6Functional description
Fig. 1: Operation example
An optimum signal transmission is achieved in an open area or from elevated
locations. This makes it possible to operate the parking heater at distance of
approximately 1000 m from the vehicle.
When pressing the transmitter, hold it vertically upwards and do not cover the
top (see figure).
If you determine, since there is no feedback, that the operating signal has not
reached the vehicle, it frequently helps to change your location by a few
meters. Reception in built-upareas is limited accordingly.
NOTE
When retrofitting heaters that are installed ex-works, the range of
functions may be limited. Please consult your installation partner about
this.

system to “warm”.
uSet the vehicle fan to the lowest setting (lower power consumption).
NOTE
Depending on the type of vehicle, the air-conditioning system can per-
form these settings automatically or partly autonomously. Ask your
specialist dealer to explain the optimum settings.

14 Battery for hand-held transmitter
ATTENTION
Improper use can cause the batteries to leak, overheat or explode.
uWhen handling the battery, follow all instructions and warnings that
are supplied with or printed on the battery.
uThe battery is not rechargeable therefore never attempt to charge the
battery.
uNever short-circuit the battery.
uNever expose the battery to high heat.
uDo not transport the battery together with metal objects, e.g. neck-
laces or hair pins.
uThe risk of the battery leaking is greatest when the battery is dis-
