Usage Instructions

1. Insert batteries into the DRC1. If the display does not flash, press the left button for 10 seconds and wait until the display starts to flash.
2. The DRC1 will search for the dehumidifier for 2 minutes. During this time, mating can be done by pressing the up and down buttons on the CDP at the same time for 5 seconds. Note: this must be done while the DRC1 is searching for the dehumidifier.
3. If the above procedure does not work, switch off the dehumidifier and wait for 5 seconds before switching it on again.
4. The dehumidifier will send a serial number to the DRC1 when mating is successful. The radio icon will turn on and the dehumidifier will confirm the connection by showing code Conn for 3 seconds.
5. Use the Up and Down buttons to navigate between icons and the Left and Right buttons to change set points value. Press Enter to confirm the new set point value and automatically switch to next icon or exit the menu.
