. Battery voltage too low,
. Frequent, repeated operation of
the remote control while not in
range, which will require
resynchronisation,
. Overload of the central locking
system by operating at frequent
intervals, the power supply is
interrupted for a short time,
. Interference from higher-power
radio waves from other sources.
