DIAGNOSING PROBLEMS
Poor transmitting range
There are many factors that affect operating range. Some of these are:
•
Battery condition
•
Operating environment (Downtown RF noise)
•
Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. Range in a crowded
Parking lot will be significantly lower than open space.
•
Transmitter orientation: always hold the transmitter high; approximately
shoulder height. Holding the transmitter under the chin will improve
performance. Try it!
Engine does not start
If the engine does not start, check the following:
•
Is the transmitter LED working? If not, check the battery .
•
Are you pressing the transmitter long enough? Press the transmitter until
the Parking lights activate.
•
Check the valet switch. When the power is turned ON, the Parking lights
will flash twice to confirm power up.
