3. Hold the JETS and LIGHT buttons down at the same time for about 6-9 seconds.

A number will be displayed. Release both buttons.

mounting the SpaMonitor. Continue to Step 4.

B. If the number is 23 or less, a better location needs to be found.
C. In general, move closer to the spa, and away from obstacles that may block

the signal such as: fireplaces, metal appliances, bathroom plumbing, etc.
D. Repeat the above steps until a suitable location is found.
