Welcome Thank you for purchasing the M2 universal system controller. The M2 combines the power and flexibility of a graphic LCD display with an ergonomic design that permits effortless one-handed operation. This design overcomes the need for a compromise between form and function. Sleek and perfectly balanced, the M2 is infinitely flexible and expandable. The M2 takes complete control of your home electronics, replacing all other remotes. It features an intuitive, easy to read LCD that can display custom text, graphics, symbols, and icons. In addition to the backlit display, 33 “Hard” keypad buttons allow easy access to frequently used functions. Programming is easy and convenient thanks to the Windows® based TheaterTouch Designer™ software. Because RTI’s remote control products are sold only through professional installers/programmers, and never directly to consumers, it is our philosophy to not incorporate programming capability directly into our products. Instead, we are committed to providing our dealers with the hardware and software tools that allow them to create re-usable programming databases and templates in the most efficient and reliable way possible. The M2 is capable of both infrared and radio frequency output. Optional RF receivers are available for transmission through walls and cabinets. The RF receivers connect to an RTI control system for the ultimate in control reliability and flexibility. RTI control systems can provide many advanced features such as IR routing, local macro execution, power sensing, and RS-232 control. COMPATIBILITY NOTE The M2 and TheaterTouch Designer software are compatible with infrared (IR) commands with carrier frequencies between 15KHZ and 460KHZ, as well as those commands that do not use a carrier. This covers virtually all of the remotes that exist to date. M2 Universal System Controller UNPACKING AND INSPECTION After unpacking your new M2 universal system controller, save all of the packing materials in case you ever have to ship the unit. Thoroughly inspect the M2 and packing materials for signs of damage. Report any damage to the carrier immediately. Report any equipment malfunctions to Remote Technologies Incorporated or an authorized Remote Technologies Incorporated distributor.

IMPORTANT NOTES Please read these important notes about the M2: § The M2 should be placed in an area where it is around normal room temperature (between 60°F to 90°F). If the temperature is too hot, the display appears dim. If the temperature is too cold, the display appears dark and may respond slowly. § Do not let the M2 get wet. It should not be handled with wet hands or placed in an area where it could get wet. § Do not subject the M2 to smoke, dust, or vibrations. The display may be damaged from excessive shock or vibration. § Do not disassemble the unit. Service of the M2 should be performed by authorized personnel only. § Use only high capacity primary (non-rechargeable) batteries. Alkaline batteries, such as those included with the M2, should provide several months of operation before requiring replacement. CLEANING Occasional cleaning may be required, depending on use. To clean your M2, lightly dampen a lint-free cloth with a glass cleaner or mild detergent, and wipe the display, keypad and outer surfaces. Introduction GETTING STARTED Start by inserting four AAA batteries (included) into the battery compartment. Make sure they are oriented properly. A polarity diagram is molded into the bottom of the battery compartment. The M2 is turned-on by touching any keypad button. If the tilt sensor is enabled, picking up the unit will also turn it on.

