You can connect up to 16 transmitters to your DAKOTA ALERT DCR-4000 receiver. To begin the setup process, follow these steps:

1. Place your receiver and transmitter next to each other. Note: Be careful not to activate your transmitter until you find the tune you want. If your transmitter is a motion sensor, consider covering the sensor to avoid accidentally activating it.

2. Press and hold the MODE and volume buttons for three seconds. When all four LEDs flash, release the buttons.

1. After putting the receiver in setup mode, press the volume button repeatedly until you find the tune you want to use.

2. After you choose a tune, activate the transmitter (for example, press its button or activate the motion sensor). The receiver emits a short beep.

Note: If you accidentally activate the transmitter on a tune you don’t want, press the volume button to continue cycling through the tunes to select the tune you want, then reactivate the transmitter.

3. If you are coding more than one transmitter, repeat steps 1 and 2.

4. After your transmitter(s) are coded, press and hold the MODE button until the LEDs stop flashing.

5. To test the transmitter tune, activate the transmitter. You’ll hear the selected tune through your receiver and the LEDs will flash.

Press the volume button repeatedly to adjust the volume. There are four volume levels and an off setting. The lights show the volume level for four seconds after an adjustment.

Attach two screws (not included) or nails to your wall 2.6 inches (6.7 cm) apart, then hang your receiver.

To reset your receiver and delete all sensors, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the MODE and volume buttons for three seconds until the four lights flash slowly.

2. Press and hold the MODE and volume buttons again for five seconds. The four lights flash quickly, then turn off. The receiver is reset.
