AIRWOLF features
Provides easy-to-use menu-driven user interface that allows
the user to easily change options.
Immediately displays the status of vehicle to the hand held transceiver through the
LCD display and the tones of the remote control.
Displays signal sensitivity between the vehicle and the remote control by using
a 4-step signal sensitivity antenna.
Has detailed time configuration in all menus to customize user
preferences as well as aid the installer.
Displays the current vehicle status on the LCD when an alarm occurs. Also different
tones are produces for each individual alarm state to the remote control.
Saves all custom configurations even if power is lost. Re-setting features is
not needed after replacing batteries.
Notifies by tone if the vehicle 'out of range' from the remote control.
Utilizes advanced code hopping technology.
Code hopping technology offers the most advanced protection available against
"code-grabbing" devices that thieves may use to record the digital code transmitted
by your remote control. When you leave the area, a thief can then play back the
code to start or stop your system. The remote control of AIRWOLF randomly
changes the code every time you use it by using the code hopping technology, and
makes code-grabbing devices useless.
