Out Of Range Notification; Charging The Battery - Viper 5501 Owner's Manual

➤ Out of range notification

If a command is issued from the remote, but the remote is beyond the range
of the vehicle to receive the command, the remote will respond with an out-of
range notification. If this occurs, the out-of-range icon displays on the LCD and
the remote emits an error tones.
Since conditions will vary in different areas (ie: Weather, RF interference, etc)
range may be affected and require you to be closer to the vehicle for successful
transmission.
➤ System maintenance
The system requires no specific maintenance. The 2-way remote contains a
non-replaceable rechargeable battery. When the battery begins to weaken, the
operating range will be reduced.
Your 1-way remote is powered by small coin cell lightweight 3-volt lithium bat-
tery that will last approximately one year under normal use. The 1-way remote
uses one CR2032 cell battery.

➤ Charging the Battery

• Plug in the USB charger (alternately a standard mini USB cable connected
to any standard USB port on any laptop or desktop computer can also be
used (cable not included)).
• The LCD displays "CHARGE" while the battery level bars within the battery
icon flash.
• When charging is complete the LCD then displays "FULL".
Note:
If the battery has been severely discharged all remote functions are dis-
abled for a short charge period. The battery status outline flashes and CHARGE
is displayed on the LCD. Once the battery has accumulated enough charge
for functionality, the LCD icons initialize with a beep sound, the battery status
outline stops flashing and the remote becomes operational while still displaying
CHARGE.
