Dial teaching for old NexCruise (2022 model)

What is dial teaching

Dial teaching is a procedure to "teach" the main unit of NexCruise about the various keys of the wireless dial. You press each button on dial sequentially, and the NexCruise main unit "learns" about the buttons and stores their values in its memory. Normally it is done at the time of first use, at our factory. It need not be done again.

However, dial teaching is a good way to verify that all buttons of NexCruise dial are working fine and received properly by the main unit of the NexCruise. You can safely do it any number of times.
NOTE: Once you start the dial teaching procedure, don't abort it in between. It may render your dial unusable.

Basic principle

When dial teaching is started, NexCruise main unit "prompts" the user to press various dial keys in a particular sequence, and you are expected to press the prompted keys. When you press a key, NexCruise learns about it and stores it in memory, and moves on to the next prompt.

How to perform dial teaching
