from memory I THINK that when you press the down button the icon starts to flash and it beeps and then it is hunting for the transmitter. If it does not beep it is not searching. Did you change the batteries in the transmitter AND the console? Did you wait 2 minutes before reinserting new batteries in the transmitter? You could also try with the console outside closer to the transmitter - and the manual suggests doing this resync at night. Otherwise maybe it has died a death ... RIP...
