Operating Instructions
The SCS Sentinel AAM0129 remote control features two buttons for controlling your compatible gate or garage door opener.

To operate, simply press the desired button. The remote has an effective range of up to 40 meters in an open area, allowing control from a distance.
Advanced Functions
Depending on your connected system, the remote may support advanced security modes:
- Entry Mode: Activates specific security settings for when you are entering the property.

- Partial Mode: Allows for a partial opening of the gate/door, useful for pedestrian access.
Consult your gate/garage door opener's manual for specific programming and usage of these advanced modes.
SOS Emergency Call
The remote control includes an SOS emergency call feature. When activated, this function can trigger an alarm or send a signal to a connected security system, providing an additional layer of safety in emergencies. Refer to your alarm system's manual for details on how to program and use this feature.
Maintenance
Battery Replacement
When the remote control's range decreases or it becomes unresponsive, the CR2032 lithium battery may need replacement. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the "Setup" section.
- Use only a new CR2032 lithium battery for replacement.
- Dispose of old batteries responsibly according to local regulations.
Cleaning
To clean the remote control, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the device in water, as this can damage the electronics.
