Remote Setup
The DCI401MCS remote control communicates with the unit via a Radio Frequency (RF) signal.
Unlike typical infrared remotes (IR) the RF signal does not require a line of site between the
remote and the box. This allows the unit to be mounted in a discrete location without the need
for remote IR receivers. Since the RF signal could possibly send unwanted commands to nearby
boxes each remote needs to be assigned or paired to a unit.
At default (out of the box), The DCI401MCS remote has no TV codes programmed. All RC keys
will be transmitting RF4CE signals until the remote is set-up for sending TV IR codes.
When the DCI401MCS is initially powered on the first remote key pressed will result in a
request to pair the remote and DCI401MCS. Use the remote control number keys to enter the
code shown.
If it becomes necessary to re-pair the unit use the following steps:
1.
Press and hold the select and DTA Power buttons for approximately three seconds on the
remote until the red light comes on. Then release the buttons. This will bring up the
Remote Control Pairing screen as shown below.
2.
Enter the three digit code shown on the screen.
3.
Once complete you will see the confirmation screen.
The remote will now control only the DCI401MCS unit it has been paired to.
