1.2 IR Remote Control Operations
The device may also be controlled with the included IR remote control, shown in Figure 1-3.
Batteries (2×AAA) must be installed before operation.
The IR remote is set at the factory to control the device (using default Device ID# 255) without any
additional steps. Device ID# 255 is the default universal device identification number shared by the
devices. You may also pair an IR Remote to a specific device by changing the Device ID#, as follows:
Pairing (Enabling) the IR Remote to a Specific Device (optional)

useful when using multiple IR Remotes and devices.
On the device:
Step 1 Go to System > General.
Step 2 Type a number (255 digits maximum) into the Device No. field.
On the IR Remote:
Step 3 Press the DEV button.

Unpairing (Disabling) an IR Remote from a Device
To unpair an IR Remote from a device so that the unit cannot control any device functions, proceed
as follows:
Press the DEV key on the IR Remote. Any existing Device ID# will be erased from the unit’s memory
and it will no longer function with the device.
(Re)-enabling the IR Remote requires pairing to a device. See “Pairing the IR Remote to a Specific
device (optional),” above.
The keys on the remote control closely resemble the ones on the front panel. See the table 1.4.
