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.
