The Vaddio RF Remote Commander provides basic camera and conference
functionality – pan, tilt, zoom, presets, volume control, and muting, as applicable.
You can also use the remote to get the camera's IP address. This remote is a radio-
frequency device, and is not compatible with products that use IR (infrared)remotes.
Before you can use the RF remote, you will need to:
nInstall the batteries
nPair the remote with the camera
Installing the Batteries
The Vaddio RF Remote Commander uses two AAA batteries.
1. Remove the cover from the back of the remote. You may need to press down on
the inner edge while sliding it off.
2. Install the batteries as shown in the diagram in the battery compartment.
3. Slide and snap the cover back into place.
Pairing the Remote to the Camera
The camera does not recognize or respond to the remote until they are paired. Do
this after the camera is turned on and its status light is white.
To pair the remote using the camera’s IP button:
1. Press and hold the camera’s IP button until the status light blinks cyan.
2. While the camera’s status light blinks cyan, press the pairing button on the remote. The camera's
status light changes to steady white when the remote is paired. You may need to press the remote's
pairing button more than once.
3. If the status light changes color and keeps blinking, the pairing was not successful. Reboot the
camera and go back to step 1. If the problem persists, contact Vaddio Technical Support.
To pair the remote using the camera’s administrative web interface:
1. On the Pairing page of the web interface, select Pair Remote.
2. When the camera's status light blinks cyan, press and hold the pairing button on the remote until the
status light changes to steady white.
