7. Re-insert and tighten the screw to secure the casing.

4.2. Programming the Remote Control

The BFT Mitto B RCB02 R1 uses a rolling code system and must be programmed to your specific receiver. The programming procedure varies depending on the model of your BFT receiver (e.g., garage door opener, gate opener). Refer to the instruction manual of your BFT receiver for detailed programming steps. Generally, the process involves:

1. Accessing the programming mode on your BFT receiver (often by pressing a "PROG" or "MEMO" button).
2. Pressing a button on the new remote control within a specific timeframe.
3. Confirming successful programming (e.g., LED on receiver flashes or changes color).

Note: If you are replacing an existing BFT Mitto remote, some receivers may support cloning from an already programmed remote. Consult your receiver's manual for this advanced feature.

5. Operating Instructions

Once programmed, operating the BFT Mitto B RCB02 R1 remote control is straightforward.

1. Ensure you are within the operational range of your receiver (up to 150 meters in open air, actual range may vary due to obstacles).
2. Point the remote control towards the receiver (if line-of-sight is required by your system).
3. Press and hold the desired button (Button 1 or Button 2) for approximately 1-2 seconds. The LED indicator on the remote will illuminate during transmission.
4. Release the button once the connected device (e.g., garage door) begins to operate.

Each button can be programmed to control a different device or function, depending on your receiver's capabilities.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Battery Replacement

The remote control is powered by a 12V alkaline battery (e.g., A23 or 23A). The battery life will vary depending on usage. If the LED indicator on the remote control becomes dim or the remote's range decreases significantly, it is likely time to replace the battery. Refer to Section 4.1 for detailed battery replacement instructions.

6.2. Cleaning

To clean the remote control, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the device in water.
