Chapter 2 - Getting Started
Installing The Base Unit
The SUR-BU base unit is equipped with 4 IR emitting LEDs which are positioned
in a North, South, East and West configuration to flood the room with IR
signals. Place the unit so the IR transmission can be “seen” by the IR receiving
windows on your TV, VCR, DVD and A/V equipment. You may want to
experiment to find a location that gives the best results. Rubber feet for table
top placement and screws for wall mounting are included.
1.
Plug AC adapter into AC adapter jack on base unit and into 120V
AC wall outlet.
2.
Set address code if necessary. See page 10, Setting the RF Address
for more information.
3.
Position base unit so that it is aimed at equipment. Use IR blaster cable for equipment out of directional
range.
Using the IR blaster cable
The IR blaster cable can be used with individual pieces of equipment that face
different directions, are located in a cabinet or otherwise not in direct line of sight
with the base unit. The cable comes with double stick tape on both sides to allow
attachment directly to a device or to aim at several devices. Contact Sima at
800-345-7462 if additional IR blaster cables are needed.
Installing Batteries
The SUR-47 operates on four AAA Alkaline batteries (not included). Batteries must be inserted before you can
operate the SUR-47.
1.
2.
3.
Turn the remote over, push the tab in the direction of the arrow on the battery cover and slide the
cover off.
Insert the batteries, matching the batteries to the (+) and (–) marks inside the battery case.
Snap the battery cover back into place.
Battery Indicator
A battery icon is displayed in the upper right-hand corner near the time display. When the batteries are almost
depleted, the battery low icon appears. When the battery low icon appears, you are not allowed to enter
setup mode.

Battery Tips and Precautions
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Immediately replace the batteries when the battery low icon appears.
The SUR-47 will not lose programmed data when replacing batteries, but will reset the time.
Always use fresh batteries. Alkaline batteries are recommended. Do not mix different types of batteries.
Match the positive (+) and negative (–) polarities of the batteries to the diagram in the compartment.
Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat or flame.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Weak batteries reduce the effective distance of the unit.
•
To reduce danger of leakage and damage, remove used batteries when used longer than two years.
About the Touch Screen
The Touch Screen reduces the number of buttons by changing its configuration for each device selected. In
this way, the Touch Screen provides 672 buttons (16 devices x 2 pages x 21 buttons per page).
Turning the Touch Screen On
Touch the screen to activate it. It will turn itself off after the user-defined power down time period. (To change
the down time, see Setting the Down Time on page 26.
Touch Screen Precautions
Please read the following instructions carefully:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Tap the LCD Touch Screen gently; never use force.
Do not use a pen or any sharp object to tap the screen. You might damage the surface.
Keep the Touch Screen dry. Wipe off any spills immediately. The SUR-47 is not waterproof; never immerse
it in liquid.
Don't expose the SUR-47 to extreme temperatures. Keep it away from heat sources.
Avoid dropping the SUR-47.
Don't drop anything on the Touch Screen.
Clean the LCD Touch Screen with a soft cloth. If needed, dampen the cloth slightly before cleaning.
Never use abrasives or cleaning solutions.
Touch Screen Buttons
The Touch Screen buttons enable you to operate the SUR-47 and your external devices. Use these buttons to
program codes from your existing remotes, control your devices, and set up command sequences called
macros. You will hear a beep when you press a button. To activate or deactivate the beep, see Setting the
Beep Signal on Page 27. the SUR-47 turns itself off after a user-specified time. To change the time, see Setting the
Power Down Time on page on page 26. Press the LCD button to wake the unit up.

Setting the RF Address
Each device button (TV, VCR, DVD etc.) can be set to operate on either IR or RF frequencies. When transmitting an IR signal
the SUR-47 will operate the selected device by directly sending IR signals to the device. To operate in this mode, you must
point the SUR-47 at the desired device.
To operate in the RF mode, the SUR-47 transmits an RF frequency signal to the SUR-BU base unit, which sends an IR signal to
the desired device. Both the device and the base unit must be set to the same RF address to operate properly. To set the
RF address:

manufacture model number. This feature is the fastest way to program the SUR-47 but requires that your
device be located in the Pre-programmed Code List that was bundled with the SUR-47. Some newer or
less-common devices may not be pre-programmed and must be learned using the Learning Function.
Learn - use this method to directly learn the proper infrared signals from another remote control. This
method is perfect for newer or less common devices or if a certain button still does not perform the
desired function after using pre-programmed manufacturer codes; however, not 100% of codes can be
learned and it may be necessary to collect unrecognized codes and send them to Sima Products. (See

Using the Learning Mode
Follow these instructions to detect and learn a remote control's configuration.
Before Using the Learning Function
Before you start using the SUR-47's learning function, please heed the following precautions:
•
Not all infrared codes are learnable by the SUR-47. You may need to first collect the codes (see page 17
for more information) and then email them to Sima Products. New system firmware will be sent to you
allowing your SUR-47 to learn the codes.
•
To change from a device that has already been programmed, delete all of the commands for the first
device before teaching new ones. For example, to operate the living room TV instead of the bedroom
TV, delete all commands for the bedroom TV first. Then re-configure the TV device screen for the living
room TV.
Code learning does not work with all devices. Select one device screen in advance before using code learning
mode. All keys except the quick channel keys, sleep, page and macro can be learned.

Use this procedure if the SUR-47 is unable to recognize the infrared signals from another remote control.
Once you have collected unrecognizable codes, you can use the optional SUR-PC link cable (see
Appendix B - Accessories on page 34 for more info) to upload them to your personal computer and then email
them to Sima Products for analysis.
The email address is info@simacorp.com
Every time you enter DEBUG mode, the SUR-47 replaces previously stored
unrecognized codes with new ones. If you have more than one remote that is not
programmable, upload the first remote’s unrecognized codes and then gather the
second remote's unrecognized codes.
