Match your Handheld Transmitter with a receiver

You can match your remote with a receiver in two ways:

  • Using the built-in magnets on the back of the device.
  • Power cycling the receiver. For example, turning the vehicle ignition on and off.

Match your remote and receiver using built-in magnets

There are two built-in magnets on the back of the remote and a sensor under the Aarcomm logo on the receiver. To match your device with a receiver, both units must be in match mode.

  1. Start with both the receiver and remote off.
  2. Turn the receiver on. The LED should be white.
  3. 3. Wave the device over the sensor on the receiver (the Aarcomm logo) until the LED light changes to dark blue. This indicates that the receiver is in match mode.
  4. On the HHT, press and hold the red button. The red LED will turn on.
  5. With the red button pressed, press and hold the top-left, middle-left, and bottom-left buttons. The green LED will turn on.
  6. With both lights on, release the red button and the top-left, middle-left, and bottom-left buttons. The top screen will say Match Mode, followed by Match Successful.
  7. Turn on both the HHT and receiver. Your system is ready to operate.

Match your remote and receiver using the power switch

Use this method if you can't physically access the receiver. After putting the remote into match mode, you have 60 seconds to put the receiver in match mode. Since you may not be able to see the receiver's LED, put the remote device into match mode first:

  1. Turn off the remote.
  2. Press and hold the red button. The red LED will turn on.
  3. Press and hold the top-left, middle-left, and bottom-left buttons. The green LED will turn on.
  4. With both lights on, release the red button and the bottom three buttons on the left side.
  5. Turn the power of the receiver on for one second then off for a half second.
  6. Repeat six to seven times. On the final switch, keep the power on.
  7. Check the screen of your remote device for the Match Successful message. Your system is ready to operate.

Match failed

If you get a Match Failed message, it could mean:

  • The receiver wasn't powered on or didn't enter match mode and the remote device timed out
  • There's incompatible software on the remote device and receiver. Contact our support team for further assistance.
