Connecting a Wireless Remote
For a Wireless Remote to operate with a Brake Commander it must first be connected to it.
The Wireless Remote will automatically connect to the first available Brake Commander;
To achieve the best possible results;
• Ensure the Brake Commander you are connecting to has been turned ON for
2 minutes or more.
• Ensure the Brake Commander is not already connected to another Wireless Remote, if
so, move the other Wireless Remote out of radio range.
• Turn the Wireless Remote ON by connecting it to a USB power source or wake it from
sleep with the . “+” (plus) button, “-”(minus) button, or Override Button
• The STATUS LED on the Brake Commander will blink rapidly whenever Brake
Commander is resetting the wireless network, the wireless network is reset whenever
there is no communication for a period of 20 seconds. Short delays in establishing an
automatic connection may occur if the network is being reset while the Wireless Remote
is searching.
Once connected, the Wireless Remote will display the current status of the Brake Commander.
The buttons can now be used to perform various functions as outlined.
If a Wireless Remote has been charged and is sitting in the tow vehicle sleeping, Brake
Commander will wake it up and establish an automatic connection. This connection method
can take a while (2-3 minutes), manually waking the Wireless Remote will establish the
connection quicker.
