Mine came with a red sheet of paper titled "MIDI Foot Controller FCB1010 --
Important Information", which said to reset all of the MIDI channel 
settings
in the global setup.  I looked at it and set it aside, because I couldn't
imagine that they'd ship a product that wouldn't work without reprogramming
first.  As it turns out, they're right.  Mine transmitted badly formed 
sysex
messages for the pedals 'till I reset all of the MIDI channels.

YMMV
