DESCRIPTION
The Delta-3 DT-3+1 is a hand-held four-channel transmitter with a 
three-channel section plus an individual one-chann el section. It is 
designed so that channel 1 may h ave a syste m code inde pendent 
of the other three channels. This transmitter operating in 
conjunction with four single-channel receivers, or one 
multi-channel receiver, can perform a variet y of remote switching 
tasks. The DT-3+1 has 2 digital encoders (switch A, and switch B). 
Coding switch “A” is designed fo r use with private m ultiple ga rage 
door openers, activated by push buttons 2, 3, and 4. Coding switch 
“B” under the back cover is designed for use with less frequen tly 
changed codes, such as a community access gate that can be 
activated by push button 1. 
NOTE: The transmitter transmits continuously with the button 
pressed. The red indicator lights during transmission to indicate 
battery condition. Should it fail to illuminate, it is recommended that 
you replace the 9-volt battery.

access door to change the battery. Any type of 9-volt battery can 
be used.
REPLACE BATTERY WITH 
FRESH 9-VOLT BATTERY
