Factory reset the new satellite, wait for the top led to pulsate WHITE, hit the black sync button on back of the RBR then press the black sync button on the RBS. The new satellite should start to sync and the top led should turn BLUE.

Do I need to manually change the add-on satellite settings to be the same as the RBK system or will the system handle it automatically
