DESCRIPTION:

When using a FireFly remote within range of more than one FireFly receivers, one remote control will affect both computers. This occurs because the FireFly remote by default transmits on "channel 9" and the FireFly receiver by default accepts transmissions on ALL "channels." This article describes how to change the "channels" of the FireFly remote and of the receiver.

ARTICLE:

1) Start by going to the SETTINGS menu in Firefly, or the SETTINGS --> FIREFLY SETTINGS menu in Beyond Media (Basic).

2) Select the "Remote Channel" setting and use the LEFT / RIGHT buttons on your remote to change the "Channel" value. Valid selections for this option are 1 through 16 and "all channels," which is the default.

3) When you have selected the "Channel" you desire, hit the OK button on the FIreFly remote.

4) The on-screen instructions will guide you the rest of the way. If for some reason they do not display or are accidentally skipped:

a) Press and hold the FireFly button on your remote until the LED begins to flash slowly. Release the Firefly button. The number of times the LED flashes is the current remote ID (or "channel number").

b) The LED will remain lit. Using the FireFly remote, enter the number you selected in the previous menu, and press the FireFly button.
The LED will then flash that many times, confirming the setting.
