Th  e remote control included with the display can be used 
to control up to 26 individual monitors using what is 
called the REMOTE CONTROL ID mode. Th e REMOTE 
CONTROL ID mode works in conjunction with the Monitor 
ID, allowing control of up to 26 individual monitors. For 
example: if there are many monitors being used in the same 
area, a remote control in normal mode would send signals to 
every monitor at the same time Figure 1. Using the remote 
in REMOTE CONTROL ID mode will only operate one 
specifi c monitor within the group Figure 2.

While holding down the REMOTE ID SET button on the 
remote control, use the KEYPAD to input the Monitor ID 
(1-26) of the display to be controlled via remote. Th e remote 
can then be used to operate the monitor having that specifi c 
Monitor ID number.
When 0 is selected or when the remote control is in normal 
mode, all monitors will be operated.
