General description of the RF transmitter  
The RF remote control system consists of a RF transmitter and a RF receiver 
mounted on a control unit. The RF transmitter is mechanically integrated in 
the head of the key. This transmitter is used to transmit information for locking 
or unlocking the vehicle by a unidirectional RF transmission line for normal 
remote operation by pressing a button. 
In general the following functions are provided: 
-  Lock the car 
-  Unlock the car 
- Unlock the boot lid of the car 
- Approach light 
-  Panic alarm   
Power supply 
The transmitter is provided with 1 lithium battery (CR 2032) that gives a power 
supply of +3V.  
Buttons 
There are five buttons with following functions: 
 Action:  Usage: 
Central locking

Pressing the lock button 
Deactivation of Panic Alarm 
Pressing the lock button for 1,5 sec. Comfort closing 
Central unlocking 
Deactivation of Alarm system 
Pressing the unlock button 
Deactivation of Panic Alarm 
Pressing the unlock button for 1,5 sec. Comfort opening 
Pressing the unlock button twice within 10 sec. Two-step unlocking 
De-/activation of Approach Light 
Deactivation of Panic Alarm 
Pressing the approach light button 
Pressing the approach light button for 1,5 sec.   
Unlocking of Boot lid Pressing the boot lid button Deactivation of Panic Alarm 
Activation of Panic Alarm Pressing the panic button for 3 sec or pressing 
it twice within 3 sec. Deactivation of Panic Alarm 
During activation, the button is forced to the ground via a “pull-up” within the 
microcontroller.

Typical usage pattern (for Europe only) 
10 lock/unlock operations in 24 hours with complete transmission duration of  
1.0 seconds (100ms/operation) 
4 lock/unlock operations in 24 hours with transmission duration of 40 seconds (10 
seconds for 1 operation; max. value) 
→ total transmission duration of 41 seconds within 24 hours 
Transmitter ON  1.7    seconds / hour 
Transmitter OFF 3598.3   seconds / hour 
Duty Cycle: TON / T (ON+OFF)  x 100% = 1.7/ 3600 x 100 % = 0.05 %
