channel) or 4 channels (one button per channel).
Any use other than the one described above may damage the
product and cause other dangers.
Please read these operating instructions thoroughly and care-
fully, as they contain important information on operating and
handling the product.

5. Information on batteries/rechargeable batteries
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Make sure that the polarity is correct when inserting the button cell (pay
attention to positive and negative pole).
• Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around as they
could be swallowed by children or pets. In such case seek immediate
medical care.
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries may cause acid
burns, if they come into contact with skin. Therefore, please make sure
you use suitable protective gloves.
• Make sure that batteries/rechargeable batteries are not short-circuited,
taken apart or thrown into fire. They might explode!
• Conventional batteries must not be recharged. They might explode!
• If the device is not used for a longer period of time (for example, when
stored), remove the battery to prevent it from leaking and causing
damage.

6. Inserting the battery, replacing the battery
• Open the battery compartment on the rear by turning the battery
compartment cover clockwise slightly using a coin (the arrows are in
the ‘open’ position).
• Insert a ‘CR2016’ lithium button battery, observing the correct polarity.
The plus (‘+’) pole has to point outwards towards you.
• Replace the battery compartment cover and close it by turning it
anticlockwise (position ‘closed’).
• If the LED on the front side of the hand-held transmitter does not light
up when you press the buttons or you find that the range of the hand-
held transmitter decreases, then you need to replace the old battery
with a new one.
Please also see section 8. d).

8. Operation
Please note:
In the delivery state the components of the FS20 wireless
control system do not respond to remote control commands.
They must first be addressed according to the instructions
provided in the respective device’s user manual. The setting
of the basic functions is then possible.
a) Basic functions (2-channel operation)
Buttons are pressed quickly (to switch) or longer than 0.4 seconds (to dim).
Right button (2or 4):
Quick press: ‘On’
Long press (>0.4 sec): ‘Dim up’
Left button (1or 3):
Quick press: ‘Off’
Long press (>0.4 sec): ‘Dim down’
The control indicator/LED (A) briefly lights up to signal that a command has
been transmitted.
Now you can program and operate the basic functions of the
FS20 wireless control system components.
Also read the following subsections, if you require an ex-
tended system with several components or you wish to use the
additional functions.

b) Using several transmitters
In the delivery state each transmitter in the FS20 wireless control system
has its own, randomly set house code.
If you want to jointly control one or several receivers via different transmit-
ters, you first need to coordinate the transmitters’ house codes.
The same house code must be set for each transmitter, as
described in section 11.
This must be set before programming the receivers for the
first time, as the associated house code is also sent to the
receiver during this procedure.
The transmitters’ channels are already set to the same addresses and only
need to be changed, if required (see sections 5 and 6).
c) Timer functions (2-channel operation)
In order to program a receiver’s timer function you must simultaneously
press the button combination that has been assigned to the receiver for
between 1 and 5 seconds (1 sec to 5 sec) on the hand-held transmitter.
This button combination is used to start as well as to stop the
programming of the timer. For information on how to program
the timer, see the instructions in the receiver’s user manual.
