Code Hopping
Explained
The receiver and transmitters each use a mathematical formula called an
algorithm to change their code each time the transmitter is used. This technology
has been developed to increase the security of the unit. The control unit
knows what the next codes should be. This helps to keep the transmitter “in
sync” with the control unit even if you use the remote control out of range of
the vehicle. However, if the transmitter has been pressed many times out of
range of the vehicle, or the battery has been removed, it may get out of sync
with the control unit and fail to operate the system.To re-sync the remote control
simply press the arm/disarm button of the remote control several times within
range of the vehicle. The alarm will automatically re-sync and respond to the
transmitters normally.
High Frequency
Your system transmits and receives at 434 MHz. This provides a cleaner
spectrum with less interference and a more stable signal. Enjoy a phenomenal
increase in range - even in areas with high radio interference.
Owner Recognition
Owner Recognition is a revolutionary new feature available only from DEI
®
.
Using a personal computer, your dealer can program many of the system settings.
The computer makes it possible to program different settings for each transmitter
that is used with the system. Then, whenever a specific transmitter is used,
the system will recall the settings assigned to that transmitter. Owner Recognition
lets up to four users of the system have different settings that meet their specific
needs. It is almost like having four separate alarms in your vehicle, one for
each user.
NOTE: Owner Recognition cannot be programmed without a personal computer and the necessary software.
Check with your dealer for more information.
