Pairing a Remote to a Talon

Every Talon comes direct from the factory with a remote already paired to the Talon. However, any Talon can be paired with up to 3 devices per Talon.

1. Retract the anchor on the Talon by pressing the Up button.
2. Once the Talon is fully retracted, press and hold the Up button and the Down button on the Remote at the same time until the Talon Selection LEDs on the Remote begin to scroll. Then release them.
3. Immediately press and hold the Up button and the Down button simultaneously on the Indicator Panel. The Depth Indication LEDs will begin to flash blue. Once the LEDs are flashing release the buttons on the Indicator Panel. The Talon and Remote will go into Pairing Mode for 20 seconds. If a signal with three fast beeps occurs, the Talon and Remote have successfully paired. If 20 seconds pass while in Pairing Mode and they do not successfully pair, a chirp will sound signaling that the Pairing has timed out.
4. If the Pair is unsuccessful, repeat the process.

Pairing a Remote to Two Talons

In order to Pair a remote to the Talon, please be sure to first Pair the Talons together. When two Bluetooth Talons are paired together, all remotes that were paired to an individual Talon will operate both Talons. Please see the "Pairing Two Talons and Programming the Mounting Location" section below. If the two Talons are already paired together, a remote can be paired to either Talon. When the pairing process is complete, the remote will be able to control both Talons.

1. Retract the anchor on both Talons by pressing the Up button.
   
2. Once both Talons are fully retracted, press and hold the Up button and the Down buttons on the Remote at the same time until the Talon Selection LEDs on the Remote begin to scroll. After 2 seconds, release the buttons.
   
3. Immediately press and hold the Up button and the Down button simultaneously on the Indicator Panel of one Talon. The Depth Indication LEDs will begin to flash blue on both Talons. Once the LEDs are flashing release the buttons on the Indicator Panel. The Talon and Remote will go into Pairing Mode for 20 seconds.
4. If a tone with three fast beeps occurs, the Talon and Remote have successfully paired. If 20 seconds pass while in Pairing Mode and they do not successfully pair, an error tone will sound signaling that the Pairing has timed out.
5. If the Pair is unsuccessful, repeat the process.

Pairing your Talons and Program the Mounting Location

Every Talon comes direct from the factory with a remote already paired to the Talon. However, any Talon can be paired with up to 3 devices per Talon. When a boat has two Bluetooth enabled Talons installed, it is necessary to pair both Talons together, and to program which side of the boat each Talon is installed on. The process below is used to pair the Talons together, and to designate which side of the boat the each Talon is installed on. When the process is complete, all remotes that were paired to an individual Talon will now operate both Talons. If not, please see the "Pairing a remote to two Talons" section of this manual. Adding more than 3 devices per Talon may affect communication within the Bluetooth network.

1. Retract the anchor on both Talons by pressing the Up button on each Talon.
   
2. Once both Talons are fully retracted, press and hold the Up button and the Down button on the Indicator Panel of one Talon. Once the Depth Indication LEDs on the Indicator Panel begins to flash blue, release the buttons. Immediately follow this step on the second Talon.
   
3. Once the buttons are released, the Talons are in Pairing Mode and will search for each other for 20 seconds. If they do not Pair after 20 seconds, an error tone will sound signaling that the Pairing has timed out. If this occurs, double check that the Talons are fully retracted and start the process again.
4. If the Talons successfully Pair, a confirmation tone with three fast beeps will occur. At this point, the Talons have successfully paired, and now need to be programmed to designate the Port or Starboard locations.
5. The Mode Indicator LED will turn green on both Talons. On the Indicator Panel of the Starboard Talon, press the Up button. The Talon will accept the selection. The Talon on the Port side will flash red and then the LEDs on both Talons will turn off. Now the Talons are successfully Paired together and know their mounted position.
   

Clearing Paired Devices from the Talons

The Talon was designed so that all paired devices can be cleared from memory.

1. Retract the anchor on the Talon by pressing the Up button.
   
2. Turn the power to the Talon "off". You can turn off the power to the Talon by pulling the fuse.
   
3. While holding in the Up button on the Indicator Panel, restore power to the Talon. You will hear a long steady tone.
4. After the steady tone stops, release the Up button. A series of fast beeps will be heard.
5. The Talon memory is now clear of all previously paired devices.
