OPERATION
Controls
Transmitters are built-to-suit, and may be equipped with
potentiometers, pushbuttons, switches, and other customer-
specificed controls. Take time to familiarize the operation and
arrangement of the controls before operating equipment.
Batteries
is transmitter operates from 3 “AA” cell batteries. Long-range
transmitters operate from 4 “AAA” batteries. Alkaline batteries
generally provide longest life. If rechargeable batteries are used,
NiMH type are recommended. Batteries are accessible by removing
the thumbscrews that hold the battery compartment door on the
back of the housing. No tools are needed to replace batteries. To
ensure maximum battery life, be sure to turn the transmitter OFF
when not in use. Remove batteries prior to shipping or storing
transmitter.
Transmitter/Receiver Matching
Transmitters and receivers are shipped from the factory as matched
pairs. If a new transmitter is to be used, it must be trained to
operate the receiver.
Training procedure:
Transmitters with tether cables:
1. Connect transmitter to receiver using tether cable provided.
2. Operate transmitter to verify tether is connected.
3. Disconnect tether, and resume normal operation.
Transmitters without tether cables:
1. Power on transmitter and receiver.
2. Press “LEARN” button on receiver.
3. Operate transmitter normally.
