Pairing Switches in Two-Switch mode

Three wireless switches are required for this mode: Switch 1 is the Selector Switch (used to choose 
which device is selected) and Switches 2 and 3 are the input switches.
To pair Switch 1, press the Pair button once. LED number 1 (B) will flash slowly, together with the 
Pair LED (G). Within 15 seconds, press the Pair button on the  SimplyWorks

®

 switch that you would 

like to be the Selector Switch. After a few seconds, the Pair LED (G) will light steadily to indicate 
that pairing was successful.
To pair Switch 2, press the Pair button twice until LED number 2 (B) and the Pair LED (G) flash 
slowly. Within 15 seconds, press the Pair button on the switch that you would like to be Switch 
2. After a few seconds the Pair LED (G) will light steadily to indicate that pairing was successful.
Pair Switch 3 by pressing the Pair button three times until LED number 3 (B) and the Pair LED (G) 
flash slowly. Within 15 seconds, press the Pair button on the switch that you would like to be Switch 
3. After a few seconds the Pair LED (G) will light steadily to indicate that pairing was successful.
Note that pairing settings are saved in non-volatile memory and will be recalled every time the unit 
is powered on, even if the battery is completely flattened.

Take particular care to ensure that the two cables for each device are connected in the correct 
order. Input Switch 2 will be connected to socket 1 or 3, whereas input Switch 3 will be connected 
to socket 2 or 4. 
By way of example, consider a situation where each of the two devices has a Scan and a Select 
input. Switch 2 is to be Scan and Switch 3 is to be Select. Figure 3 shows the resultant connections:
