2. RF Functions
2.1 RF Pairing
1) Make sure RC is within 1m distance from the STB and no other RF RCs are present.
2) Make sure the Qwerty keyboard faces upwards.
3) Press and hold Keyboard W and Keyboard O keys together for at least 5 seconds.
4) The KEYBOARD LED will start blinking, and RC is now in pairing mode.
5) Activate pairing mode on STB (STB sends activate command or reset dongle power).
6) Once the pairing is successful, the KEYBOARD LED will be turned off; otherwise, the KEYBOARD
LED will stay lit till timeout.
There will be a 30 seconds timeout for RC to be in pairing mode. Previously paired receiver shall be
retained as long as the STB did not initiate the pairing. See Note below on different pairing scenarios.
User can start from Step 1 again if pairing failed.
Note:
When a previously paired RC starts pairing with
1. Different receiver
o Only upon successful pairing, the RC shall replace the previously paired receiver with the new
receiver.
o If the pairing process fails or pairing timeout occurs, the previously paired receiver will be retained.
2. Same receiver
o Previously paired information of the same receiver shall first be erased from the RC before pairing
process starts.
o If the pairing process fails or pairing timeout occurs, the previously paired receiver will not be
retained.
At any one time,
Only one RC is allowed to be in pairing mode, i.e. no concurrent pairing is allowed.
Each RC can only work with one receiver, i.e. 1-to-1 pairing.
2.2 RF Un-Pairing
The following steps for un-pairing:
1) Make sure the Qwerty keyboard faces upwards.
2) Press and hold Keyboard X and Keyboard UP keys together for at least 5 seconds.
3) The KEYBOARD LED will start blinking slowly after 5 seconds.
4) Reset the power or battery and the RC is ready to pair again.
2.3 Remote Idling, RF Link Timeout with connection
When detected no activity, the RC will enter SLEEP mode. During SLEEP mode, RF link will be
disconnected to preserve power. Pressing any key or any gesture action will resume the RC to
ACTIVE mode almost immediately. The key-press that resumes the RC from SLEEP mode will be
remembered and transmitted.
When the RC wakes up from SLEEP mode, there may be reconnection latency depending on the RF
link condition with the receivers.
Once the RF (2.4G) link has been established, the RC will execute upon ANY key-press. Key presses
prior to successful RF link connection will not be transmitted.

3. Operational Features
3.1 Mode Switch
3.1.1 RC to Keyboard
When in RC mode, KEYBOARD keys will be locked to prevent accidental presses. KEYBOARD keys
can only be unlocked by tilting 90 degrees clockwise or anticlockwise. Once tilted more than 90
degrees, mouse cursor will stop moving if it is in Mouse mode.
If KEYBOARD keys are faced up upon power up, a command will be sent from the RC.
3.1.2 Keyboard to RC
When in KEYBOARD mode, user can change to RC mode by tilting 90 degrees clockwise or
anticlockwise. When in KEYBOARD mode, RC keys will be locked to prevent accidental presses.
Once tilted more than 90 degrees, mouse cursor will start moving if it is in Mouse mode.
If RC keys are faced up upon power up, a command will be sent from the RC.
3.2 Remote IR Keys
TV POWER, VOL+, VOL-, MUTE and AV are IR command keys. With RC side faced up and in a
portrait orientation, pressing these buttons will fire the respective IR codes from the IR LED of the
remote control.
3.3 Remote RF keys
Remote RF keys will be sent in the form of HID Keyboard keys.
3.4 Motion Control Mouse Mode

