7. Optional: click to select a second band, then assign as the opposite (Upor Down) band; changing
both bands is not required.
8.
Select Pair , then Transmitter Pairing Request . If you assigned two new bands, both will
pair at the same time.
9. The receiver displays the transmitter pairing screen. Insert batteries in the
transmitter, install the battery cap, and wait 15 seconds for the transmitter
to fully power on.

10. Hold the infrared (IR) port of the transmitter within 5 cm of and facing the IR window on the front of
the receiver.

11.
Select again (we really like this icon) to pair the transmitter frequency band(s) to the receiver.
Hold the transmitter in place for up to ten seconds for pairing. A blue circling icon indicates the
receiver and transmitter are not yet connected; check alignment and proximity of the IR ports.
Moving the transmitter during pairing may cause an error code to display on the screen; if this happens,
simply restart the pairing process.
Can I exit the pairing screen and go back to the optimizer results without running it again?
Yes. Toggle left and select Return to frequency graph . Maximum readings will be
reset and you can continue observing the noise readings of the last optimized frequency
bands. Exiting from the frequency graph will erase optimization results.
When the pairing is successful, the receiver/transmitter icon briefly shows a happy green check mark
and the receiver beeps. Both the receiver and transmitter are now using the new optimized band(s) you
selected. If you assigned two new bands, the system defaults to using the Down band first.
l
If the pairing is unsuccessful, the receiver/transmitter icon shows an unhappy red . Select Repeat
and try pairing a second time. If still unsuccessful, ensure you have the correct transmitter selected
(page 27), remove and reinstall the transmitter batteries (positive end first) and battery cap, realign the
two IR windows, and try again. If still unsuccessful, give us a call and we'll get you going.
l If the pairing doesn't complete, no new optimized frequency is stored in the receiver. Upon exiting the
Frequency Optimizer screen, the receiver remains paired to the transmitter at the last optimized bands
used.The last frequency optimization is saved and viewable under View Frequency Optimization .
l As mentioned at the end of step 4, the second band can be paired to a completely different optimization. If
you just paired one band but want to re-optimize at a different location for the other band, simply run the
frequency optimizer at the new location (step1), select a band, and assign as the opposite (Up or Down)
band.
