The DCX3600-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 DCX3600-M, an RF RCU
can transmit commands to the DCX3600-M even if there are obstacles (such as a wall or
furniture) between it and the DCX3600-M. Using a standard wireless technology known as
RF4CE (Radio Frequency For Consumer Electronics) the DCX3600-M can be operated by an RF
RCU if one has been provided by your MSO.
In order to use an RF RCU with the DCX3600-M, you must first pair the RCU with the DCX3600-
M. The pairing process enables the DCX3600-M and the RCU to discover each other so that the
RCU may transmit commands to the paired DCX3600-M. In order to avoid unexpected actions
being triggered by another RF RCU in the home, the DCX3600-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 or unpair your RF remote control with your DCX3600-M, please use
the procedures detailed below.
RF4CE Remote Paring and Un-Pairing Instruction:
Pairing:
1. Entering pairing mode with the pairing keycode sequence (IR command): the
POWER key is pressed and released and then INFO key is pressed within two
seconds and released.
2. "PAIr" will be displayed on the front panel display during the pairing process.
3. Display "X Pr" on the LED display for five (5) seconds after completing the pairing
process. (Note: the left most digit "X" of the display is the number of the just-paired
remote control stored in the pairing table of the product.The digit "X" can range
from 1 to 9. For example, for the second remote control being paired with the
product, the "X" will be 2 and the LED display shall be "2 Pr").
4. The pairing mode will terminate if no RF4CE pairing request is received during the
first thirty (30) seconds after entering pairing mode.
5. If the pairing process fails (described in #4), "FAIL" will be displayed on the front
panel display for five (5) seconds after the pairing process terminated.
Un-Pairing:
1. Entering Un-Pairing mode with unpairing keycode sequence:the POWER key is
pressed and released and then EXIT key is pressed within two seconds and
released.
