Intro: What This Flex EX2 Pairing Tutorial Covers
Hello, my name’s John Stelman, I’m with Mazzella Companies. Now we’re going to pair this transmitter with this transmitter and transfer information over.
Step 1: Pull Out E-Stop Buttons and Power Transmitters Off
Both E-Stops will be pulled out.
Step 2: Transmitter 1: Hold Buttons 1 and 3 and Power On
You’ll start on the first transmitter, and you will hold down one and three and turn it on. You’ll get your status light.
Step 3: Transmitter 2: Hold Buttons 1 and 3 and Power On
And then you’ll come over to your second transmitter. You’ll hold down one and three and turn it on, also.
Step 4: Both Transmitters: Hold Button 3 Simultaneously and Release
And once you have your status lights, you will hold down button three, and release.
Confirming the Transmitter is Successfully Paired
And then you’ll get your red, orange, and green lights saying that you are connected. You’re now paired.
I hope this information was helpful today. If you have any questions or comments, please let us know. We’re here to help.
