The LED during Normal mode
• Blinks green: Remote sends a command.
• Blinks green/red: batteries are low, you should
change them within a few days.
• Blinks red: replace batteries immediately.
Replace them within 30 minutes or else all
information in memory will be erased!
The LED during 'Learn' mode
• Indicates orange: Remote is in 'Learn' mode.
• Blinks orange: Remote awaits the command to
be 'learned' from the other remote control.
• Indicates green: the new command has been
'learned'.
• Indicates red: the new command has NOT been
'learned'.
• Blinks for 10 seconds red, yellow and green:
memory full, you cannot program new
commands.
Note: You can still change any commands
already programmed.
Batteries
The two batteries have a life span of approximately
one year during normal use, but shorter when used
more intensely.
Replacement batteries: 1.5 V, model penlite or AAA
(one of these codes is indicated on the packaging
and the batteries). You may also use rechargeable
1.5 V batteries.
Do not leave the battery compartment empty for
more than 30 minutes or else all information in
memory will be erased!
Note: Position the new batteries exactly as shown
in the illustration at the bottom of the battery
compartment, otherwise the memory might be
erased completely!
Other things worth knowing...
The 'advanced user' will understand that you can
program any function for any button! You are
therefore able to custom configure the Remote
Control and use it for several pieces of equipment.
The memory holds a maximum of 120 commands.
Warning: If you don't know exactly what you are
doing, please consult your Sphinx dealer!
