5.2 Pairing with Your Gate System
The AAM0128 remote control uses a rolling code system for enhanced security.

- Ensure your gate system's receiver is powered on.
- Locate the 'Learn' or 'Program' button on your gate receiver.
- Press and hold the 'Learn' button on the receiver for a few seconds until an indicator light (LED) illuminates or flashes, signifying it is in learning mode.
- Within the specified time (usually 10-30 seconds), press the desired button on your AAM0128 remote control that you wish to assign to the gate operation.
- The indicator light on the receiver should change (e.g., turn solid, flash rapidly, or turn off) to confirm successful pairing.
- Test the remote control to ensure it operates the gate correctly.

Once paired, operating your SCS Sentinel AAM0128 remote control is straightforward.
- Ensure you are within the operational range of your gate system (up to 10 meters).
- Press the programmed button on the remote control to activate your gate.
- Pressing the button again will typically stop or reverse the gate's movement, depending on your gate system's configuration.
