  If your Magnetek Remote Control isn't responding when you press the transmitter button, here are a few things to check: * First, check the transmitter battery level. * Ensure the red emergency stop button is elevated before turning on the transmitter. * If you have an 8EX, redo the startup procedure by holding the power key at the START position for up to 2 seconds, then release. * For 12EX, initiate the Start command by rotating the power key switch to the START position. * Verify that the transmitter and receiver have the same RF channel and serial number/ID code. * Make sure you're within 100 meters (300 feet) of the receiver during startup.

  If your Magnetek Remote Control isn't responding due to potential hardware damage: 1. Check the SQ display on the receiver. If it doesn't light up when you press the button, the transmitting or receiving module might be defective. Start by replacing the transmitting module. If the SQ display remains unlit, replace the receiving module. 2. If there's still no response, replace the transmitter encoder board. If it's still unresponsive, then the decoder module is defective.

  Your Magnetek Transmitter may not respond to button presses due to several reasons: 1. **Low Battery:** The transmitter battery might be low. Check the battery level. 2. **Emergency Stop:** The emergency stop button could be activated. Ensure it's elevated before starting. 3. **Startup Procedure:** An improper startup could be the cause. Redo the procedure by holding the power key at 'START' for up to 2 seconds, then release. 4. **RF Channel Mismatch:** The transmitter and receiver might be on different channels. Ensure they match. 5. **Access Code Mismatch:** The Receiver Access Code might be different on the transmitter and receiver. Ensure they are the same. 6. **Out of Range:** The system may be out of range. Start the procedure within 100 meters (300 feet) of the receiver.
