COMMUNICATION - SAFETY - TRANSMITTER - (C/S - T/X)
This remote control has a COMMUNICATION –SAFETY function built into its software to ensure the transmitter and receiver are com-
municating normally.
In all operating modes, the transmitter sends an RF signal every fteen minutes to the receiver indicating that the transmitter is within
the normal operating range of 20-feet. Should the receiver NOT receive this signal, the receiver will begin a 2-hour countdown. If the
receiver does not receive a signal from the transmitter in 2 hours, the receiver will shut off the appliance. The receiver will then emit a
series of rapid “beeps” for a period of 10 seconds. Then after 10 seconds of rapid beeping, the receiver will continue to emit a single
“beep” every 2 seconds until a transmitter MODE Button is pressed to reset the receiver.
