Pairing Optional RF Remote
In addition to using the built-in controls, this controller can be paired with a remote (DS-RT09).
To pair the remote, hold M and ► buttons for 2 seconds at which point the display will show “RLS”.
Within 5 seconds, press ON/OFF button on remote, at which point the display will show “RLO”
meaning the remote has been successfully paired. Hold M key for 2 seconds or allow the system
to timeout in 10 seconds to exit pairing. Maximum communication range is 98.4 ft (30 m) from
controller. Hold M and ► buttons for 5 seconds to unpair all remotes form the controller. Once
the remote is paired, you can hold the upper mode (mode plus) button for two seconds
to unlock preprogrammed standalone modes.
