Pair the Raptor and Talon Stomp Switches

Pair a Wireless Stomp Switch to a Single Raptor

1. Select a Wireless Stomp Switch to pair. Press and hold the Pairing Button on the Wireless Stomp Switch for at least 5 seconds. It must be the top right corner to initiate pairing. The three red LED's under the button will begin to scroll in a clockwise direction to indicate the switch is in Pairing Mode.
2. Immediately press the Pair button on the Indicator Panel located on the Raptor Pump Assembly. The PAIR/Maintenance LED will begin to flash blue. The Raptor and Wireless Stomp Switch will go into Pairing Mode for 30 seconds. If a signal with three fast beeps from the Pump Assembly occurs, the Raptor and Wireless Stomp Switch have successfully paired. If 30 seconds pass while in Pairing Mode and they do not successfully pair, a chirp will sound from the Pump Assembly, signaling that the Pairing has timed out.
3. If the Pair is unsuccessful, repeat the process.
4. Repeat the complete pairing process for both Wireless Stomp Switches.

Pair a Wireless Stomp Switch to Two Raptors

In order to Pair a Wireless Stomp Switch to the Raptor, please be sure to first Pair the Raptors together. When two Raptors are Paired together, any Wireless Stomp Switch that was Paired to an individual Raptor will no longer be Paired. Please see the "Pairing Two Raptors and Programming the Mounting Location" section of the Raptor Owner's Manual. If the two Raptors are already Paired together, a Wireless Stomp Switch can be Paired to either Raptor. When the Pairing process is complete, the Wireless Stomp Switch will be able to control both Raptors.

Pair a Wireless Stomp Switch to a Single Talon

1. Retract the anchor on the Talon by pressing the Up button on the Talon Indicator Panel.
2. Once the Talon is fully retracted, select a Wireless Stomp Switch to pair. Press and hold the Pairing Button on the Wireless Stomp Switch for at least 5 seconds. It must be the top right corner to initiate pairing. The three red LED's under the button will begin to scroll in a clockwise direction to indicate the switch is in Pairing Mode.
3. Immediately press and hold the Up button and the Down button simultaneously on the Indicator Panel on the Talon. The Depth Indication LEDs on the Indicator Panel of the Talon will begin to scroll. Once the LEDs are scrolling release the buttons on the Indicator Panel. The Talon and Wireless Stomp Switch will go into Pairing Mode for 30 seconds. If a signal with three fast beeps occurs, the Talon and Wireless Stomp Switch have successfully paired. If 30 seconds pass while in Pairing Mode and they do not successfully pair, an error tone will sound indicating that the pairing was not successful, and the Wireless Stomp Switch will not be able to control the Talon.
4. If the Pair is unsuccessful, repeat the process.
5. Repeat the complete pairing process for both Wireless Stomp Switches.

Pair a Wireless Stomp Switch to Two Talons

In order to Pair a Wireless Stomp Switch to the Talon, please be sure to first Pair the Talons together. When two Bluetooth® Talons are Paired together, the Wireless Stomp Switch that was Paired to an individual Talon will operate both Talons. Please see the "Pairing Two Talons and Programming the Mounting Location" section of the Talon Owner's Manual. If the two Talons are already Paired together, a Wireless Stomp Switch can be Paired to either Talon. When the Pairing process is complete, the Wireless Stomp Switch will be able to control both Talons.

Clear Paired Raptors/Talons from the Wireless Stomp Switches

1. Select a Wireless Stomp Switch to clear. Press and hold the Pairing Button on the Wireless Stomp Switch for at least 5 seconds. It must be the top right corner to initiate pairing. The three red LED's under the button will begin to scroll in a clockwise direction to indicate the switch is in Pairing Mode.
2. The Wireless Stomp Switch will go into Pairing Mode for 30 seconds. Once Pairing times out all Talon(s)/ Raptor(s) will be cleared.
3. Repeat the complete clearing process for both Wireless Stomp Switches.
