4. Setup: Copying Code from Original Transmitter

Follow these steps carefully to program your new DOACT remote control by copying the signal from an existing, compatible remote.

Step 1: Clear the History Code from the Duplicator

1. Press and hold buttons A and B simultaneously on the DOACT remote until the LED indicator flashes three times.
2. Release button B (while continuing to press button A).
3. Press button B slowly three times. The LED indicator will flash continuously.
4. Release button A. The code clearance process is now complete.

Step 2: Copy Code from the Original Transmitter

1. Place the DOACT remote control as close as possible to your original transmitter.
2. Press and hold button A on your original transmitter.
3. While still holding button A on the original transmitter, press and hold button A on the DOACT remote control. Continue holding both buttons until the DOACT remote's LED indicator flashes rapidly.
4. Release both buttons. The code for button A is now copied.
5. Repeat the same process for other buttons (B, C, D) if desired, using the corresponding buttons on both the original and DOACT remotes.

Note: Button A typically functions as the lock button, and Button B as the unlock button, but this can vary depending on the original remote's configuration.

5. Operating Instructions

Once programmed, operating the DOACT remote control is straightforward:

• Activation: Simply press the desired button (A, B, C, or D) that you have programmed to activate the corresponding function (e.g., open/close garage door, lock/unlock car).
• Range: Ensure you are within the effective operating range of approximately 100 meters (in open air) for optimal performance. Environmental factors such as walls, structures, and electromagnetic interference can affect the actual range.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your DOACT remote control, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Cleaning: Wipe the remote with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the remote in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Replacement: The remote uses a 12V 27A battery. If the remote's range decreases significantly or the LED indicator does not light up, it may be time to replace the battery. To replace, carefully open the remote's casing (typically by unscrewing the back panel as shown in Figure 6.1), remove the old battery, and insert a new one, ensuring correct polarity.
• Avoid Physical Damage: Protect the remote from drops, impacts, and excessive pressure.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your DOACT remote control, try the following troubleshooting steps:

• Remote Not Responding:
  • Ensure the remote is properly programmed. If unsure, repeat the code copying steps (Section 4).
  • Check the battery. Replace it if it's low or dead (refer to Section 6 for battery replacement).
  • Ensure you are within the effective operating range and there are no significant obstructions between the remote and the receiver.
• Short Operating Range:
  • Replace the battery, as a weak battery can reduce range.
  • Check for sources of interference (e.g., other wireless devices, large metal objects) near the receiver or the remote.
  • Ensure the antenna on your receiver unit is unobstructed and properly positioned.
• LED Indicator Not Lighting Up:
  • The battery is likely dead. Replace it immediately.
