The IP805-M can be operated by either a traditional infrared (IR) remote control or an advanced
radio frequency (RF) remote control. While an infrared remote control unit (RCU) requires a clear
line of sight between the RCU and the front panel of the IP805-M, an RF RCU can transmit
commands to the IP805-M even if there are obstacles (such as a wall or furniture) between it
and the IP805-M. Using a standard wireless technology known as RF4CE (Radio Frequency for
Consumer Electronics) the IP805-M can be operated by an RF RCU if one has been provided by
your cable provider.
In order to use an RF RCU with the IP805-M, you must first pair the RCU with the IP850-M. The
pairing process enables the IP805-M and the RCU to discover each other so that the RCU may
transmit commands to the paired IP805-M. In order to avoid unexpected actions being triggered
by another RF RCU in the home, the IP805-M will only acknowledge and act upon commands
transmitted by a paired RF RCU, while ignoring all other commands transmitted by any other RF
RCU in the home. Please note that a traditional IR remote control does not require any such
pairing process.
If you need to manually pair your RF remote control with your IP805-M, please use the
procedures provided by your service provider.
