RCU contains an embedded micro gyro for motion sensing and in-air control of floating cursor. This RCU features an IR code database and IR learning capabilities to universally control standard home theater TVs. The RCU is also equipped with a 2.4 GHz RF transceiver to send cursor movement information and other commands to the PC via a built in transceiver. The radio frequency (RF) transceiver delivers a range of up to 100 feet with no line-of-sight requirement.

Programming the Remote The RCU can be programmed to operate many brands of remote-controllable TVs via the IR functions of the RCU. Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote To determine whether the remote needs to be programmed to operate your TV, do the following: 1. Turn on the TV. 2. Point the remote at the TV. 3. Press the TV button. 4. Press ON•OFF to see if the TV responds. If the TV doesn’t respond, you must program the remote to operate it.
Using Direct Entry 1. Turn on the TV you want to operate. 2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the TV in the Remote Code List at the end of this booklet. 3. Press and hold the TV button on the RCU. 4. Enter the 4-digit code from the Remote Code List. If all the mode buttons flash, you have either entered an invalid code or the button isn’t programmable. 5. Release the TV button, point the RCU at the TV, and then press the ON/OFF button to see if the TV responds to the command.
3) On the Gyration remote control unit, press and release the button where you want to store the new function (the TV button turns off and then back on). Note: If you press an invalid button on the remote, the TV mode button flashes 4 times to alert you. You’ll have to repeat step 3. 4) Position the source remote facing the bottom of the RCU no more than 2 inches apart [add picture below]. Press and hold the button of the source remote that has the functionality you are recording.
Let’s power it up and give it a try shall we! NOTE: THIS IS A REPRESENTATION OF THE LCD SHOWN HERE – ACTUAL VERSION WILL LOOK MORE LIKE THE DELL DJ When you press the ♫ button the LCD powers up with the backlight on, and the RCU downloads the top level menu structure from your WMP database. To move up and down the screen you use the up and down arrow keys.
To enter a menu level, use the right or OK buttons. To back out of a level, use the left button. You can play the whole album by pressing the Play button at this level, or enter the album and select a specific song. Notice as you navigate through the menu the heading changes on the top line. When a song is playing, you’ll see the same data on the screen that the Dell DJ shows, along with a progress bar, the current running time and the time left for that song.
LCD Characters Supported Japanese Characters Due to the limited resources in the RCU with memory and bandwidth, we will only be able to support the Hiragana and Katakana scripts. Romaji will only be supported using the standard ASCII character set (a..z, A..Z, 0..9 etc.). There may be room for about 35 Kanji characters but we will only use them if 2 conditions are met.
• When using the Learning feature, do the learning process in low light areas to prevent natural light and fluorescent light from interfering with the infrared signals. If the RF or gyro functions on your RCU don’t work properly… • • • • If the RCU does not appear to be working at all, it may not be connected or synchronized with the builtin RF transceiver. Repeat the Setting Up and Synchronizing the Remote and the Transceiver procedure above.
