Pairing
By default, all AirClicks work on the same “channel.” If you
have more than one AirClick Remote within range of an
AirClick Receiver Module, the Receiver will happily take
commands from both Remotes. Since you probably don’t
want this to happen, you can tell the Receiver to accept
commands only from a specifi c AirClick Remote through
a process called Pairing. Use Pairing whenever more than
one AirClick Remote will be used in the same area.
Can I use this AirClick Remote with an AirClick for iPod?
Absolutely. The AirClick Remote can control Receiver
Modules for AirClick, AirClick mini, and AirClickUSB.
Can I use multiple AirClicks in the same room/house?
Yes, but you‘ll want to “Pair” the AirClicks to prevent
unwanted commands from being sent or received.
(See Pairing.)
Turn Pairing On:
• Press the Pairing Switch on the Receiver Module
by inserting a straightened paper clip or similar
device. The LED on the Receiver will light up
• Press any button on the Remote within
fi ve seconds
• The LED on the Receiver will fl ash rapidly for
one second, indicating that Pairing was
successful
You‘ll fi nd the pairing button on the back of your receiver.
Turn Pairing Off:
To reverse the process, allowing the Receiver Module
to once again be controlled by any Remote Control,
simply use a straightened paper clip or similar device
to press the Pairing Switch on the Receiver Module. DO
NOT press any buttons on the Remote Control. After fi ve
seconds, the LED on the Receiver will turn off, and it will
again respond to any AirClick Remote Control.
Frequently Asked Questions
My AirClickUSB doesn’t seem to be accepting commands.
What can I do? First, make sure you have the AirClickUSB
software installed. Next, make sure that the application
you want to control is selected in the AirClickUSB application (see How Do I Use It?). If you have the Receiver
Module plugged into a USB port on a keyboard or hub,
try plugging it into a built-in USB port on your
Mac or PC.
Will I need to replace the battery? With normal use, the
AirClick Remote’s battery should last for the life of the
product. Should the battery need to be replaced, open
the Remote Control unit by removing the three
small screws, and replace with a CR2032-type
battery or equivalent.
