Poor
Transmitting
Range
Issues
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.
•
The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or factory
alarm.
•
Windows and windshields tinted with lead or metallic tints will decrease the operating range.
