Features and Benefits: The TRC-820 is one of URC’s most advanced devices that is optimized for usage with Total Control 2.0. Enjoy these key features: Updated User Experience: This device has the capability of using URC’s Total Control 2.0 software suite. Using this software provides this device with a modern “look and feel” giving the end-user an improved user experience in terms of graphics, performance, and features.
Before Getting Started: The TRC-820 remote control is only to be used with an MRX Advanced System Controller. This device can control a Total Control 2.0 system without being in line-of-sight of the equipment by sending the commands over the home network. To fully automate the audio/video system, the programmer must have detailed knowledge of each component, LAN configuration, Wi-Fi optimization and how the system is connected and operated.
Using the TRC-820: The TRC-820 Main Menu pages display the activities and/or device programmed into the system. Press the Main button to view those activities/or devices. Large systems may have more than one page. Select either Page buttons to view additional pages. 4 5 Once within a device or activity, the Page buttons reveal additional buttons. Press any button adjacent to the screen to select an activity and/or device. Below are detailed descriptions of the available buttons and features: 1.
Available View Modes: With Total Control 2.0, there are two (2) ways to view the Main Menu. Either view type must be programmed by a custom installer: ● Ribbon View: This is the default layout of the TRC-820’s interface. It holds a maximum of three (3) items per page. ● Grid View: This alternate view mode must be set by the system programmer. It holds up to a maximum of six (6) items per page.
Shortcut Popup Menu: Press the Shortcuts button, as explained on page 3, to display the Shortcuts Popup Menu. This menu can hold up to six (6) items.

To add an item to this menu perform the following: 1. Locate a blank/available button space. 2. Press and hold that available space for approximately three (3) seconds.
Using the Shortcut Popup Menu: After items have been added to the Shortcut Popup Menu, it is easy to launch devices/activities. To do so just press the LCD button assigned to the device/activity to launch. This sends out the macro assigned to the device/activity and jumps the TRC-820 to that menu for control. Removing Shortcuts: The process of removing an item from the Shortcuts Popup Menu is similar to adding one. To do so, follow these steps from within the Shortcuts Popup Menu: 1.
Scenes Menu: This feature is unique to Total Control 2.0 and can be customized by the system programmer. Scenes provide the end-user with quick and easy access to commonly used activities or can be used to set a particular room into a specific mode/scene.

Speak with the system programmer for specific ideas or request for the Scenes Menu.
