The RCU Mode Selection buttons (TV, PC, CAB/SAT, and AUX) are lit when pressed;
these buttons light up (for 2-3 seconds) whenever they are pressed to indicate which Control
Mode the remote is in.
There is no automatic backlighting on any of the RCU buttons. The “Backlight” button
controls the backlight of the RCU buttons and the Display. Upon pressing the “Backlight”
button, the main RCU keys will be backlit. If the Display is active (by pressing the Display
button), the Display will also become backlit.
The backlight acts as a toggle and can also be used to turn off all backlighting. Additionally,
the backlighting will timeout after a short amount of time (timeout occurs after last button
pressed and the backlight turns off if no other button is pressed within 10 seconds).
If the backlighting seems dim, the batteries may need to be replaced.
Power / Standby Toggle Button
This button turns the selected device on or off or toggles its power state from standby to
active. The device is selected with the RCU Mode Switches; PC, TV, CAB/SAT, and AUX.
In PC mode, this button issues a standard Windows® STANDBY command. Various options
for this command can be set up in Windows. Go to Start/Control Panel/Power Options/
Advanced and then set a function for the STANDBY command. In the default configuration,
if the PC is already on, press this button to put the PC into standby mode. If the PC is in
standby mode, press and hold this button for 2 - 3 seconds to wake up the PC.

RF Receiver & Synchronization
Communication between the RCU and the PC is done via an RF transceiver which is plugged
into a standard USB port in the PC. In order for this to work, you need to synchronize, or
“bind” your remote and PC. See below for the binding procedure.
Receiver Installation
The RCU requires a USB RF transceiver be plugged into a USB port in the PC in order to
access RF and gyro functions. The USB extension cable can be used to maximize the range
of the RCU by placing the USB RF transceiver away from other electrical components. A
USB RF transceiver does not need to be plugged in to use the IR remote functions. See the
diagram below.
Setting Up & Synchronizing The
Remote & The PC
After inserting the batteries in the remote control unit,
1. Hold the remote in close proximity to the PC.
2. Press the CONNECT button on the RF Dongle transceiver which is plugged into
the PC USB port.
3. Press the CONNECT button on the underside of the RCU.
4. The Display screen on the RCU will indicate a successful connection.
5. If a successful connection is not made, repeat steps 1 - 3
