PROGRAMMING SIDEKICK’S

ACTIVATION SEQUENCE

Sidekick’s default activation sequence goes from low to medium to high output and

then off; however, it can also be programmed by the user to reverse this sequence—

high-med-low-off—to accommodate personal preference. Sidekick must be

plugged into its charger to program the activation sequence. Once programmed

and removed from its charger, the activation sequence will not change unless

Sidekick is reprogrammed to its default sequence.

To reverse Sidekick’s default activation sequence

1. Plug Sidekick into its charger

2. Press and release the pushbutton three times until high output is activated

3. Wait 5 or more seconds, then press pushbutton once more, turning Sidekick off

4. Remove Sidekick from its charger and test activation sequence— it should

now be high-med-low-off

To restore Sidekick’s activation sequence to its default setting (low-med-high-off),

repeat the above procedure with the following exception in Step #2: Press and

release pushbutton three times until LOW output is activated.
