How to query the Remora transmitter to see what user-number is already programmed:
Press and hold both the up and down buttons for about 0.5 seconds. Release the buttons when you see the LED
change from dim green to flashing dim yellow.
The LED will flash dim yellow for about three seconds. Be careful not to touch any buttons while the LED is
flashing dim yellow as the remote is in the program mode during this time.
The flashing dim yellow LED will time out and will then go dark for a moment. Then the LED will recite the
user-number by flashing a string of GREEN (up) blinks, then a string of RED (down) blinks. The user-number
may range from the smallest value of 1 green, 1 red (1,1) up to a maximum of 7 green and 7 red (7,7). As you
can see, up to 49 different user-numbers are available.
Once the user-number readout event lapses, the remote falls back to normal operation.

How to change the user-numbers and re-pair the system:
Ordinarily there will seldom be a need to change the user-number. Changing the user-number requires a few
more ballet steps, as listed below. Some steps are time-window sensitive to help prevent pairing errors due to
interference from other signals on the radio channel.Please read over the list of required actions and LED
reactions completely before attempting to reprogram your Remora system user-number.
1. Make sure the Manley Shrimp, Neo-Classic 300B Preamplifier is plugged into the mains power line, but turned
off, and make sure that the battery in the Remora Remote transmitter is healthy. For the Steelhead, make sure its
power supply is powered up but the audio unit is in SLEEP mode.
2. Put the Remora Remote into the programming mode by pressing the up and down buttons simultaneously for
about a half second. The LED will blink yellow to indicate that it is in programming mode.
3. While the LED is blinking yellow, enter the new user-number by tapping the “UP” button 1 to 7 times, followed
by pressing the “DOWN” button 1 to 7 times. Example: 3 “ups” and 2 “downs” will set a new user-number to
(3,2). After it has accepted your new code, yellow blinking LED will stop blinking and will then read back the
new user-number you set by displaying 3 GREEN blinks followed by 2 RED blinks. BE CAREFUL NOT to
touch the buttons once the read-back has happened; the remote knows you have reprogrammed it, and it is
“armed” with a special data string to tell the receiver-decoder that a user-number change has happened.
4. With the Remora Remote in this “armed” state and with it in your hand with your thumb hovering over either
button, power on your Manley Shrimp or Neo-Classic 300B Preamplifier by turning the power switch to the
“ON” position, or turn on the SLEEP button on the Steelhead to awaken it. Once the preamplifier’s badge lamp
is lit, you have about 1.5 seconds to press either button on the remote. The preamplifier should now respond by
rotating the volume control in the direction of which ever button has been pressed. Pairing is now complete.
For the first 1.5 seconds after power-up, the Shrimp, Steelhead, or Neo-Classic 300B Preamplifier’s receiver-
decoder is configured to be in programming mode looking for any new user-number changes. If the decoder
detects the new user-number programming string from an “armed” remote during this 1.5 second interval, the
decoder will immediately discard the old user-number and adopt the new one before resuming normal operation.
In the event that you lose or damage your Remora Remote, a new one can be supplied pre-programmed with
your user-number if you provide it to us. Otherwise, it is a straightforward matter to observe, note, and re-pair
the Remora Remote’s user-number to the preamplifier using the query and programming procedure described
earlier.
