5.2 Frequency Alignment (Binding)

For first-time use or when pairing with a new receiver, frequency alignment (binding) is required:

1. Ensure the remote control (transmitter) is turned off.
2. Enceneu el receptor.
3. Press and hold the frequency control button on the receiver.
4. While holding the button, power on the remote control. The remote control will enter frequency alignment mode.
5. The receiver's orange light will flash, indicating that the transmitter has successfully received a frequency signal and binding is complete.

After successful binding, the transmitter will automatically receive data from the receiver. To verify, turn on the machine, hold the transmitter 10 to 15 meters away from the receiver, and gently shake the transmitter left and right. If the receiver is controlled by the transmitter, it indicates proper function.