3.4.1 Mouse Mode
Default mode for mouse mode = OFF when first power up or upon a power recycle.
There will be LED indication on TV POWER button on the activation and deactivation of motion
sensor.
Mouse mode will be disabled if user entered programming mode, i.e. IR Learning with mouse mode
ON; user needs to press MOUSE key again if mouse function is needed after exiting programming
mode.
Downstream command from host can also toggle Mouse mode ON/OFF. Both MOUSE (TOGGLE)
key and downstream command have equal priority, hence the last trigger will supersede previous
state.
- Mouse mode code will be sent upon a reset cycle either during power recycle or watchdog reset.
- Mouse mode code will be sent when user pressed the MOUSE key
- Mouse mode code will be sent after each downstream command
- Mouse mode code will be sent after any other feature (e.g. IR Learning mode) that changes Mouse
ON/OFF state.
3.5 Keyboard Mode
The Qwerty keyboard will be held by both hands and used in landscape orientation.
The keyboard also supports secondary keys by using FN, CAPS or Alt Gr; this allows the keyboard
to support uppercase characters, symbols and digits with the limited number of Qwerty keys.
There are 2 ways of activating secondary keys:
1. Press and release FN or CAPS or Alt Gr key followed by pressing another key. For example, press
FN then Q will send „1‟, press CAPS then Q will send „Q‟. After Q is released and pressed again,
„q‟ will be sent.
2. Press and hold FN or CAPS or Alt Gr key followed by pressing another key. For example, press
and hold FN and then press Q will send „1‟, press and hold CAPS and then Q will send „Q”.
As long as the secondary key is pressed and held, the secondary character will have the same
repeating behavior as the normal primary key „press and hold‟.
To minimize accidental presses of the Qwerty keys while in RC or Mouse Cursor Control, the Qwerty
keys will be deactivated. When not in SLEEP mode and the keyboard side is detected faced down,
the Qwerty keys will be locked, key presses on the keyboard will be ignored. When device is not in
SLEEP mode and the keyboard side is detected faced up, the Qwerty keys are unlocked.
3.5.1 Other Key Codes
When “ALTGr” + “Space” is pressed, F10 key code will be sent from the RC.

The SYSTEM POWER LED shall fast blink 3 times if the learning fails. Previously learned code
will be kept. TV POWER LED will turn OFF.
Go back to Step 2 to select learnable key again.
5 User can learn other keys by repeating Steps 2 to 4.
6 Press “BACK” Key in IR Learning mode and will exit to normal mode.
Error handling:
1. If a wrong key is pressed at Step 2, SYSTEM POWER LED will fast blink 3 times and go back
to Step 2.
2. If any stuck key(s) occurs in any of the learning sequence, SYSTEM POWER will fast blink 3
times, exit IR Learning mode and enter Stuck Key mode.
Please take note of the following points when performing infrared (IR) Learning:
1. The remote will NOT exit IR Learning mode, except for the following occurrences:
1. If no key is selected within 30 seconds after entering IR Learning mode.
2. If stuck key timed out.
3. If “BACK” Key is pressed.
2. After pressing and releasing a learnable key and waiting for the signal to be learned:
1. If there is no signal received within 30 seconds, SYSTEM POWER LED shall fast blink 3
times to indicate learning had failed and exits IR Learning mode.
2. If the same key is pressed again (See Section 7.2), SYSTEM POWER LED will slow blink 2
times and wait for a new key-press (go back to Step 2 to select a learnable key again).
3. If any other key is pressed, SYSTEM POWER LED will fast blink 3 times and wait for a new
key-press (go back to Step 2 to select learnable key again).
3. The TV POWER LED will always be ON during IR Learning mode while waiting for a key input
or signal to be learned.
4. When IR learning is in progress, RF functions are disabled (e.g. keys on KEYBOARD side are
locked). Only after exiting from IR Learning mode, the RF functions are resumed.

