Learn and Forget Talons and Foot Switch

Learning the Foot Switch is crucial for establishing communication between the Foot Switch and Talon(s). It ensures the Foot Switch is properly connected, allowing precise and efficient control over essential functions such as deploying and retracting Talons. 

Clearing learned connections is beneficial if you're experiencing control issues, switching to a new remote, or connecting the Talon to a different device. This process helps ensure smooth and reliable operation by removing unnecessary or incorrect connections.
