RMT2-IR INSTALLATION
1. Remove battery cover from the back of the RMT2-IR remote.
2. Verify that dip switches 1 & 2 are in the down (OFF) position.
3. Insert the battery, hold the battery so that you can see the positive side facing up. The
side that is not marked must be facing down.
4. Test the RMT2-IR remote by pressing ONLY one button at a time. The indicator light
on the remote will fl ash once each time you press a button. WARNING: Do not press
multiple buttons simultaneously and do NOT press buttons rapidly. These actions will

second battery is complimentary.
The optional IR extender allows you to relocate your HDMI Switcher and still have IR
control of the HDMI Switcher

IR CODE CONFLICTS
How to Resolve IR Code Confl icts

and under the remote battery cover. Each has two switches which need to be matched for
the remote to work. There are 4 possible sets of IR codes and at least one of these sets
should be able to resolve any IR confl icts with other home theater devices.
