Using VMOD
Remote Control
Pairing
The VMOD Remote Control is designed for use anywhere in the vehicle,
and does not need to be pointed at the unit to function. No line of sight is
necessary for operation. Each VMOD remote may be paired to a single
VMOD unit at any given time.
For the VMOD Remote to function with a VMOD, it must be paired to
that VMOD. Pairing establishes communication between the remote and
the VMOD, and prevents cross-talk with any other VMOD units nearby. Your VMOD
Remote comes paired at the factory to the VMOD, however in the event you need to add
another remote control; you may perform this task from the Settings menu in VMOD.
If no VMOD Remote is paired, you will be unable to use the user interface. For this
reason, VMOD incorporates a feature that allows you to add a remote control when the
unit is powering up. When the VMOD starts up, it will wait a small period of time to
initiate remote auto pairing. During this time, it will display a message indicating to hold
both volume buttons. The message indicating to check the battery is a troubleshooting
suggestion only and does not indicate a detected malfunction. Holding down the volume
buttons is only necessary for 5 seconds as this will place the VMOD Remote in pairing
mode. It could take up to a minute for the pairing procedure to complete, however it is
not necessary to hold down the buttons for any additional time. If the unit is in auto-
pairing mode and any user input is received, such as the up or down arrows, the unit will
dismiss the auto pairing mode and further pairing may be accomplished through the
Settings menu.
Battery
Your VMOD Remote is powered by a single CR2032 Lithium Button-Cell
battery. A battery is included, and is protected by a small plastic tab that must be
removed before use. Replacement batteries are available from many retailers and are sold
as a watch battery.
The battery is conserved by powering down when the remote has not been in use for two
minutes. The remote will automatically power up when a key is pressed, however the first
keypress will not be acknowledged on the VMOD, and there could be a brief delay while
the VMOD Remote re-connects to the VMOD.
