Entry Gate Reminders Remember to change the battery in your transponder. No tailgating through the gate. Tailgating may result in damages to the vehicle if the gate arms hit it. Leave room for the person in front of you to back up if necessary. If you have a guest coming in with you in a separate vehicle, after the gate attendants are off duty, use your transponder or gate code to allow them access first and then use it for yourself. If your vehicle knocks off the gate arms, please notify the Lodge front desk or a gate attendant so staff can avoid reviewing the surveillance footage and investigating the incident. Trying to "beat" the gate arm and follow another vehicle through the gate may result in damage to the vehicle and the Association assumes no liability for this damage. Please be courteous and wait for your turn to enter the gates. If a vehicle damages the gates or gate arms, the Association will identify the owner of the vehicle (by use of the video surveillance) and seek reimbursement for damages. It is recommended you mount your transponder in the vehicle's front window, either behind the mirror, in the top left corner or bottom left corner (from the driver's seat position). The receiver is located near the gate and will best "read" your transponder if it is mounted in one of these locations. It has been noted that many residents hold their transponder out the window of their vehicle and wave it around. This does not help the signal to be read. The transponder must be placed in a horizontal position with the logo facing the driver and the back of the transponder facing the receiver. Additional Velcro to stick your transponder to the window can be picked up from the Lodge front desk. If you need to remove your transponder from your vehicle then just peel apart the Velcro. As a reminder, residents should replace the battery in their transponder occasionally or if they are experiencing difficulty in getting a signal at the receiver. The transponder back slides open, remove the existing battery in the metal clip and replace with a new 3-volt CR2032 lithium style battery. You may need to use a pointed object to push the battery out of the clip to remove it. Do not touch or damage any of the other component parts. The new battery should be inserted with the positive (+) side up. Keep in mind that the transponder is an electronic device and should damage occur or component parts go bad, a new transponder may be needed. Replacement transponders are sold at the Lodge office for $50 each. ~ Lisa Lynn Community News | FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | AUGUST 2013 9
