4.2 Backlight
When the RC is picked up, the pickup sensor will wakeup the RC. The RC will turn on the
backlight after a delay (See 5.1). The backlight will remain ON for a configurable timeout (See
5.1).
The timeout will restart if any valid key is pressed while the backlight remains on.

When the remote is stationary, and no keys are pressed (timeout from the last key pressed), the
backlight will turn OFF.
4.3 TV Input Key
When the TV Input Key is pressed, the navigation keys (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, OK) will
switch to IR mode for 5s (this value is configurable).
If any other key (such as MENU) is pressed before the 5s timeout, this will cancel the IR mode.
The navigation keys will revert to its previously operating mode.
4.4 IR Mode
The host can configure the Remote to enable / disable IR mode). This is meant to be used in
cases where the TV box can use CEC to control the TV; hence IR control is not needed for the
TV.
In the factory default state, the RCU should generate IR codes for the TV until/unless the TV box
sends a command to ‘Disable TV IR’.
4.5 Database Function & Learn Function
4.5.1 The Database key table
The RC has Database for TV device. The keys supporting the Database are described as below.
All the other keys will act the same as the RC in TV_BOX mode.

Feature
Key sequence
Learn
<<1+5>>, <learnable key>, <Exit>
Learnable key: TV_POWER, INPUT, VOL+, VOL-, MUTE, UP, LEFT, OK, RIGHT and DOWN.
The procedure is as following.
1. Press Digit 1 and Digit 5 simultaneously for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds the TV Power
key LED will blink twice and remain on. Release all keys.
2. Enter a learnable key, the TV Power key LED gives a short inverse blink. After the key
is released, the LED will start blinking.
3. Hold the source RC (in of sight) at an optimum distance (3cm to 6cm) and
continuously transmit the signal by pressing and holding the key from source RC that
you want to learn into the RC.
4. The LED gives 2 blinks and stays on if learning is successful and the new learnt codes
will replace the previous one. Release the key from the source RC.
The LED will give an error blink and stays on if the learning is failed. The previous key
code is kept.
5. User can learn other keys or retry learning on the same key by following step 2 to 5.
6. Press the <Exit> key to exit to the use-mode. After pressing the OK key, the LED will
turn off and return to use-mode.
Notes:
If no key is pressed within 30s after enter into the learn setup mode, the RC will
return to use-mode with an error blink to indicate time out.
If no signal for the RC to learn within 30s after pressing a learnable key, the RC will
return to use-mode with an error blink to indicate time out.
If the learnable key has been pressed for 30s, the RC will enter into Stuck Key Time-
out.
4.6 Pairing with TV Box
BT Pairing of RC with TV Box will take place in following 3 situations:
when RC and TV Box are out of the box and install for the 1st time
when existing RC is lost or broken and a new replacement RC is added
when TV Box is being replaced or reset, and added to work with existing RC
The RC interacts with the TV Box UI via IR, or BT.
By factory default or after a master reset, the RC does not contain any BT pairing information.
The RC will default to be in TV_BOX Mode. The RC will send TV_BOX IR Code.
In BT mode, the TV_BOX Power key will start to use RF until the BT link is disconnected (either
due to TV Box out of range or TV Box is off or TV Box is being replaced). BT pairing is described
in more detail at section BT Pairing.

