Programming
NOTE:
Your Sidekick receiver and all transmitters leave the factory already programmed for the factory
default code. The Sidekick does NOT need to be programmed unless you have changed the code on
your transmitters.
The Silent Call alerting system is digitally coded. Each Silent Call transmitter contains a five position code
switch. The Sidekick receiver can be set to respond to one or more different transmitter codes. All Silent
Call devices including the Sidekick receiver leave the factory set to the default code of 1=off, 2=off, 3=off,
4=on, 5=on. This code does not need to be changed unless your system is within 100-200 feet of another
Silent Call system. In that case, simply set all transmitters to a different code (any combination of on and
off positions except all on or all off), and then reprogram the Sidekick receiver as follows:
To program a new code:
1. Turn the Sidekick on. The Sound LED will blink 5 times.
2. With the Sidekick powered on, press the program button. All four LEDs will illuminate. Hold the
program button until the LED’s goes out (about 8 seconds) and then the Green Phone LED blinks 3
times. Release the button and the LED’s will come back on to indicate that the Sidekick receiver is in
program mode. It will remain in program mode for approximately 30 seconds and the LEDs will go
out one at a time to indicate the time remaining. While in program mode, the Sidekick will memorize
the code of the first 318 MHz transmitter it receives and then exit program mode.
3. While the Sidekick receiver is in program mode, press the button on any Silent Call 318 MHz
transmitter that has been set to the desired system code. When the Sidekick receiver receives the
transmission, it will memorize the code, exit program mode and indicate the function of the
transmitter.
4. Note that you do not have to program the Sidekick receiver with every transmitter in your system as
long as all transmitters are set to the same code.
5. Programmed codes are retained in memory even when the Sidekick power is removed.
6. This new version receiver still has the ability to learn all possible address code combinations.
