Removing and Replacing the IR Transmitter
Under most circumstances, Precor does not recommend
removing the IR transmitter once it has been mounted on the
external receiver. However, you may need to remove a
transmitter for one of the following reasons:
The transmitter is not operating correctly.
The transmitter's programming has been lost or
corrupted, requiring you to reconfigure it using a remote
control.
Before you remove the transmitter, make sure you have the
following items available:
A short piece of black thread, slightly longer than the
transmitter is wide
A replacement for the transmitter (if it is defective) or the
adhesive gasket (if the transmitter can be reused)
To remove the IR transmitter:
1. Pull the thread tight and position it against the surface of
the external receiver.
2. While keeping the thread tight, move it across the surface
of the receiver so that it cuts through the adhesive gasket
as close to the receiver as possible.
3. Lift the IR transmitter off of the receiver.
4. Remove as much gasket material from the receiver and
the IR transmitter as possible.
5. If you can reuse the same IR transmitter, remove the
backing from one side of the new adhesive gasket. Apply
the new gasket to the transmitter in place of the old
gasket.
Once the surface of the receiver has been cleaned, you can
replace the IR transmitter using the same steps as you used to
mount it originally (refer to Connecting Receivers).
