XMSR Radio Remote & Trigger

Pairing With a Master (Pr/nP):  Pr=pair / nP=new pair

1.  

  Ensure both the XMSR and XMS units are switched on and in fairly close proximity so 

        that the two displays can be seen.

2.  

On the XMS unit press the MENU button until the display shows ‘Pr’ to indicate 

        ‘Pairing’ mode.  The display will alternate between showing ‘Pr’ and ‘nP’ for ‘new pair’.

3.  

Press the Rotary Control to request pairing with the XMSR.

4.  

The XMS unit will now display a steady ‘nP’.

5.  

On the XMSR, scroll through the menu to the Start Pairing (SP) option. Press enter to 

    start pairing.

6.  

The XMSR will now search for the XMS unit and attempt to ‘Pair’.

7.  

  When the XMS unit is found its display will change to display a random number 

        alternating with ‘nP’.  If the Sounder is enabled then this is also accompanied by a 
        short sequence of beeps.  This operation could be almost instantaneous or take up 
    to 30 seconds.

8.  

The XMS unit will automatically acknowledge ‘Pairing’ to the XMSR.

9.

    If successfully ‘Paired’ the display will show ‘FP’ for approximately 2 seconds 

        indicating it has ‘Finished Pairing’ before reverting to normal operation.  If the Sounder 
        is enabled then this is also accompanied by a long beep.

Clearing Teaming With a Master (Pr/UP): Pr=pair / UP=unpair

        proximity so that the two displays can be seen.

2.  

On the XMS unit press the MENU button until the display shows ‘Pr’ to indicate 

    ‘Pairing’ mode.

3.  

Use the Rotary Control to scroll through the pairing options until the display 

        alternates between ‘Pr’ and ‘UP’ (Un-Pairing).

4.  

Press the Rotary Control to request un-pairing with the XMSR.

5.  

The XMS will now display a steady ‘UP’ to indicate it is ready to un-pair with a remote.

6.  

On the XMSR, scroll through the menu to the UN-Pairing (UP) option. Press enter to 

    request un-pairing.

7.    

A ‘Warning’ message will be displayed on the XMSR. Press enter to confirm request 

    and start un-pairing.

8.  

The XMSR will now search for the XMS unit and attempt to ‘Un-Pair’.

9.

        alternating with ‘UP’.  If the Sounder is enabled then this is also accompanied by a 
        short sequence of beeps.  This operation could be almost instantaneous or take up 
    to 30 seconds.

10.

11.
