Reset remote: 1) Disconnect
remote cable from inverter for
5 seconds and reconnect; 2)
Check RJ11 cable connection on
back of remote (see Fig. 2-2).
Important: Ensure the RJ11
connector is pushed into
the correct port. You should
feel/hear "click" when the
connection is made.
Ensure inverter batteries are

operating correctly. Inverter
should be able to invert and
power AC loads from batteries
(ensure no AC power is
connected to the inverter AC
inputs).
Press any button to reactivate
the remote (or turn Power
Saver mode OFF).
Check communications cable
from inverter to remote;
ensure: 1) it is connected to
the REMOTE port, 2) the correct
communications cable is used
(a 4-conductor telephone
cable may be substituted to
determine if cable is good).
Ensure inverter batteries are
connected and the inverter
is operating correctly without
any AC power connected (can
invert and power AC loads from
batteries).
