- Remove the old 12V battery.
- Insert a new 12V alkaline battery, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -).
- Close the casing securely.

The VM130T is a transmitter module and requires a compatible Velleman RF receiver (e.g., K8057, VM109, VM130 receiver units) to function. The pairing procedure is specific to the receiver unit. Please refer to the instruction manual of your Velleman RF receiver for detailed steps on how to pair the VM130T transmitter with your receiver.
5. Operating Instructions
Once the VM130T transmitter is successfully paired with your Velleman RF receiver, operation is straightforward:
- Button Functionality: The VM130T features two buttons. Each button corresponds to a specific channel or function as configured on your receiver unit.
- Transmitting a Signal: Press and hold the desired button briefly to send a signal to the paired receiver. A small red indicator light on the transmitter may illuminate to confirm signal transmission.
- Range: Ensure you are within the maximum operating range of 10 meters (approximately 33 feet) from the receiver for reliable signal transmission. Obstacles suchs as walls, metal structures, and other electronic devices can reduce the effective range.
