Adjusting Hook Parameters on eMINI: A Step-by-Step Guide
Hooks and the eMINI have various parameters that you can customize to optimize their performance according to your specific needs. Before making any adjustments, it’s essential to understand the implications of changing these settings, as incorrect configurations may cause the hook to malfunction. This guide will walk you through the process of accessing and modifying these parameters safely.
Accessing Hook Parameters
1. Entering Setup Mode: Start by pressing and holding the open button on your eMINI until the number "3" appears on the 7-segment display. This indicates that you are entering the setup mode.
2. Navigating Through Parameters: While still holding the open button, release it once the number "3" is displayed. Next, press and release the close button; the number "2" will appear. Repeat this process for the number "1." After this, the letter "b" will show, confirming that you are now in setup mode. You can navigate through the various parameters by pressing and releasing the open button.
3. Understanding Parameter Order: The parameters are displayed in a specific order, which includes:
- Button mode (b)
- Power (P)
- Overpower (t)
- Time opening (o)
- Time closing (c)
- Autoclose (A)
- Halt (h)
- Sensor Sensitivity (s)
- Brake (d)
- Frequency (F)
- Reach (r)
- Sleep time for radio (e)

4. Changing Parameters: To modify a parameter, navigate to the desired setting and press and hold the close button until the number changes. Release the close button and repeat this step until the parameter is adjusted to your satisfaction.
5. Exiting Setup Mode: To exit setup mode, simply refrain from pressing any buttons for a short period. If you press a button while in one-button mode, the letter "b" will appear if the hook is not connected, or you will see the battery status. In two-button mode, pressing the open button will display an "o" along with the battery status if the hook is connected, or "b" if it is not.
It is crucial to remember that manipulating these parameters without the necessary knowledge may lead to incorrect functioning of the hook. This guide aims to clarify the meanings of various settings and explain all available options.
By following these steps, you can effectively customize your eMINI/hook parameters to suit your operational requirements. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to our customer support team!
