using the Indoor/Outdoor Receiver outdoors,
see extra precautions below.
Precautions When Using the Indoor/
Outdoor Receiver Outdoors
•The receiver must be oriented with the power
outlet down to prevent rain from entering the
unit. See illustration.
•Hang the receiver on a nail or screw as shown.
There is a hole in the back for this purpose.
DO NOT allow receiver to hang by the cord.
•Note in the illustration that the receiver is
located below the wall outlet. This is to pre-
vent rain from running down the cord into the
wall outlet.
•
Note:
The National Electrical Code and Cana-
dian Electrical Code (and most local codes)
require that outside outlets be protected by a
Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI).

CHANNEL SETTINGS
Note:
The channel is factory set. Most instal-
lations will not require you to change the two
dip switches on your remote control or re-
ceiver.
Note:
If purchasing more than one remote
control system, select different operating
channels unless you want one remote con-
trol to operate multiple receivers.
These remote control products communicate by
using channels that can be changed by sliding
dip switches into the ON or OFF position on both
the transmitter and receiver unit(s).
Note:
Switch
settings must match. Other remote controlled
unit(s) may cause interference and the system
may not function properly. Follow the instruc-
tions below for setting a new channel.
1. Locate dip switches on both the transmitter
and receiver unit(s).
2. To change the channel, slide dip switches to
ON or OFF as needed. It is recommended to
only change one dip switch at a time and then
check to see if system is functioning properly.
IMPORTANT:
Dip switches must be in the
exact same configuration on both the trans-
mitter and receiver unit(s) for this system to
function properly.