Each RC should pair with 1 TV Box. When trying to pair a previously paired RC to a TV Box, the
previously paired information will be replaced on both the TV Box and RC.
Before pairing, the TV_BOX Power key will only send IR code.
After Pairing the TV_BOX power key will send both IR and BT.
All other keys will send BT codes.
4.6.1 BT Pairing (Out-of-the-box / Replacement RC)
When the batteries are inserted for the first time, the RC is not paired to any TV Box. To start
pairing, the following procedure applies.
1) If any key is pressed in TV_BOX mode (except <TV Power> and <Input>), the TV_BOX
IR codes will be sent. When there are no key presses for more than 1sec, the RC will
starts the Pairing Process.
2) The RC starts the pairing process by sending an IR Pairing Code to the TV Box
according to IR Pairing Code Format (See Appendix)
3) If the key press is the TV_BOX Power key, the RC will send the TV_BOX Power key IR
code. When the TV_BOX Power key is released, the RC will then send the IR Pairing
code.
4) The TV Box will start the pairing process on receiving the IR Pairing code.
5) If the pairing fails, the RC will goes to sleep mode.
6) If the pairing is ok, the TV_BOX will then send a Device ID (using RF) to the RC. The
RC can now control this TV Box only.
7) Subsequently, when the TV_BOX Power key is pressed, the IR code will contain the
Device ID and Command Code information (See Appendix).
The pairing process will timeout after 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, the RC will goes to sleep
mode. The RC will remain in an “unpaired” state.
4.6.2 BT Pairing (Replacement of TV Box or TV Box Reset)
1. The RC needs to be setup again in order to work with a new TV Box or TV Box is
resetted.
2. The user will need to press “OK” and Digit “2” key simultaneously for 3 seconds to start
the pairing process manually as below.
3. The RC starts the pairing process by sending an IR Pairing Code to the TV Box
according to IR Pairing Code Format (See Appendix).
4. The TV Box must check and confirm the data are correct with the Checksum.
5. The TV Box will then start the pairing process.
6. If the pairing fails, the RC will goes to sleep mode.
7. If the pairing is ok, the TV_BOX will then send a Device ID (using RF) to the RC. The
RC can now control this TV Box only.

8. Subsequently, when the TV_BOX Power Key is pressed, the IR code will contain the
Device ID and IR Command Code information (See Appendix).
9. The pairing will timeout after 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, the RC will goes to sleep
mode. The RC will remain in the “unpaired” state.
If the pairing fails, or pairing timeout, the RC will fall back to IR mode only. The user needs to do
re-pair by pressing and releasing any key or pressing <OK>and <2> keys (repeat step 2) with the
TV Box.
4.7 BT Link Disconnected
The BT Link could be disconnected, due to RF interference, RC out of range, or TV Box is off.
The RC can only detect a BT Link disconnection in Active or Standby Mode.
The RC may delete the pairing info, depending on the Configuration item (See 5.1). If the pairing
info is deleted, the RC will switch to IR mode, until the BT Link is reconnected again.
4.8 Wake To Listen
When the remote is paired, and RC is in sleep mode, the RC will wake up every 15 minutes
briefly to listen for any RF data from the host. If there is no RF data, the RC will return to sleep
for another 15 minutes.
4.9 Factory Reset
Pressing the key “DEL” and “TV BOX” together for 3 sec will erase the BT pairing information.
The “TV BOX” LED will blink to indicate successful reset.
Pressing the key “DEL” and “TV” together for 3 sec will erase all learn data, and Database
codeset. The “TV” LED will blink to indicate successful reset.
4.10 Power Management
The RC has 3 operating modes.
4.10.1 Active mode
In the active mode, the RC is either sending IR or RF code (depending on the Configuration).
4.10.2 Standby mode
RC idle but maintain BT link connection in low power sniff mode.
During STANDBY mode, BT link is still maintained with TV Box. Any keypress will set the RC
back to ACTIVE mode almost immediately. Once back to ACTIVE mode, the RC will execute the
key events.
4.10.3 Sleep mode
After remain in STANDBY for 60s, the RC will enter SLEEP.
Press any key or pickup up the remote will WAKE UP the RC to ACTIVE mode. When RC wakes
up from SLEEP, the Remote will attempt to reconnect to the host. There will be re-connection
latency depending on the BT link condition and RF interference of the surrounding. Once the BT
link has been established, the RC will execute the key events.

6. Firmware Updates (OAD)
When there is a new firmware available for the RC, the TV Box will check if the current RC
requires a firmware update. If the RC firmware is older, the TV Box will initiate the OAD process
by sending the Start OAD process command.
