7.0 ID Registration

ID Registration allows you to pair the new TX or RX if one of them is damaged. In order to work, the TX & RX must have the same ID codes and frequency. Using ID Registration will make both the TX and RX have the same ID codes.

1) Please make sure the following conditions before ID Registration:

• (a) Both TX and RX are of the SAME model and frequency.
• (b) Place the transmitter as close as possible to the receiver to avoid any interference.
• (c) Turn off the RX power more than 10 seconds and turn it on again.
• (d) Complete the ID Registration within 4 minutes after turning on the RX. The RX will NOT accept the ID Registration signal after 4 minutes.

2) ID Registration Instructions:

1. Press and hold the transmitter STOP [button] / EMS [button].
2. Press DOWN [button] and hold it.
3. Press UP [button] 4 times and release "STOP & DOWN" pushbuttons when the red light on the transmitter is flashing.
4. Start the system as usual.

[Diagram: Shows pressing and holding the STOP pushbutton, pressing the DOWN pushbutton, and pressing the UP pushbutton 4 times.]

Note: For SAGA1-L6B

1. The Down [button] must be remaining in 1st step while holding the button.
2. Press UP [button] till 1st step continuing for 4 times. Do not press button into 2nd step while proceeding this instruction otherwise the ID registration will be aborted.

ATTENTION:

• In case ID Registration fails, repeat the instructions above within 4 minutes.
• ID Registration is available for ID code only. It will not change function settings.
• Within the operating distance, all same model systems on the same frequency will be paired with the transmitter's ID code.

8.0 Change the Frequency

It's simple to change the frequency of the SAGA1-L series. The system's frequency can be changed simply by replacing the correspondent frequency quartz in both TX and RX.

Instructions:

1. Pry up the [quartz unit] with a flat screwdriver.
2. Remove the [quartz unit] from the system.
3. Use a needle nose pliers to straighten both pins of the new [quartz unit].
4. Insert new [quartz unit] vertically into PC board.
5. Press new [quartz unit] down into the socket.

[Diagram: Shows steps 1 through 5 for replacing the frequency quartz unit.]

Note: The frequency will be different when plugging the same quartz unit into TX or RX, for example:

• Frequency for TX is 433.35 MHz.
• Frequency for RX is 444.05 MHz.

9.0 Batteries

Two AA size alkaline batteries are required for the transmitter. The LED will flash green when the battery power is sufficient. The LED will flash red when the battery power is low.

• The operating distance will become shorter and intermittent when the battery is low.
• Replace with new battery when battery power is low.

Don't use rechargeable batteries.
