Powering the Receiver

1. Connect the power adapter to the bottom of the receiver, threading the cord through the groove.
2. Plug the adapter into a power outlet.

Setting Up the Receiver

The receiver can learn up to 16 transmitters. To pair a transmitter:

1. Place the receiver and transmitter next to each other. Be careful not to activate the transmitter until you've selected the tune — if the transmitter is a motion sensor, consider covering the sensor to avoid an accidental trigger.
2. Press and hold the MODE and Volume buttons for three seconds. When all four LEDs flash, release the buttons.
3. Press the Volume button repeatedly to cycle through the available tunes (see table below).
4. After choosing a tune, activate the transmitter (press its button or trip its motion sensor). The receiver emits a short beep to confirm.
5. Repeat steps 3–4 for each additional transmitter being coded.
6. When all transmitters are coded, press and hold MODE until the LEDs stop flashing.
7. Test by activating a transmitter — the receiver should play the selected tune and flash its LEDs.

If a transmitter is accidentally activated on the wrong tune, press Volume to keep cycling to the desired tune, then reactivate the transmitter.

Available Tunes

Adjusting the Volume

Press the Volume button repeatedly to cycle through four volume levels plus off. The LEDs show the current volume level for four seconds after each change.

Mounting the Receiver

Attach two screws or nails (not included) to the wall, spaced 2.6 inches (6.7 cm) apart, then hang the receiver on them.

Deleting All Sensors

1. Press and hold the MODE and Volume buttons for three seconds until the four lights flash slowly.
2. Press and hold the MODE and Volume buttons again for five seconds. The four lights flash quickly, then turn off — the receiver is reset.

To relearn sensors after a reset, repeat the "Setting Up the Receiver" steps above.
