It works best if you hold the fob under your chin and open your mouth in the direction you're aiming!

I swear these comments look more and more like a ploy to make me look stupid in public

For maximum effectiveness, open your mouth and make a "BONG" noise. It's literally the same technology as a radar detector.

Also works better if you spread your arms and hold the fob with your chin

Closing your eyes and assuming an earth bending position like Toph helps too. Bonus points if you make your feet stomp the ground.

And then point your left leg towards the sky for extra spread