Operation THE LCD DISPLAY The M2 display is organized as a series of pages and frames. A page consists of one to nine frames, and only one frame is displayed on the screen at a time. Normally each frame on a page contains objects (text, graphics, etc.) that are related in some way. For instance, they may all display information necessary for controlling a particular DVD player. By default, the M2 has one Home page—all other pages are normally accessed from links on the Home page. In addition, any button on any page can contain a link to any other page when selected. Normally the Home page is used to display the names of the equipment being controlled. The M2 will support 200 pages including the Home page; each page can consist of up to 9 frames. A representation of a programmed Home page is shown below: By default, pressing the HOME button at any time will return you to this page. It is possible, however, to program the Home button to behave differently if desired. M2 Universal System Controller THE CONTROL PANEL PAGE The Control Panel page can be displayed by pressing and holding the backlight button continuously for 3 seconds. You can also access the Control Panel page by assigning a “Control Panel” page link to a button using the TheaterTouch Designer software. The Control Panel consists of the following two frames: To change frames, press the next page button below the display. To return to the user program, press the Home button. 10 Operation ADJUST CONTRAST This selection displays a window that allows you to adjust the LCD contrast. Press the Left Arrow or Right Arrow soft buttons to adjust. Press either of the OK soft buttons to close. BEEPER This selection displays a window that allows you to turn the audible beep on or off. The beeper provides feedback that a button was pressed. Press either of the OK soft buttons to close. TIME OUT This selection displays a window that allows you to adjust the amount of time the unit stays awake after the last button press. The time is variable from 1 second to 60 seconds (the default is 10 seconds). Press the arrow soft buttons to the left or right of the Time Out setting to adjust the time. Press either of the OK soft buttons to close. 11 M2 Universal System Controller TILT SWITCH This selection displays a window that allows you to adjust the settings for the built-in tilt switch. The tilt switch is a motion detector that turns the remote on when activated. On means the tilt switch is active and will wake up the M2 when it is moved. Off means the tilt switch is inactive. Press either of the OK soft buttons to close. CHANGE PASSCODE This selection displays a window that allows you to set the passcode that is used to limit access to the Clear All function in the Control Panel, as well as the Secured property that can be assigned to any button. When you select the CHANGE PASSCODE function, the screen will prompt you to enter the old passcode using the numeric keypad buttons. Press the ENTER keypad button after entering the numbers. (The default code is 0000). 12 Operation Now enter a new four-digit passcode. You will be prompted to enter the new four-digit passcode again for confirmation. When new code is entered successfully, the “Code Changed” window will pop up to let you know you have changed the passcode. Do not forget the passcode! 13 M2 Universal System Controller CLEAR ALL This selection displays a window that will allow you to erase the current user program in the M2. You will be prompted to enter the current passcode. If the proper code is entered, the entire user program in the M2 will be erased. Warning! This will erase the entire user program in the M2. Once this is done there is no way to restore it, except by reloading the program from the TheaterTouch Designer software! If you inadvertently select the CLEAR ALL function, simply press the ENTER keypad button without entering the passcode and you will be returned to the Control Panel page. 14 Operation LOW BATTERY INDICATOR If the M2 battery capacity is reduced to approximately 25 percent, a low battery icon will appear in the lower left side of the display: Low Battery Icon At this point the M2 batteries should be replaced to maintain optimum performance. PROGRAMMING THE M2 The M2 is programmed using RTI’s TheaterTouch Designer software. RTI dealers can download the software free of charge from: www.rticorp.com/dealers A PC running Windows® 98SE or higher with a USB port is required. The required USB cable is included with the RTI IR-PRO dealer kit. 15 M2 Universal System Controller Note: The M2 will not operate normally while connected to a PC’s USB port. Make sure you disconnect it from the PC to navigate pages or transmit commands. In addition, the M2 will not be able to sync with a PC’s USB port while it is transmitting a command or running a macro. 16 Chapter 4. Troubleshooting If you are having problems with your M2, please read these troubleshooting tips before contacting technical support. If you continue to have problems, see Chapter 5 for more information on contacting RTI technical support. DISPLAY IS DIM, BLANK OR UNREADABLE Make sure the batteries are inserted properly and are new. Try adjusting the contrast level from the Control Panel page (Refer to Chapter 3 for more details). By nature, the contrast of an LCD screen changes with temperature, so if the remote is cold the display will be dark and will return to normal as it warms. USB COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS Verify that your PC is running Windows® 98SE or higher. Verify that the M2 is present in the Human Interface Devices section of the Device Manager within the Windows® Control Panel. Make sure you are using the programming cable that was supplied by RTI and that both ends are connected securely. Make sure the PC detects the presence of the M2. If it doesn’t, unplug the USB cable, wait for about ten seconds, and plug it in again. If the download fails after some data has been transferred, try resending the program. IR CODE PROBLEMS If you are using an IR repeater system, make sure it is working correctly with the original OEM remote. If not, you will need to troubleshoot the IR repeater system. 17 M2 Universal System Controller If you are still having problems, try adjusting the IR code “Minimum Repeats” value in the TheaterTouch Designer programming software. If the IR code is executed inside a macro that contains multiple IR codes, try inserting a small time delay before the problem code. If there already is a delay, try increasing it. 18 Chapter 5.
