Selecting the R/C Input Mode

If the controller has been previously set to a different Input Mode, it will be necessary to
reset it to the R/C mode using one of the following methods:
• Restoring the factory defaults by pressing and holding the Program and Set but-
tons while powering on the controller until the LED display flashes
• Setting the “I” parameter to the value “0” using one of several methods described
in the chapters “Configuring the Controller using the Switches” on page 175,
“Using the Roborun Configuration Utility” on page 181, and “Accessing & Changing
Configuration Parameter in Flash” on page 147.
