2. Receiver Installation
- Power Off: Before connecting the receiver, ensure your Antari machine is powered off and unplugged from the main power supply.

- Connect Receiver: Carefully align the receiver's connector with the machine's remote port and push it firmly into place. Do not force the connection.
- Secure Receiver: If applicable, use any provided mounting hardware or integrated clips to secure the receiver unit to the machine, preventing accidental disconnection.
3. Power On
Plug your Antari machine back into the power supply and turn it on. The receiver unit should power on automatically, indicated by an LED light (if present).
Operating Instructions
The WTR-20 remote provides basic control functions for your compatible Antari machine. Specific functions of buttons A, B, C, and D may vary slightly depending on the connected machine model. Refer to your machine's specific manual for detailed button assignments.
- Button A: Typically activates continuous output or a primary function.
- Button B: Often used for momentary output or a secondary function.
- Button C: May control output duration or other programmable settings.
- Button D: Can be assigned to a specific effect, timer, or other auxiliary function.
When a button is pressed, the blue indicator light on the remote will illuminate, confirming signal transmission. Ensure the remote is within operational range of the receiver for reliable control.
Maintenance
Battery Replacement (Remote)

- Open the compartment using a small screwdriver or by sliding the cover.
- Remove the old battery and insert a new one, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the battery compartment securely.
