Manhattan T4
Manhattan T4 > Your T4 Remote

Remote Pairing

Pair your remote to prevent interference with other Manhattan devices

If you use more than one compatible Manhattan product in the same room, one remote may control more than one box.

You can prevent this by pairing each remote and box on a different remote channel. This helps make sure each box responds to the remote you intend to use with it.

This allows you to:

  • Use up to nine T4, T4•R or S4•R boxes in the same room without them interfering with each other.
  • Use up to eight T4, T4•R or S4•R boxes in the same room as a T2•R, T3 or T3•R without interference.
Pair your remote and box

While your T4 is turned on:

  1. Press and hold and a number button (1−9) on the T4 remote for 3 seconds.
  2. A message will confirm: ​“The remote and box are paired on remote channel X”.

To change the remote’s channel without changing the box’s channel, press and hold P‑UP and a number button (0−9) for 3 seconds. This lets you use one remote to control multiple Manhattan boxes on different channels.

Return to universal mode

To unpair your remote and box, set them to channel 0:

  1. Press and hold and 0 on the T4 remote for 3 seconds.
  2. A message will confirm: ​“The remote and box are in universal mode.”
Check the channel setting

While your T4 is turned on:

  1. Press and hold and at the same time for 3 seconds.
  2. The T4 will show its channel number on screen.
  3. The remote’s standby button will flash blue to show the remote’s channel:
    • The number of flashes matches the channel number, for example 5 flashes for channel 5.
    • Solid blue for 3 seconds means channel 0, which is universal mode.
Compatibility with other Manhattan devices
Channel 0, universal mode

When a remote or box is set to channel 0, it will work with compatible Manhattan devices regardless of pairing.

On channel 0, a T4 will also respond to T2•R, T3 and T3•R remotes.

When you factory reset a T4, the box returns to channel 0, but the remote keeps its channel setting. Because channel 0 is universal, they will still work together.

Channels 1 – 9

Channel 1 is used by the T2•R, T3 and T3•R. If you pair your T4 on channel 1, it will respond to those older remotes, and your T4 remote will control those older boxes.

If you’re using older Manhattan devices in the same room as your T4, pair your T4 on channels 2 – 9 to avoid interference.
