Remove battery cover from the back of the RMT-SR-IR remote.1.
Verify that dip switches 1 & 2 are in the down (OFF) position. (See page 13)2.
Insert the battery, hold the battery so that you can see the positive side3. facing up. The side that is not marked must be facing down.
Test the RMT-SR-IR remote by pressing ONLY one button at a time. The4. indicator light on the remote will flash once each time you press a button.
WARNING:
Do not press multiple buttons simultaneously and do NOT press buttons rapidly.

How to Resolve IR Code Conflicts
In the event that IR commands from other remote controls conflict with the
supplied RMT-SR-IR remote control, changing the remote channel will alleviate
this issue. The RMT-SR-IR remote control has DIP SWITCHES for configuring
the remote channel. The High-Definition Scaler must match the remote channel
set in the RMT-SR-IR remote control. Please see page 9 for instruction on how
to configure the channel on the High-Definition Scaler. By default, both the High-
Definition Scaler and the RMT-SR-IR remote control are set to Channel 1.
