receiver (contact the factory to determine if your receiver is compatible).
4.1.1 IR Configuration Receiver
IR Cfg Recv function allows the transmitter to link to a compatible receiver by using IR (contact the factory
to determine if your receiver is compatible) and automatically set up the channel and access code to
match the linked compatible receiver.
4.1.1.1 IR Configuration Receiver on Transmitters Equipped with Separate Power/Status and
Battery LED Indicators
To utilize the IR configuration receiver function and link to a compatible receiver, push the OFF-ON-
START toggle to the START position and hold for more than 5 seconds. When the transmitter
successfully enters the IR configuration mode, the Power/Status and Battery LED(s) will blink alternately
continuously. After the LEDs are blinking alternately, point the IR window of the transmitter at the desired
receiver to control and momentarily press the OFF-ON-START toggle to the START position and release.
If the link is successful, the LEDs will stop blinking and the transmitter will shut down. The new settings
obtained from the IR configuration function will take effect upon the next power cycle of the transmitter.
If the link is unsuccessful with a compatible receiver, the Power/Status and Battery LED(s) will continue to
blink alternately.
To cancel the IR configuration receiver without a successful link, move the OFF-ON-START toggle to the
OFF position.
4.1.1.2 IR Configuration Receiver on Transmitters Equipped with Single Status/Battery LED
Indicator
To utilize the IR configuration receiver function and link to a compatible receiver, push the OFF-ON-
START toggle to the START position and hold for more than 5 seconds. When the transmitter
successfully enters the IR configuration mode, the Status/Battery LED will blink continuously. After the
LED is blinking, point the IR window of the transmitter at the desired receiver to control and momentarily
press the OFF-ON-START toggle to the START position and release.
If the link is successful, the LED will stop blinking and the transmitter will shut down. The new settings
obtained from the IR configuration function will take effect upon the next power cycle of the transmitter.

4.2 USING THE TRANSMITTER IN SETUP MODE (WITH OPTIONAL
GRAPHIC USER INTERFACE)
NOTE: The Setup Mode is only accessed on transmitters equipped with the optional graphic user
interface. The units equipped with the standard status LED can only have the settings of the transmitter
changed at the factory or by using the optional RCP software.
The Setup Mode can be used to edit configuration settings such as: Access Code, Channel Select, User
Code, Transmitter Time Out, Backlight Time Out, Password Enable, Change Password, and more.
NOTE: Parameter changes will not take effect until the user has selected ‘Save and Exit’ from the Setup
Mode.
4.2.1 Entering Setup Mode
To enter the Setup Mode, first make sure the unit is OFF and the Machine Stop switch is raised. Next,
push the OFF-ON-START toggle switch to the START position and hold it in the START position for more
than 5 seconds until the setup screen appears.
The user will see a prompt for a four digit password if the password feature is enabled. If no password is
enabled, then the adjustments in Section 4.2.2 will be available with no further input required from the
user.
NOTE: The password feature is enabled by default from the factory.
Use the Joystick/Paddle to increment/decrement the value and toggle to the START position when
finished. If the password is entered correctly, the device will enter Setup Mode. If it is entered incorrectly,
the device will power down.
NOTE: The factory default password to get into the setup menu is 0000.
4.2.2 Adjusting Settings in Setup Mode
To navigate through Setup Mode, the Joystick/Paddle designated (MTN 1) and OFF-ON-START switch
are used. The Joystick/Paddle cycles through the menus and is also used to change parameters within
the menus. Pushing the OFF-ON-START switch to the START position will toggle between the menu and
its parameter(s). When adjusting larger values, the speed is dependent on how far the Joystick/Paddle is
depressed.
NOTE: No parameter changes will take effect until the user has selected ‘Save and Exit’ from the Setup
Mode.
4.2.2.1 Access Code
The Access Code determines which receiver will be controlled by the transmitter.
The Access Code in the Mini-MBT transmitter must match the receiver Access Code or dip switches.
If the Access Codes settings on the receiver and transmitter do not match, no communication will occur.
