  If the LED light on your Ambient Technologies Remote Control receiver is blinking, or if you see a battery icon on the transmitter's LCD, it likely indicates a low battery. Replace the batteries, and it's recommended to change them every 6 months to ensure optimal performance.

Why Ambient Technologies RCB Remote Control appliance does not come on?

  Luke HesterAug 11, 2025
  There are several potential reasons why your Ambient Technologies Remote Control appliance might not be turning on. First, ensure the wiring and electrical connections are correct. Try sliding the switch to the ON position. If the appliance turns on, the wiring is not the issue; otherwise, examine the wiring connections. Another cause could be mismatched privacy (DIP) switch settings between the transmitter and receiver, so verify that these settings are identical. Finally, confirm that the distance between the transmitter and receiver is less than 30 feet.
