The Wireless Sender and Wireless Receiver are pre-paired at the factory. When connected to power, the front LEDs light solid blue when the Wireless Sender and Wireless Receiver are paired. (For more information on the LED indicators see Question 3.) If the Wireless Sender and Wireless Receiver do not connect automatically you may need to pair the devices manually.

To pair the Wireless Sender and Wireless Receiver manually:

1. Hold CONNECT button on either the Wireless Sender or Wireless Receiver for two seconds.  The LED indicator will blink at a faster rate and the unit will be in “connection mode” for about 30 seconds.
2. During this period, press the CONNECT button on the other unit for two seconds so it will also enter “connection mode.” The LED indicator will blink at a faster rate.
3. Wait for the LED indicators to stop blinking. A link is established between the Wireless Sender and Wireless Receiver and they will reconnect automatically every time they are turned off and on.
   Tip: If the devices are not pairing manually, try placing the Wireless Sender and Wireless Receiver closer together and in a line of sight with each other. You can move them to another location after they have been paired. Make sure the Wireless Sender and Wireless Receiver are separated by at least 12 inches and are within 45 feet of each other.

Notes:
