THIS MANUAL IS DESIGNED TO LEAD YOU STEP BY STEP THROUGH THE PROCEDURES REQUIRED
TO TEST, INSTALL AND USE YOUR WIRELESS MAESTRO. BY FOLLOWING THESE PROCEDURES AND
SETTING UP THE SYSTEM CORRECTLY IN THE BEGINNING, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ENJOY ALL THE
FEATURES OF YOUR WIRELESS MAESTRO FOR YEARS TO COME. WE STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT
YOU PERFORM A TRIAL WIRING OF YOUR WIRELESS MAESTRO PRIOR TO FINAL INSTALLATION.
Locate the
NiCad
Batteries and Battery charger, then charge the
batteries according to the charger instructions. You will need them
later. The
NiCad
batteries will be kept charged by the solar panel
when installed in the transmitter. They should not need replacement
for two to three years. When they do need replacement use 1000
milliamp/hour
NiCad
batteries. (Do
