REMOTE CONTROL
MODES

This remote operates in one
of two modes to control your
mini box (DTA).

IR MODE:

In infrared (IR) mode, the
remote relies on a direct line
of sight to control the mini
box (DTA) via infrared signals.
This remote is already set in IR
mode when you take it out of
the box.

RF MODE:

In radio frequency (RF) mode,
the remote does not require
a direct line of sight. This
allows you to hide the mini box
(DTA) behind your TV or in an
entertainment center. To set
the remote in RF mode, you
must pair the remote with the
mini box (DTA).

After the pairing is complete,
the remote will only control
the mini box (DTA) with which
it is paired. Please note that
using the remote in RF mode
requires you to have an RF
DTA or a mini box with an RF
adapter. If you do not have an
RF DTA or a mini box with an
RF adapter, then your remote
must be used in IR mode.

Note: When the remote is set
in RF mode, it will only control
your RF DTA (or mini box with
an RF adapter) without a line
of sight. To control the TV’s
volume and power functions,
you must always point your
remote at your TV.
