RF Remote 

 

The RF remote makes it convenient to switch inputs at 
distances up to 75 feet. The buttons on the remote be-
have in the same manner as the Front Panel keypad but-
tons.  
 
To use your remote, make sure the DIP switch ID bits on 
both the CVD 5206/5216 and the CVD 550R match. 
They are both defaulted to be ‘0’ ‘0’ from the factory. 
 
A slide switch on the side of the remote is provided to 
greatly extend battery life when the remote is not in use. 
Set the slide switch to the ON position. Now, press a but-
ton. The display on the CVD 5206/5216 should change 
to match the button pressed. 
 
The DIP switch ID bits are provided in case you have 
multiple units and need to control them separately or all 
at once using the RF remote. The RF remote must be 
opened to change the ID bits. The ID bits on the CVD 
5206/5216 are externally accessible. When not using the 
remote, set the slide switch to the OFF position. 

RF Remote Battery Replacement 

 

To replace the battery, the case must be opened. Press 
on the tab of the battery holder to pop out the opposite 
end of the battery. Carefully remove. Carefully slide one 
end of the new battery under the tab. Gently press the 
battery into the socket. The battery is a 3V lithium coin 
type battery, CR2032 size.
