Problem

Possible cause and suggested remedy

up.

®

?

®

?

• Is the transmitter’s connector dirty?

the receiver and press until there is the feeling of a button being pressed.

I can’t register the (pairing 

of the) device.

• Did you allow more than one minute to elapse after setting the unit to the device 

registration mode? The pair setting is automatically released if you allow more than 

one minute to elapse.
