If your EVO-ALL or EVO-ONE system was not purchased from MPC, you might require a FlashLink Updater to configure the module for compatibility with this remote kit. Systems purchased directly from MPC typically come pre-configured.

4. Manutenzione e cura

Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your MPC remote and antenna kit.

• Pulizia: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the remotes and antenna. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic and electronic components.
• Condizioni ambientali: Avoid exposing the remotes and antenna to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or high humidity. Do not submerge the remotes in water.
• Protezione dagli impatti: Protect the remotes from drops and impacts, which can damage internal circuitry or the casing.
• Sostituzione della batteria: The remotes are powered by internal batteries. If the range decreases significantly or the remote stops responding, the batteries may need replacement. Refer to the remote's specific model for battery type and replacement instructions. Typically, a small screwdriver is needed to open the remote casing.
• Posizionamento dell'antenna: Ensure the antenna remains securely mounted and its wire is not pinched or damaged, as this can affect signal range.

5. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter issues with your MPC remote and antenna kit, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Il telecomando non risponde:
  • Controllare la batteria del telecomando. Sostituirla se necessario.
  • Ensure you are within the operational range (up to 3,000 ft) and there are no significant obstructions between the remote and the vehicle.
  • Attempt to re-pair the remotes with your Fortin EVO-ALL or EVO-ONE module. Refer to the Fortin module's manual for pairing procedures.
• Portata ridotta:
  • Verify the antenna is securely connected and properly positioned, away from metal interference.
  • Check the remote's battery level. A low battery can significantly reduce range.
  • Environmental factors such as large buildings, hills, or strong radio interference can affect range.
• Functions Not Working (e.g., Trunk Release):
  • Ensure the specific function is enabled and properly configured in your Fortin EVO-ALL or EVO-ONE module. Some auxiliary functions require specific vehicle wiring or module programming.
• Compatibility Issues (if not purchased from MPC):
  • If your Fortin EVO-ALL or EVO-ONE module was not purchased from MPC, you may need a Fortin FlashLink Updater to ensure the module's firmware and settings are compatible with this remote kit. Contact MPC Technical Support for guidance.
