BATTERIES
Whenever batteries need to be replaced, the
Dolphin will blink twice with every key press.
Simply replace the batteries and the remote will be
restored to its full functionality, complete with your
favorite settings.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
1. On the back of the Dolphin, remove the screws
that hold the battery cover in place and lift off
the battery cover.

3. Press the battery cover back into place, being
careful to align the rubber seal.

SPA ADDRESSING
The Dolphin II technology is capable of eliminating
interference that may occur when neighboring spa
owners use Dolphin remotes.
Important: This feature will not function if your
spa is controlled by RF via the Command Center,
or if your spa is controlled by IR.
1. If you notice the pumps, blower or light on
your spa operating when your neighbor uses his
Dolphin remote, check your spa manual to see
if this feature is available on your system.
If so, follow the procedure described in your
spa manual to enter a spa address into your spa.
2 After entering the spa address into the spa, you
are now ready to enter a set up code into the
Dolphin Remote.
3. Press the SPA button on the Dolphin once
