SYSTEM PAIRING/DEDICATION
The Wireless Control System is supplied from the factory fully
programmed and ready for use, however, the following procedure can
be used to re-program/dedicate a replacement handheld or receiver
unit in the field. It is recommended that the handheld unit be charged
before it is put into operation.
1. Make sure the receiver is powered on.
2. Make sure the external antenna is connected, if applicable.
3. Press the green SETUP button on the receiver five (5) times
rapidly. The blue power/activity LED should flash five (5) times.
4. Press the SETUP button one (1) or two (2) times, depending on
the transmitter that is to be dedicated (once for first transmitter,
twice for a second/spare transmitter).
5. If the handheld has system ON/OFF buttons, press and hold the
green ON button. If it does not have system ON/OFF functionality,
press and hold any button on the transmitter.
6. If the receiver learns the transmitter ID correctly, the blue power
activity LED on the receiver will blink eight (8) times. If it does not
learn the ID correctly, the blue LED will blink two (2) times. If the
two (2) blinks occur, go back to step three (3) and repeat
instructions.
7. This completes the learning process. The ID of this transmitter is
now stored in the receiver’s memory and will not be lost when the
receiver is powered off. These instructions can be repeated
whenever a transmitter or receiver is replaced.
NOTE: The user should ensure that there are no other
operational handheld units within range of the system as
they could interfere with the dedication process.

SYSTEM OPERATION
Pressing any button in the handheld will cause the unit to wake up and
send a command. The blue LED should blink rapidly while the button
is pressed. Once the button is released, the LED will turn off.
If the battery in the handheld becomes drained to a preset point, the
red indicator will also flash every 4 seconds during button presses. An
audible alarm will also sound at this point. This is to warn the operator
that the handheld will need recharging soon.
The user has approximately one hour of continuous operation time left
before the unit shuts down. The actual amount of operational time will
depend upon the actual usage of the handheld.
HANDHELD BATTERY CHARGING
If the red LED and beeper indicate that the handheld system charge is
getting low, the unit should be recharged as soon as possible.
To charge the battery, place the handheld into the charging cradle.
The green LED will illuminate on the charging cradle, indicating that
the connection is secure. Ensure that 12/24VDC power is available to
the charging cradle at all times. Be aware that in some vehicles the
power to the receptacle is cut off when the ignition is off.
While the handheld is charging, the red LED will flash once per
second. When the unit is fully charged, the red LED will remain lit
continuously. It will take up to six hours to charge the batteries from a
fully depleted state.
It is required that any radio control system be powered only
when the equipment is parked and ready to work. A park-brake
interlock switch for all air-brake truck applications is available
from BASE Engineering at the time of order.
AN UNINTENTIONAL ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHILE THE
VEHICLE IS IN MOTION MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH.
