Selecting the R/C Input Mode

If the controller has been previously set to a different Input Mode, it will be necessary to
reset it to the R/C mode using one of the following methods:
• Restoring the factory defaults by pressing and holding the Program and Set but-
tons while powering on the controller until the LED display flashes
• Setting the “I” parameter to the value “0” using one of several methods described
in the chapters “Configuring the Controller using the Switches” on page 153,
