The Receiver and Transmitter are coded alike at the factory for proper communication. Normally, you would
never have to recode your Receiver. However, we have included the following instructions in case you ever lose
your Receiver or Transmitter and have to replace it with a new one.
1. Push the reset button until the yellow light comes on (about 5 seconds). Be sure to release the button once
the yellow light comes on. The red light will also flash every 5 seconds.
2. Have someone go to the towed car and activate the braking system by depressing the test button and
holding it until the cylinder extends. This will cause the Transmitter to send the code to the Receiver. Keep
the test button depressed. Hint: If you have an additional 12 volt outlet in the car, you can take the
Receiver with you to the towed vehicle and perform the above instructions. If you do not have an additional
12 volt outlet you can purchase our optional 12 volt “Y” part number 9330.
3. While the test button is depressed on the unit, press and release the reset button on the Receiver
several times until the red LED light illuminates. The Receiver is now programmed to match the
Transmitter’s code.
Recoding BrakeAlert
BrakeAlert Transmitter
The Transmitter simply relays braking information up to the Receiver in
the motorhome. The red LED on the Transmitter will illuminate each time
a signal is sent to the Receiver.

Check for proper operation of brake lights & turn signals
1. Connect car and motorhome as if you are towing.
2. Turn on the motorhome and activate your turn signal. The turn signal on the towed car should blink on and
off. Leave turn signal flashing for now.
3. Go to the towed car and depress the brake pedal.
4. If depressing the brake pedal deactivates the turn signal on the towed car, you need to install the
Brake-Lite Relay Kit number 88400. This kit will prevent the towed car’s brake lights from overriding the
turn signals. Refer to optional Brake-Lite Relay Kit instructions later in this manual.
Dimmer Switch - Dims lights for night time driving. Press again to brighten.
Reset Button - The dimmer switch becomes the reset button when held down for 5 seconds. See section
entitled “Recoding BrakeAlert” next.
