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 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 about considerable radio-frequency deflection (in this
case the signal from the remote control). As a result, the direction in which the vehicle 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 range; the second best 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.
Intrusion Codes through the LED Light
If there has been an intrusion in the vehicle while it was locked and armed, the LED will provide an
intrusion code matching the type of the intrusion that took place. Disarm the alarm (
identify the intrusion. The LED intrusion codes are flashed in continuous loops:
2 x = Doors intrusion
3 x = Shock Sense
4 x = Hood
The alarm diagnostic by LED projects a LED flash sequence immediately after disarming and will
remain in that state of alarm memory until the ignition is turned ON.
