GENERAL INFORMATION LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER

Each transmitter uses a unique security code. It will be necessary to press the LEARN button on the receiver to accept the transmitter security code upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, or if a replacement transmitter is purchased from your dealer or the factory. In order for the receiver to accept the transmitter security code, be sure the slide button on the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the receiver will not LEARN if the slide switch is in the ON or OFF position. The LEARN button in located on the front face of the receiver; inside the small hole labeled LEARN.
Using a small screwdriver or end of a paperclip gently press and release the black LEARN button inside the hole. When you release the LEARN button the receiver will emit an audible “beep”. After the receiver emits the beep press the transmitter MODE button and release. The receiver will emit several beeps indicating that the transmitter’s code has been accepted into the receiver.

THERMO SAFETY FEATURE

If the receiver should reach 130°F, the receiver will automatically shut down and you’ll hear 3 beeps every 2 seconds. Once the temperature has dropped between 120°F and 130°F, the user can reactivate the appliance by pressing the MODE key, but the beeping will continue until temperatures drop below 120°F. This is to tell the user that the receiver needs to be relocated to reduce temperatures. If this situation happens, the receiver should be relocated so it will not reach temperatures in excess of 130°F.
