STARTING YOUR GENERATOR
UNPAIRING THE REMOTE AND GENERATOR
1. Insert the engine switch key and turn the engine switch on the control panel (Fig. 13 - 1) to ON.
2. Press the REMOTE POWER button (Fig. 13 - 3) on the control panel.
3. Press and hold REMOTE PAIRING button (Fig. 13 - 2) on control panel until PAIRING LIGHT (Fig. 13 – 4) turns on.
4. Press the STOP button (Fig. 14 – 2) on the remote control once. The PAIRING LIGHT will turn off, then back on.
5. Press and hold the REMOTE PAIRING button on the control panel until the PAIRING LIGHT turns off (about 2
seconds). The generator and remote are now unpaired.
REPLACING REMOTE BATTERIES
1. Use a screwdriver to loosen the 2 screws on back of remote. Open the back of the remote and remove the 2
CR2016 batteries from the battery compartment.
2. Install 2 new CR2016 batteries in battery compartment, in the same orientation as you removed the old batteries.
3. Replace the back of the remote and tighten the screws. Follow the instructions above to pair your remote with
the generator.

STANDBY MODE
Once the generator is shut down, the generator's remote control
function will stay in standby mode for 12 hours while the en-
gine switch is ON. If the engine is not started in those 12 hours,
the generator will enter sleep mode in order to minimize current
draw on the battery and ensure that the generator can be started
in times of need. In sleep mode, the generator cannot be started
via the remote control, but it can be started using the keyed elec-
tric start or recoil start.

When the generator is in sleep mode, press REMOTE POWER
button on the control panel to put the generator in standby mode.
In standby mode, the generator can be started using the remote.
PANEL PROTECTION
As mentioned above, the generator automatically disconnects power to the control panel when starting and stop-
ping using remote start. This is to protect the loads that are connected to the generator from being damaged by
non-60Hz power. The power delay only happens when the remote is used to start or stop the generator, and will
not happen if another method is used to start or stop the generator. ALWAYS make sure loads are turned off and
disconnected from the generator when starting or stopping the generator.
PAIRING MULTIPLE REMOTES
You can pair up to 2 remotes at a time with your generator. Remotes (part no. GN9500-303.2) can be purchased
from wenproducts.com. To pair a new remote with your generator, follow instructions above in "Pairing the Remote
and the Generator".
NOTE: If you have multiple remotes paired with your generator and you unpair one remote, you will also unpair the
other remote simultaneously. You will need to pair the other remote with the generator again before it can be used.
If at any point you have questions, problems, or concerns about the remote start function, consult the Troubleshoot-
ing guide on p. 34 or contact customer service at
1-800-232-1195.
