1 M887655 Thank you for purchasing this MotorGuide product! FCC Compliance Statement FCC ID No.: MVUDRC01 This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. WARNING: Modifications to this device not expressly approved by the manufacturer may invalidate the user’s right to operate this equipment". DRC INSTALLATION 1. Plug the receiver into the trolling motor foot-pedal cable. 2. Plug the foot-pedal into the receiver.
2 M887655 Note: The remote control system works with or without the foot pedal attached. PROGRAMMING THE SERIAL NUMBER Each remote unit has a unique serial number. Up to four serial numbers (remotes) can be stored by your receiver. For your remote to respond to your commands only and not those of other boaters, you must program the serial number into your receiver. Follow the instructions below (one time only) to program your receiver for each new remote: 1. Power the motor up - within 10 seconds, press and hold the + and - buttons on the remote simultaneously 2. Listen for a long high pitch beep 3. The receiver has now learned and stored the serial number of the remote. CONTROLLING THE BOAT REMOTELY 1. Steering: Press the left or right arrow buttons to steer the boat, a beep will sound
3 M887655 each time one of the arrow buttons is pressed. Each button press steers the motor left or right one step. Holding a button down will rapidly steer the motor until it reaches a stop; once it has reached a stop, the receiver will no longer beep when you press the button. When the motor is first powered-up, it automatically steers to a center position unless a foot-pedal is used, then it will steer to the position of the pedal. 2. Speed: Use the + and – buttons to control the speed of the motor, a beep will sound each time the + or – buttons are pushed. Holding the button down will rapidly speed-up or slow-down the motor until it reaches minimum or maximum speed; once at the limit, the receiver will no longer beep when you press a button. When the motor is first powered-up, the initial speed is set to the same setting as on the foot-pedal speed wheel. If a foot-pedal is
4 M887655 not used, the initial speed is equivalent to a setting of 2 ½ on the foot-pedal. 3. Prop On/Off – turn the prop on or off by pressing the center button and it will alternate between on and off. The “on” condition is indicated by a high- pitched beep while “off” is indicated by a low-pitched beep. USING THE REMOTE WITH A FOOT-PEDAL 1. For maximum flexibility, the remote can be used in combination with the foot-pedal. Please note the following when doing so: 2. The last controller device (foot-pedal or remote) to send a command will be in control. 3. When going from foot-pedal to remote control, the speed and steering will always start at the last foot-pedal setting, but will end up wherever the operator sets the remote. 4. When going from remote to foot-pedal control, the motor will immediately:
5 M887655 steer to the current setting of the pedal and adapt to the speed setting on the speed-wheel. CAUTION When changing from the remote to the foot-pedal, speed and steering will instantly convert to the foot-pedal setting. USING THE REMOTE WHILE TRACKING WITH A PTSv MOTOR Do not use the “Left” and “Right” arrow buttons on the remote while the motor is tracking. Use the following commands: 1. Tracking can be suspended with the “On/Off” button. 2. Once Tracking is suspended, use the left and right arrow buttons on the remote to steer. 3. To resume tracking, press the “Resume” button on the foot-pedal.

8 M887655 TROUBLESHOOTING – Frequently Asked Questions The receiver beeps when I press a button on the remote but nothing happens. The receiver does not have the remotes serial number programmed; refer to “Programming the Serial Number”. Programming the serial number doesn’t work. The receiver’s memory might be full, see “Erasing Memory” then try programming the serial number again. Also, the serial number must be programmed within ten seconds of powering-up the motor. When I am standing at the back of the boat and I press a button on the remote, the receiver does not beep. Move the receiver away from potentially interfering devices and experiment with orienting the receiver in different directions
9 M887655 until you get good reception. Check the battery in the remote as well. When I press a button nothing happens but the foot pedal still works. If the receiver was plugged into the trolling motor while the power was on it will not function, power cycle the motor to energize the receiver properly. The system slowly stopped working. Check the battery in the remote and replace if necessary.
