When the unit is powered on, the following screen is displayed: After a few moments, the Standby Screen is displayed.
IR REMOTE DESCRIPTION RMT-8IR Remote Control Unit 1 2 1 Activity Indicator This LED will be activated momentarily each time a button is pressed. 2 Source / Monitor Selection Buttons (1 - 8) These buttons are used to select the source and monitor. See page 13 for information on using the IR Remote Control unit. NOTE: An Activity Indicator that flashes quickly while holding down any one of the 8 buttons indicates a low battery. Replace the IR Remote Control battery as soon as possible.
IR REMOTE INSTALLATION Installing the Battery 1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the IR Remote Control unit. 2. Insert the included battery into the open battery slot. The positive (+) side of the battery should be facing up. 3. Replace the battery cover. The Remote Control unit ships with two batteries. One battery is required for operation and the other battery is a spare. Empty Battery Slot CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
IR REMOTE CONFIGURATION How to Resolve IR Code Conflicts In the event that IR commands from other remote controls interfere with the supplied IR Remote Control unit, changing the IR channel on the IR Remote Control unit will fix the problem. The IR Remote Control unit has a bank of DIP switches used for setting the IR channel. The DIP switch bank is located underneath the battery cover.
USING THE IR REMOTE CONTROL UNIT IR Remote Control Key Mapping Each input and output on the 8x8 DVI Dual Link Matrix with Push Button Controls is represented by a button on the IR Remote Control unit.
