Entering A Throttle ID Number
Before using a throttle, a unique ID number must be programmed into the throttle. There
are two groups of IDs. Group 1 is ID 1 through 8 and Group 2 is ID 9 through 16. Your
wireless receiver software dictates which group ID can be used. All RF1300 throttles have
a factory default of ID 1. To change it, follow these steps. An incorrect ID will
illuminate the CD light. If this occurs, reset the ID to one within the allowed
group. The receiver's rear label shows its group.
Turn On Throttle First!

remains on. This means the throttle is ready for use.
