(5) Remote registration For this wireless system, it is necessary to register the PID for each product to establish communication without interference from another network. The Remote unit registration display consists of "Registered Remotes", "Remote registration buttons", "Free Remotes", "Pairing", and "Dummy" items. * Registration of Remotes needs to be performed with power supplied.
Page 103
(5)-b Remote registration buttons Remote registration buttons are only enabled when wireless units are in pairing mode. - Remote registration button display Display Description Select the channel used to register the Remote to the Wireless Base. W.ch (Only channels available for registration will be displayed) Move the Wireless Remote from Free Remotes to Registered Remotes.
Page 104
(5)-d Pairing The radio buttons used for pairing are only settable in Administrator mode. They can be set even when power is off. - Pairing radio button display Item Description Change to normal (non-pairing) mode. Indicates that the current status is Normal (pairing Normal mode disabled) mode.

(5)-f FCS Setting (Frequency Channel Select) The frequency channel can be selected using this function. This function is only supported by protocol V.2.0. Specify protocol V.2.0 in [System setting]. FCS Setting cannot be used if communication with subordinate Remotes uses a mixture of protocols. Ensure that only Remote units that support protocol V.2.0 are registered to the Base with which FCS Setting is to be used.
