Symptom

The component set to be

operated by the timer of

the Commander does not

function as expected.

The timer program is

executed in the next

week or on the next day

though that program has

been already executed.

“

BATT

”

is displayed for

a second when you try to

use the Commander.

The clock is displayed as

“

--:--

”

.

“

LOCK

”

is displayed on

the LCD and the display

for operation does not

appear when you press a

button.

Remedy

•

The component could not receive the signal from the

Commander successfully. When using the timer, check the

following.

- Check that the timer macro program functions correctly by

pressing the TEST key, after programming the timer (page

58).

- Check the location of the Commander.

•

The status of each component is not suitable for operation.

(For example, you program the power-on setting, assuming

that power of the component is off when the timer turns on.

However, if power of the component is on when the

component receives the timer signal from the Commander,

the component will turn off.)

•

The timer program contents you have set on this Commander

repeat weekly or daily. If you want to execute the timer

program once, set the timer standby mode to off after the

execution of the timer program (page 58).

•

The batteries begin to be exhausted. Replace the batteries as

early as possible (page 7).

•

The batteries might have been replaced. Replace the batteries

with new ones (page 7).

After replacing the batteries, the set

contents remain. So, to use the Commander with the previous

set contents, you should only set the clock (page 8).

•

The Hold function is on. Unlock the Hold function (page 62).
