PAIRING THE REMOTE HANDSET AND CONTROL BOX ID CODE

The Remote Control Handset has a set of unique ID codes that is pre-programmed into its memory. This set of ID codes helps to differentiate one Remote

Control Handset from another so that only the control box with a matching ID code will respond to the appropriate Remote Control Handset.

To match the control box, the following steps are to be followed:

1. Ensure the Remote is switched OFF.

2. Remove main power to the control box.

3. Reconnect main power to the control box.

4. Press and hold the PROG and FAN buttons simultaneously. The temperature display will show the letters “LC” momentarily indicating the ID codes

have been transmitted

5. The display will revert back to the normal off mode display.

6. Release both the PROG and FAN buttons.

The control box will only learn the Remote ID codes during the rst 30 seconds after power is applied and will ignore this special command from the

Remote after the rst 30 seconds

Note: The pairing up process can be carried out by anyone.

Note: In addition; please also go to: www.regency-re.com.au to see the pairing up video.