4.2 Infrared (IR) Learn Function – Reset
While in IR Learning mode, by pressing the same learnable key twice, the key will revert to default
(i.e. no code).
The user shall also be able to reset all the 5 keys to the default setting.
This is done by pressing the “VOL-” key and “SCROLL-” key simultaneously for 3 seconds. SYSTEM
POWER key will turn ON and user has to release all keys. The RC starts erasing all learned data and
returns to its original settings; i.e. before any learning was performed. Upon successful erasure,
SYSTEM POWER LED will give 2 slow blinks, otherwise 3 fast blinks to indicate failure.
4.3 Infrared (IR) Database
Follow the key sequences below to invoke the Database Programming feature to program a codeset
for a particular brand of TV:
Step Database Programming Sequence
1 Turn on the TV device.
2 Press and hold “SCROLL+” and “SCROLL-” keys for 3 seconds. SYSTEM POWER LED stays
ON; RC enters Database Programming mode. Release the keys.
3 Database Scanning
Aiming the remote control at the TV device IR receiving opening, press and hold “UP” key to
transmit PowerToggle IR command for the (n+1) universal codeset in the codeset list, where n
is the programmed TV codeset prior to Database Programming mode. If there is no TV codeset
programmed, the first codeset in the list will be transmitted. During transmission of the IR
command, the TV POWER LED will turn ON. When the IR transmission completes for the
codeset under scan, the TV POWER LED will turn off and no new IR command will be sent over
the next 1.5 seconds approximately. If the TV does not turn off, the user will need to keep
pressing the “UP” key and the remote control will then try the next universal codeset in the list.
4 When the TV turns off, the user shall release the “UP” key to stop IR transmission.
The user can now try pressing each of the 5 IR keys to check if the underlying IR codes works
with the TV device.
At this point, the user can select to proceed with the following steps:
1. Continue Database scanning – Step 3
2. Step codeset Forward – Step 5
3. Step codeset Backward – Step 6
4. Program codeset into RC and Exit – Step 7
5. Exit – Step 8
5 Step codeset Forward
Press and hold “RIGHT” key. This will step to the next codeset where it has left off. The
PowerToggle IR command will be transmitted as long as the key is pressed. When user release
and press “RIGHT” key again, the PowerToggle IR command of the next codeset will be
transmitted.
6 Step codeset Backward
Press and hold “LEFT” key. This will step to the previous codeset where it has left off. The
PowerToggle IR command will be transmitted as long as the key is pressed. When user release
and press “LEFT” key again, the PowerToggle IR command of the previous codeset will be
transmitted.
7 Program codeset into RC and Exit
Press and release “OK” key. The codeset from the last transmitted IR commands will be
programmed into RC. Upon completion, the SYSTEM POWER LED will give 2 slow blinks to
indication success, otherwise, 3 fast blink to indicate failure and exits to normal mode.
8 Exit
Press and release “BACK” key. No codeset will be programmed into RC. No LED indication will
be given and the RC exits to normal mode.

Please take note of the following points when performing the Database Scanning function:
1. The remote will NOT exit the Database Scanning mode, except for the following occurrence:
1. If no key selected within 30 seconds.
2. If stuck key timed out (not applicable for pressing “UP” key).
3. If “BACK” key is pressed.
4. If “LEFT” key is pressed after the 1st codeset in the search had last transmitted.
5. If “RIGHT” key is pressed after the last codeset in the search had last transmitted.
2. If failed to program codeset in Step 7, the previous programmed codeset (if any) will be
retained.
3. If the PowerToggle IR command for all codesets in the list is transmitted in Step 3, the TV
POWER LED will give 10 fast blinks to indicate “End-Of-Search”.
4. When database scanning is in progress, RF functions are disabled (e.g. keys on KEYBOARD
side are locked). Only after exiting from Database Programming mode, the RF functions are
resumed.
5 The learn codes or default IR codes (RC6 Mode 6A) underlying each of IR keys will be replaced
with the IR codes from the valid codeset ID being programmed into the RC.
4.4 Infrared (IR) Factory Reset
The user is able to reset all the IR keys back to factory default settings. These keys will transmit the
default IR code (RC6 Mode 6A).
This is done by pressing the “MUTE” key and “AV” key simultaneously for 3 seconds. SYSTEM
POWER key will turn ON and user has to release all keys. The RC starts erasing all learned data and

