Technology?

SH

" technology uses Manchester decoding, along with advanced custom data filters, to help 

reduce data-bit transfer errors. This filtering mechanism minimizes dropped commands by the 
transceiver and develops more reliable range. By using narrow band filtering and unique software 
driven noise filters, the radio set is able to achieve much better input sensitivity resulting in up to 
2,000 feet of operating range.

When leaving the vehicle it is recommended to preset the accessory controls in preparation for the 
next remote start. Settings for the blower motor (fan), front and rear, should not be left on HIGH. It 
is recommended to leave the settings on LOW or MEDIUM instead.

Headlights

 

Certain vehicles require the radio and / or windshield wiper and / or headlight circuits to become 
energized while running under remote start. When leaving the vehicle you must ensure that the 
windshield wiper and headlight switches are OFF. Leaving the headlight switch ON on certain 
types of vehicles could cause them to remain ON even after remote starter shut down, resulting in 
a dead battery.
