Troubleshooting Poor Transmitting Range

Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are:
x
The condition of the battery in the transmitter.
x
The operating environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency noise, airports, cellular
phone towers...)
x
Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the metal in the car.
x
The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well; vans in general have an especially poor
range.
x
The shape of the roof in 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.
x
The range will be significantly lower in a crowded parking lot than in open space.
x
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.
x
The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or
factory alarm.
