0 During learning, the indicators flash when the same codes are
stable and cannot be memorized multiple times. To ensure the
reception at stable codes place both remote control units on a
table or other level surface and position them at a fixed distance

and orientation.

0 The Indicators may flash in case an audio devrce can be con
trolled by the existing remote control unit but the codes cannot be
memorized by the RCv230M. This is because the RCVZSOM

requires highly stable transmisston output for identifying codes

Replace the batteries of the existing remote control unit with new

ones, then repeat the learning operation.
