How to change the user-numbers and re-pair the system:

Ordinarily there will seldom be a need to change the user-number. Changing the user-number requires a few 

more ballet steps, as listed below. Some steps are time-window sensitive to help prevent pairing errors due to 

interference from other signals on the radio channel.Please read over the list of required actions and LED reac-

tions completely before attempting to reprogram your Remora system user-number.

1. Make sure the Steelhead’s power supply is powered ON, but the audio unit is in SLEEP mode. Also make 

sure the batteries in the Remora Remote are healthy.

2. Put the Remora Remote into the programming mode by pressing the up and down buttons simultaneously 

for about a half second. The LED will blink yellow to indicate that it is in programming mode.

3. While the LED is blinking yellow, enter the new user-number by tapping the “UP” button 1 to 7 times, 

followed by pressing the “DOWN” button 1 to 7 times. Example: 3 “ups” and 2 “downs” will set a new user-

number to (3,2). After it has accepted your new code, yellow blinking LED will stop blinking and will then 

read back the new user-number you set by displaying 3 GREEN blinks followed by 2 RED blinks.  BE CARE-

FUL NOT to touch the buttons once the read-back has happened; the remote knows you have reprogrammed 

it, and it is “armed” with a special data string to tell the receiver-decoder that a user-number change has hap-

pened.

4. With the Remora Remote in this “armed” state and with it in your hand with your thumb hovering over 

either button, awaken the Steelhead from SLEEP mode by pressing the SLEEP button. Once the preampli

fi

 er’s 

badge lamp is lit, you have about 1.5 seconds to press either button on the remote. The preampli

fi

 er should 

now respond by rotating the volume control in the direction of which ever button has been pressed. Pairing is 

now complete.

For the 

fi

 rst 1.5 seconds after power-up, the Steelhead’s receiver-decoder is con

fi

 gured to be in programming 

mode looking for any new user-number changes. If the decoder detects the new user-number programming 

string from an “armed” remote during this 1.5 second interval, the decoder will immediately discard the old 

user-number and adopt the new one before resuming normal operation.

In the event that you lose or damage your Remora Remote, a new one can be supplied pre-programmed with 

your user-number if you provide it to us. Otherwise, it is a straightforward matter to observe, note, and re-pair 

the Remora Remote’s user-number to the preampli

fi

 er using the query and programming procedure described 

earlier.

Please direct any comments or questions to your dealer or to Manley Labs for further assistance.

**  FCC STATEMENT    **

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to 

part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-

ence in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and 

if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio com-

munications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If 

this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by 

turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the 

following measures:

* Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

* Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

* Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

* Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  

Operation with non-approved equipment is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. The user 

is cautioned that changes and modi

fi

 cations made to the equipment without the approval of manufacturer 

could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
