Coding the DCR-2500 receiver:

Open the receiver case by inserting a small screwdriver into one of the pry notches on the side of the case (refer to receiver manual). Gently lift off the front cover. Locate the eight dip switches on the DCR-2500 and make sure they are set identically to dip switches 1-8 on the BBT-2500.

Note: If more than one transmitter is used with the receiver, the first eight dip switches of all transmitters must match the eight dip switches of the receiver.

Note: Whenever a change is made to the time jumper or the dip switches, the receiver must be turned OFF and then back ON to operate properly.
