4. Troubleshooting
4.1 COM BAD displays instead of SET
The formula was NOT successfully downloaded. The most likely
reasons are:
• The remote is too far from the dispenser.
• The remote is not pointed directly at the dispenser, but is
angled more than 7° to the right or left of the dispenser.
• There is an obstruction between the remote and the dispenser.
• The dispenser is in bright light or sunlight.
• The remote did not display the Home Screen before SEND was
pressed.

dispenser (that is powered on) and pressing
