REPLACE
You can replace a registered transmitter with another transmitter without having access to the receiver.
This process requires an (octal+1)* code. This number should be on a label under the rubber cover. If this
label is not present or obscured, you can determine this number with the help of a computer calculator.
Once your calculator is open, from the top menu bar select view, and then select programming. On the
right side of the window you will see several choices for representation, hex, dec, oct, and bin. Select
decimal. Now enter your transmitter’s serial number, located on the battery cover or on the circuit board
right under the battery cover. Now select the oct function from your calculator and your serial number will
transfer to octal code. Now add 1 to each digit to reach the (octal+1)* code.
For instance, if you enter 19659489, 112775341 would be your octal code. Adding one to each digit and
223886452 would be your (octal+1)* code.
