A strong source of IR noise/interference, such as a Plasma TV, may be the cause.
Try moving Manta TR1 to reduce its exposure to interference. A piece of white paper over
the Manta TR1 lens may work to block the interference. Other sources of IR interference
can include some fluorescent lamps, backlights in some LCD monitors/TVs or direct sunlight.

FAQ
Troubleshooting
Q
Make sure Manta TR1 is plugged into a USB port on the Mac or Boxee Box, not a keyboard,
display or unpowered hub.
For Mac OS, install one of the supported driver/action programs mentioned in the requirements.
For Boxee Box, make sure to update to the latest software. (Minimum version 1.1)
If using a universal remote, make sure it is set with correct/working button codes.
The remote’s battery may be low, recharge or replace with a new one.
Make sure only one supported driver/action program is installed, as only one can access
Manta TR1 at a time. If using Mira, remove Remote Buddy using its uninstall feature.
Confirm the file “/System/Library/Extensions/RBIOKitHelper.Kext” is also removed.
Universal remotes do not support the pairing feature of the Apple Remote.
The remote’s battery may be low, replace with a new one.
Q
The remote control will not “Pair” or actions do not always work.
