1. Remove battery cover from the back of the RMT4-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 RMT4-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
cause the remote to reset and steps 1-4 will have to be repeated.

DIP SWITCH GUIDE
if you are experiencing Infrared interference, you can change the IR code on the
Remote and the 4x1 HD-SDI Switcher itself.
To change the IR code on the RMT4-IR, simply remove the battery cover and fi nd the 2
dip switches just above the batteries. These switches correspond to a set of switches
on the 4x1 HD-SDI Switcher.
To change the IR code on the 4x1 HD-SDI Switcher, look under the unit and fi nd a
silver sticker. Beneath this sticker is a group of 4 dip switches. The fi rst 2 switches
(labelled 1 and 2) correspond to the 2 switches found on the RMT4-IR remote control.
The following are the 4 Infrared channels possible for both the RMT4-IR and the
4x1 HD-SDI Switcher. The dip switches on both the remote and the switcher itself must
match in order to be operational.
