Power Button
The Power button toggles the Receiver between standby and on modes. Hold the Power button for 2 seconds to change state. The Power button remains lit regardless of state. When the Receiver is in Standby, the Information Display will have no data present and be dark. When the Receiver is in On mode, the Information Display will show data and be illuminated green. If the Information Display may be red if the selected channel/frequency experiences interference.

IR Transmitter LED
When the IR-SW button is pressed, the IR LED will flash and send the currently selected channel of the Receiver to a Transmitter within line of sight and that is within 2 feet of the Receiver, for easy synchronization. Once the data is successfully synchronized to the Transmitter, the IR LED will stop flashing.

IR-SW button
The IR-SW starts the process of the Receiver sending out the current channel data via the IR LED.

Scan button
This button performs a frequency scan to select the best available frequency that is not already in use by a Transmitter. In order for this function to operate correctly, you must have all transmitters, currently assigned channels, to be on. The Receiver will scan and detect which channels that are unused are the best next option to use within your system.

• Off: Receiver is in Standby
