Compatibility

The Bluetooth Talon Remote is compatible with all Bluetooth-enabled Talons (2018-present). It allows seamless control of Talon features such as deployment, retraction, and mode selection. However, it is not compatible with older Talon models (2011-2017) that lack Bluetooth functionality. This remote ensures efficient operation and enhances the user experience for modern Talon systems.

Pair and Clear Talons and Remotes

Pairing Talons and remotes is essential to establish communication between the devices, enabling seamless control and functionality. It ensures the remote is properly linked to the Talon, allowing you to efficiently operate features like deployment and retraction.

Clearing pairings is helpful if you're experiencing issues with control, switching to a new remote, or connecting the Talon to a different device. This ensures smooth operation by removing unnecessary or incorrect connections.

Pair to One 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.

Pair to Two 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 button 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.

Clear Pairings from a Talon

1. Retract the anchor on the Talon by pressing the Up button.
2. Turn the power to the Talon "off"
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

Clear Pairings from a Remote

1. 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, release the buttons. The Remote will go into Pairing Mode for 30 seconds.
2. Once Pairing times out all Talons will be cleared.

Using the Remote

Select a Talon | Deploy | Retract | Toggle the Mode | Control the Work Light

• Anchor Mode Button
  Used to select between Standard Mode, Soft Bottom Mode and Rough Water Mode.
• Auto Up/Down Buttons / Pairing Buttons
  Used to deploy, retract or pause the anchor on the Talon. Also used to pair the Remote to a Talon.
• Talon Selection Button / Work Light Button
  Used to select the Port, Starboard, or both Talons. Also used to toggle the Work Light "on" and "off" and switch between the different Work Light colors and intensities.

  When 2 Talons are paired in the system, the right LED is lit when the Starboard Talon is selected and the left LED is lit when the Port Talon is selected. Both the right and left arrows are lit when both Talons are selected. When only one Talon is paired, the lights will toggle, but the selection will control the only paired Talon. When a selection is made, the LEDs will stay lit for 1 second and then turn off.
• Mode Selection LEDs
  The Center LED flashes red and green and then turns off for Standard Mode. The center LED will be lit green for Soft Bottom Mode and lit red for Rough Water Mode. When in Soft Bottom Mode and Rough Water Mode, the LED will stay lit for 1 second and then turn off.

Select a Talon

The Talon Selection button toggles the Talon that the remote is controlling, when 2 Talons are installed on the boat. The selection toggles between a Talon mounted on the Port or Starboard side of the boat, or it can control both Talons at the same time. The Talon Selection LED's are lit based on the selection made.

1. To toggle the Talon selected, press the Talon Selection button, repeatedly until the desired Talon is selected.
2. When the button is pressed, one or both of the Talon Selection LEDs will be lit. If the remote is oriented so the LEDs are facing upward, the arrow on the right will be lit when the Starboard Talon is selected. If the arrow on the left is lit, the Port Talon is selected. If the LED in both arrows is lit, both Talons are selected.

Deploy

1. To deploy the Talon, double press the Down button on the Remote.
2. While the anchor is deploying, the action can be paused on the remote by pressing either the Down button or Up button again.
3. The paused deployment can be resumed by double pressing the Down button again.
4. Once the deploying anchor gets to its full length of travel or comes in contact with the bottom, it will go through an anchoring sequence determined by the current Mode and then stop.

Retract

1. To retract the Talon, press the Up button on the Remote.
2. While the anchor is retracting, the action can be paused on the remote by pressing either the Up button or the Down button.
3. The paused retraction can be resumed by pressing the Up button again.
