receiver in the previously installed junc-
tion box, and connect the 6-pin terminal
to the 6-pin connector on the back of the
receiver.
3. Install the receiver cover plate, taking care
to ensure the receiver switch is properly
indexed with the switch cover when align-
ing the components for attachments.
