Resetting Components

Use the reset function if it is necessary to restore the transmitter or receiver to their factory settings.

Resetting the Receiver

Restores the receiver to the following factory settings:

Gain level = default

Controls = unlocked

Press and hold the link button while turning on the receiver power until the LCD displays RE.

Note: When reset is complete, the receiver will automatically initiate linking to search for a transmitter. Press and hold the transmitter link button within five

seconds of powering-on to complete the link.

Resetting the Transmitter

Restores the transmitter to the following factory settings:

Controls = unlocked

Press and hold the transmitter link button while turning on the transmitter until power LED goes off.

When the link button is released, the transmitter will automatically initiate linking to find an available receiver. Press the link but

ton on an available receiver to relink.
