Problem Motor is not responding
Motor beeps x10 when in use Cannot program a single motor (multiple motors respond)
Cause
Remedy
Battery in motor is depleted or Power Supply is not working
Recharge with a compatible charger
Insufficient charging from solar PV panel
Check connection and orientation of PV panel
Transmitter battery is discharged Replace battery
Battery is inserted incorrectly into transmitter
Check battery polarity
Radio interference/shielding
Ensure transmitter is positioned away from metal objects and the aerial on motor or receiver is kept straight and away from metal
Receiver distance is too far from transmitter
Move transmitter to a closer position
Charging failure
Check power supply to motor is connected and active
Battery voltage is low
Recharge with a compatible charger
Multiple motors are paired to the same channel
Always reserve an individual channel for programming functions. Use Sleep Mode to program individual motors.
