Pairing the FD 100

56
The MP 2500 R can be controlled remotely using the FD 100 bi-directional radio
remote control handset if a Gateway module is installed; this is available as an
optional extra. The FD 100 features an integral full-colour screen which provides
a convenient means of controlling virtually all the MP 2500 R's functions, even
when there is no direct line-of-sight contact with it. The handset can also display
information relating to the selected source or the medium currently playing.
Since the FD 100 operates by a radio link, an aerial must be connected to the
MP 2500 R. This is connected to the socket on the MP 2500 R marked
'Remote'.
*
The aerial should be free-standing in order to obtain maximum
effective range.
Before the MP 2500 R can be controlled using the FD 100, the remote control
handset must first be registered to the MP 2500 R. This process is known as
pairing, and only has to be carried out once. The procedure is as follows:

Press the  button on the MP 2500 R to call up the Configuration
menu.

Rotate the SELECT knob on the front panel to select the "FD 100
pairing" menu item, and confirm your selection by pressing the
SELECT knob.

To confirm the pairing process of the FD 100, press the SELECT knob
until the menu entry changes to 'waiting for FD 100'. (the function
remains active for thirty seconds).

Locate the  button on the FD 100 and hold it pressed in to open
the FD 100's System Settings menu.

Now select the 'Start pairing' point, and press the  button: the
remote control handset automatically seeks the MP 2500 R.

Once the device is found, you will see in the display header the on-
screen message 'Pairing successful'. At the same time changes the
menu entry of the MP 2500 R to 'Done'. If you wish, you can change
the name of the device at this point (eg. 'Living room' if more than one
device is available).

Confirm the name with the  button.

For faster access the MP 2500 R can also be assigned to a Hotkey;
this is the next step (see FD 100 operating instructions).

Select one - or optionally none - of the 'F' buttons, and confirm your
choice by pressing the  button.

The FD 100 is now paired with the MP 2500 R, and is ready for use.
