Batteries may be dead.
Replace the batteries with
three new AAA alkaline

device.

Make sure that the desired
device key on the RM-900
LCD panel has been
selected.

Move closer to the device.
The maximum operating
distance is approximately
30 feet.

Ensure that you are aiming
the RM-900 directly at the

Ensure programming with
the learning function (page
18) or the manufacturer
codes has been properly
done.

Re-teach the key (page
13).
