Note: If your first extension unit's indicator light remains red, follow these steps to get the extension and base units to recognize each other. 1. Press the PROGRAM button on the right side of the base unit. The indicator on the front of the base unit begins to flash orange. The base unit is now in program mode, which allows newly added extension units to get the current link code. NOTES: • If the base unit's indicator light turns solid red before it begins to flash orange, you need to press the PROGRAM button on all extension units while the base is in program mode. • Make sure neither the base nor extension unit is plugged into a surge protector, plug strip, or extension cord. 2. Press the PROGRAM button on the right side of the added extension unit (or, if you're not adding an extension, the unit with a solid red indicator light).

Programming Additional Extension Units
Follow these steps to add extension units to your current setup.
Note:
If your first extension unit's indicator light remains red, follow
these steps to get the extension and base units to recognize each other.
1. Press the PROGRAM button on the right
side of the base unit. The indicator on
the front of the base unit begins to flash
orange. The base unit is now in program
mode, which allows newly added extension
units to get the current link code.
NOTES:
• If the base unit's indicator light turns solid
red before it begins to flash orange, you
need to press the PROGRAM button on
all extension units while the base is in
program mode.
• Make sure neither the base nor extension
unit is plugged into a surge protector, plug
strip, or extension cord.
2. Press the PROGRAM button on the right
side of the added extension unit (or,
if you're not adding an extension, the
unit with a solid red indicator light). The
indicator light on the extension unit flashes
red, then turns solid green.
If you are adding more than one extension
unit, press the PROGRAM button on each
added extension unit.
