steps. Device ID# 255 is the default universal device identification number shared by the NVRs. You may also
pair an IR Remote to a specific NVR by changing the Device ID#, as follows:
Pairing (Enabling) the IR Remote to a Specific DVR (optional)
You can pair an IR Remote to a specific DVR by creating a user-defined Device ID#. This feature is useful when
using multiple IR Remotes and DVRs.
On the DVR:
1. Go to General > More Settings.
2. Type a number (255 digits maximum) into the Device No. field.
3. On the IR Remote:
4. Press the DEV button.
5. Use the Number buttons to enter the Device ID# that was entered into the DVR.
6. Press Enter button to accept the new Device ID#.
Figure 1. 2 Remote Control
- Unpairing (Disabling) an IR Remote from a DVR
To unpair an IR Remote from a DVR so that the unit cannot control any DVR functions, proceed as follows:

Troubleshooting Remote Control:
Make sure you have installed batteries properly in the remote control. And you have to aim the remote control at
the IR receiver in the front panel.
If there is no response after you press any button on the remote, follow the procedure below to troubleshoot.
Steps:
1. Go to Menu > Settings > General > More Settings by operating the front control panel or the mouse.
2. Check and remember NVR ID#. The default ID# is 255. This ID# is valid for all the IR remote controls.
3. Press the DEV button on the remote control.
4. Enter the NVR ID# you set in step 2.
5. Press the ENTER button on the remote.
If the Status indicator on the front panel turns blue, the remote control is operating properly. If the Status
indicator does not turn blue and there is still no response from the remote, please check the following:
1. Batteries are installed correctly and the polarities of the batteries are not reversed.
2. Batteries are fresh and not out of charge.
3. IR receiver is not obstructed.
4. No fluorescent lamp is used nearby
If the remote still can’t function properly, please change a remote and try again, or contact the device provider.
