New and Metz 58 flash query

hello -I'm new to the forum but have been a Pentax user for about 7 years now. Currently using a K5. I'm limited in my knowledge of off camera flash. I use alien bees in my studio but haven't really done much with utilizing my Metz 58 AF-2 in a wireless mode. I'm having trouble with the directions from the (Metz) manual and hoping I could get some guidance. On page 138 19.2 - Activating the remote flash mode as controller, after I select "Remote" it consistently says "Remote Off" rather than setting to Remote. If I simply select the arrow key I *think* it may be set but then when I press Para the "Mode" button doesn't appear so that I can select "Control."

My apologies if this is an obvious answer but hoping I can get some clarification. This is an expensive flash to simply not be used to its fullest potential!

Thank you!
Amy
