Maximizing Battery Life
Your remote uses a rechargeable battery. It charges in the
ExpressCard slot in your notebook. The battery can last up
to a week without recharging. Just use the remote when you
want to play music and DVD’s on your computer and store
it in your notebook and it will always be charged when you
need it. If its been a really long time since you’ve used your
notebook or the remote, don’t worry, it takes less than 2
hours to fully charge.
Power Saving
One great feature of your remote is the automatic power sav-
ing mode. If you don’t press any buttons on your remote for
30 minutes, it will automatically go to sleep to conserve bat-
tery power. It wakes up with the rst button press and auto-
matically reestablishes communication. It may take a second
or two before it is reconnected. You can avoid going into
power saving mode by pressing a button every 30 minutes.

Page 15
Though not all keys will work in all programs. Some pro-
grams, for example, support previous track but don’t support
rewind. Have fun experimenting with your new remote to
see what programs you can control.
Troubleshooting
Before you begin you should already have Bluetooth work-
ing on your laptop. If Bluetooth is not working or you are
unsure, please contact the manufacturer of your laptop or
Bluetooth adapter.
Problem: Every button on the remote doesn’t work in every
program.
Solution: This is normal. Your remote control sends stan-
dard windows commands for all of its buttons. Some
programs do not offer every command. For example, a
program might support next track / previous track but not
support rewind or fast forward.
Problem: After I haven’t pressed any buttons on the remote
for a while, when I do press a button, nothing happens.
Page 16
Solution: The remote uses a rechargeable battery. What’s
happening is to give you the longest battery life possible
the remote goes to sleep. It wakes up with the rst button
press, but it may be a couple of seconds before it rees-
tablishes communication with your laptop. Once it has
reconnected, you will need to press the button again. You
can keep this from happening by pressing a button every
30 minutes.
Problem: The remote isn’t working.
Solution 1: Check the Bluetooth device list to see if the
device is listed. If it is listed, delete it and reinstall. If it is
not listed, it will need to be installed.
Solution 2: Charge the remote. Generally just using the
notebook occasionally will be more than enough power to
charge the remote.
