Receiver 

 

Slide Switch 
 

1.

 

ON position: the system will remain on until the slide switch is placed in the OFF or RS position. 

2.

 

RS position: the system will only operate if the remote receiver receives a signal from the transmitter. 

3.

   If the remote receiver is mounted out of children’s reach, the OFF 

position also functions as a safety device by both turning the system off and rendering the receiver 
inoperable.
