Solution 2 of 2
❖
Relocate the receiver beyond the constraints of the 6'
connection cable and power wire supplied in the CMR-
KIT kit. Use a conventional RJ-11 extension cord and
additional 18-gage power wire to install and connect
the receiver in an optimal reception location, within 30'
of the controller.
The transmitter batteries discharge quickly
Solution 1 of 3
❖
Protect the handheld transmitter keypad. Pressing the
buttons on the hand-held cause it to transmit a signal
which uses battery power. If the transmitter is carried
in a toolbox or any place where the buttons may be
accidentally pressed will cause the batteries to discharge.
Storing the transmitter in its foam-lined carrying case is
recommended.
Solution 2 of 3
❖
Bring the batteries up to full charge. Allow the batteries
to charge continuously for at least 8 hours. The battery
charger supplied in the CMR-KIT kit can remain
connected to the transmitter whenever the transmitter is
not in use.
Solution 3 of 3
❖
Replace the batteries. NiMH batteries, as used in the
hand-held transmitter are good for many hundreds of
charge cycles, but eventually they will need to be
replaced when the no longer hold a charge. Refer to
page 17 for battery replacement procedure.
