Page 40 Each transmitter has an individually assigned, unique ID code. In order to start operation, the receiver must be linked with the ID code of the transmitter to which it is being paired. Once the link is made, the ID code is stored in the receiver and no further linking is necessary unless the receiver is to be used with another transmitter.

Page 42 ◆ When the receiver has the transmitter's ID in memory, a link is established and normal operation is allowed. ◆ When the transmitter has the receiver's ID in memory, a link is established and telemetry functions are usable. The transmitter stores receiver IDs by model; thus, if it does not have a particular receiver model ID stored in memory or has a different receiver ID stored, telemetry functions will be unusable. However, the device is operable as long as the receiver has the transmitter's ID stored in memory.
