The radio code switch FCT 10-1 BiSecur is ready for operation after the batteries have been inserted.
Inserting the batteries
2 × 1.5 V battery, type: AAA (LR03), alkali-manganese
WARNING: Risk of explosion due to incorrect battery type
There is the risk of explosion if the batteries are replaced with an incorrect
battery type.
- Only use the recommended battery type.
ATTENTION: Destruction of the radio code switch due to leaking batteries Batteries can leak and destroy the radio code switch.
- Remove the batteries from the radio code switch if it is out of use for a long period.
Operation
Each programmed personal code is assigned to a radio code. Press the buttons of the personal code whose radio code you want to transmit, plus the key switch.
- The LED is illuminated blue for 2 seconds.
- The radio code is transmitted and the LED flashes quickly in blue.
NOTES:
- • Before entering a valid access code, any number of numerical keys can be pressed, so that on entering the access code in the company of another person, there is no risk of that person being able to take note of your code. Only the last four to six (depending on the access code) numerical keys pressed before pressing the key switch will be used as the access code.
- • If the batteries are almost empty, the LED flashes red twice
- a. after a button has been pressed.
- The batteries should be replaced soon. a. and the radio code is not transmitted.
- The batteries must be replaced immediately.
Programming the access code
NOTE:
After you have gone through the individual steps to program the access code,
