Catchbox 2.4

Pairing the Transmitter and Receiver

In order to function properly, the Catchbox 2.4 
Transmitter unit needs to be paired with a Catchbox 
2.4 Receiver unit.  To pair the two units, follow these 
steps:

1.  Turn on both devices and place them within 2 m / 6 ft of each other.
2.  Press the Pairing button on either of the devices (transmitter or 

receiver). The Status LED on that device will start blinking rapidly 
for a period of 20 seconds.

3.  Within the 20 second period, press the pairing button on the other 

device. Both devices are paired if both status LEDs stop blinking 
and are On.  If they are still blinking, pairing was not successful, and 
you should try again. 

2 m / 6 ft

Note: It is only possible to pair one transmitter unit to a single receiver unit. Devices 
will stay paired after turning off the power.
