4.8  Synchronizing the Remote Control

Even though the remote control is factory-synchronized

control box or the remote control.

•  To synchronize the remote control to the control box:

 Press 

 and hold for 3 seconds to turn on remote.

  Plug the control box into a power source.
  When the display shows the operating time, press
 

 and 

 simultaneously for six (6) seconds.

•  The display shows 

 followed by the 

normal operating time display to indicate the cleaner 

is now synched with the remote and ready to begin 

operating in remote control mode.

4.9  Storing the Cleaner 

The cleaner must be cleaned regularly using slightly 

soapy clean water. Do not use solvents such as acetone 

or its equivalent. Rinse the cleaner generously using 

clean water. Do not let your cleaner dry in direct 

sunlight near the pool. 

NOTE:

  For VX50 4WD and VX55 4WD models, it is 

recommended that the cleaner is stored on its caddy 

for drying (see Figure 23).

and tangles from the floating cable (Figure 22).
