec tion (in this
case the signal from the remote cont rol). As a result, the dir ection in which th e vehicle is fac ing
in relation to the remote control can affect the range. Straight on – standing in front of the
vehicle – generally gives you the gr eatest ra nge; the second best p erformance 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. Holding the transmitter
against your chin will also increase your range: your head acts as an antenna.
• The operating range will be somew hat low er on ve hicl es equ ipped wi th an af term arket or f actory
alarm.