5. Non-Functional Requirements
.
5.1 Simultaneous Key Press (RC)
If more than one key-press is detected, the remote control will stop sending IR/RF code.
Example:
i. When Key 1 is pressed, Key 1 code is transmitted. Pressing Key 2, with Key 1 still pressed, RC will
stop transmitting Key 1 code. Then, releasing Key 2, with Key 1 still pressed, Key 1 code will be
transmitted again.
ii. When Key 1 is pressed, Key 1 code is transmitted. Pressing Key 2, with Key 1 still pressed, RC will
stop transmitting Key 1 code. Then, releasing Key 1, with Key 2 still pressed, Key 2 code will be
transmitted.
5.2 Simultaneous Key Press (Keyboard)
The remote control supports multiple key-presses but only limited keys are able to do so. When two
or more keyboard keys that do not support simultaneous press are pressed simultaneously, the
remote will not send any code. When only one key remains pressed, the remote will restart and send
the code of this key as per normal.
Workable 2-keys simultaneous key-presses are:
- CAPS with any alphabets (uppercase of the alphabets)
- FN with Blue option keys (numbers and symbols, etc.)
- Alt Gr with Orange option keys (special characters and other symbols, etc.)
5.3 Consecutive Key Press (Keyboard)
When FN key is pressed or still pressed, the RC will not transmit code or do any action. After release
and then press any keys that have an alternate function on the same key, e.g. Q key shares the same
as numeric „1‟ key, the RC will transmit numeric „1‟ code.
E.g. FN key + Q key = Numeric „1‟ key is transmitted
FN key + A key = Symbol „?‟ key is transmitted
The same is true for CAPS and Alt Gr keys. For example, after release of the CAPS key, an alphabet
key is pressed; the RC will transmit the uppercase letter of the particular key.
5.4 LED Indicator
Blinking Definition
Fast Blink (IR Learn): approximately 50ms ON, then OFF.
Slow Blink (IR Learn): approximately 500ms ON, then OFF.
Short Blink: approximately 10ms ON, then OFF.
Long Blink: approximately 500ms ON, 500ms OFF.
5.5 Stuck Key Timeout
Stuck Key means that a button has been pressed for a very long time in normal operating mode.
To preserve battery power, the remote will stop sending code (IR and RF) and shut down at about 30
seconds after the last key transition to consume minimal power. After all keys are released, the
remote resumes normal operation.
Exceptions: Mouse Left Click, navigation keys and “OK” key will not have Stuck Key timeout in normal
operation mode. In setup/programming mode, these keys will have stuck key timeout.
Typical Stuck Key timeout is around +/- 20% tolerance, except for IR with exceptional long repeat
timings or RF long latency.
The application will have some mechanism to stop mouse data transmission to save battery life.
In TV Control Setup, there are situations where a key is allowed to be pressed for longer than the
Stuck Key timeout.

5.6 Auto-repeating
All the buttons have auto-repeat function, that is, when a key is continually pressed, the RC will
transmit the corresponding code until the 30 seconds Stuck Key timeout.
5.7 Low Voltage Detection
The RC comes with three 1.5V batteries working in series to give a total maximum of 4.5V ~ 4.8V.
The depletion of the battery power will be in 2 stages. LED blinking is dependent on the remote
control side, red LED for RC side, amber LED for KEYBOARD side.
Note: The Remote will only check for low voltage after it goes to sleep and wakeup, OR every 3s
interval while the Remote is active.
1) Stage 1, Working voltage (4.8V to 3.3V)
All keys and functions will work as normal.
2) Stage 2, Very Low voltage (3.3V and below)
Very Low voltage detection triggers from 3.3V and below.
RC LED gives 2 long blinks in red each time a valid RC key is pressed
KEYBOARD LED gives 2 long blinks in amber each time a keyboard key is pressed
No IR or RF codes will be sent from the RC.
Note: All the voltages have a 0.05V tolerance.
