REMOTE FUNCTIONS
REMOTE PROGRAMMING
With MUTT
®
in the OFF position, hold down the large button (fig. 4-1) on the
remote while simultaneously turning the MUTT
®
power On. Release after 2 sec-
onds. The
remote is now programmed. Up to 24 separate remotes may be programmed to a
single MUTT
®
.
HOW TO USE THE WIRELESS REMOTE
1. LIGHTS & ELECTRIC BRAKES
Press button to select the next available electrical
circuit (including electric brakes when available).
2. AIR BRAKE OPERATION
NOTE: Be certain to CHOCK ALL TRAILER
WHEELS before conducting trailer testing
Open Emergency ball valve and charge
circuit with 100PSI. Use the small button
on the remote to actuate Service Side.
3. REMOTE CONFIRMATION INDICATOR
Red light illuminates to confirm that a button has
been pressed to indicate Battery Remote Power.
NOTE: With each press of either button, the red light (fig. 4-3) of the remote il-
luminates, showing the confirmation of button depression and battery integrity of
the remote. Inclement weather, nearby power transformers and closely parked
trailers may cause reduction in the remote signal.
The antenna wire (included in the accessories bag) can be inserted into the
MUTT
®
antenna jack (fig. 3-D). It is recommended that the antenna is installed
upon set-up (fig.5). In extreme scenarios, the operator may choose to install a
longer wire such as standard mechanic’s wire to achieve a better signal. This is
only necessary when working on trailers that are parked within 18” of each other.
In normal situations, the remote control will work from up to 100 feet away from
the MUTT
®
.
The remote Key Fob battery supplied is a 12V, Alkaline Energizer type A23. A
Gold Peak type 23AE or a Duracell MN21 battery can be used.
WARNING: Be careful when using remote controls in multi-bay shops
where another MUTT
®
may be in operation. One remote may be inadver-
tently programmed to multiple MUTT
®’
s. This can happen when the large
button on a remote is being held down at the same time another MUTT
®
is
being powered up, effectively programming one remote to two units. To
avoid this, be sure any other MUTT
®
users alert you when they power up
their unit. A remote control can only be synchronized to a MUTT
®
during the
power up phase.
