KAMELEON 8-DEVICE REMOTE WITH RF24 Using the IR/RF Base Station6. To assign a mode to the Channel Controls group, press a device key once.Then the Menu Controls programming screen appears:USING THE IR/RF BASE STATIONThe OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF (URC-9964B00) comes with an IR/RF Base Station which receives radio-frequency (RF) signals from the OFA Kameleon 8 Device Remote with RF, anywhere in your home, up to 100 feet away. Once it is set up, the IR/RF Base Station will convert the RF signals into Infrared (IR) signals to control your home theater devices.NOTE: The OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF transmits both an IR and an RF signal simultaneously. It is your option whether you want to install the IR/RF Base Station for extended remote control range. If you choose to do so, during testing do not aim the OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF at your home entertainment devices to verify that RF transmission is working.NOTE: The RF signal transmitted by the OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF, only works with the IR/RF Command Center. SETTING UP THE IR/RF BASE STATION1. Find a location approximately 8 feet in front of your home theater devices. It should provide (line-of-sight) access to your equipment and a power outlet to plug in the IR/RF Base Station.NOTE: If a device key is animated, it is assigned to this function group. To continue programming the Home Theater mode, you must select a device key, even if it is the same one that is currently animated.7. To assign a mode to the Menu Controls group, press a device key once. Since Home Theater programming is now complete, the Program Keys appear again.8. To exit programming, press HOME once.The display returns to the last-selected device menu screen.OFA Kameleon wRF UG rev 3.fm Page 24 Monday, August 16, 2004 8:19 PM

USER’S GUIDEUsing the IR/RF Base Station 25If it does not turn on, review the steps 1 through 3 and make any adjustments. Try step 4 again. If you continue to have a problem, perhaps there is an IR line-of sight problem. Try adding the enclosed IR Signal Extension Cord (see“Adding the IR Signal Extension Cord” on page 26). Also review the tips in “Optimizing IR/RF Base Station Reception” on page 27.ADDING THE IR SIGNAL EXTENSION CORDIncluded with the OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF package is an IR Signal Extension Cord for use with a home theater device that is not in direct line-of-sight of the IR/RF Base Station.Power Cord2. Plug in the IR/RF Base Station's power cord to the base station and to the wall plug, as shown in the image to the right:AntennaIR Lens3. Position the IR/RF Base Station so the black IR Lens is aimed at your home theater devices, as shown to the right:4. To test the IR/RF Base Station, take the OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF into another room in your home or up to 100 feet away in an open range. Select a device key (e.g., TV) and press it once.Then press POWER once. The device (e.g., TV) should turn on.OFA Kameleon wRF UG rev 3.fm Page 25 Monday, August 16, 2004 8:19 PM

KAMELEON 8-DEVICE REMOTE WITH RF26 Using the IR/RF Base StationIf you are having problems remotely controlling a home theater device from another room, try the following:1. Plug the 4-foot IR Signal Extension Cord into the back of the IR/RF Base Station. 2. Run the IR Signal Extension Cord to the device that is not in line-of-sight of the IR/RF Base Station.3. Using the supplied double-sided tape, attach the IR Signal Extension Cord so that its LED is in direct sight of the IR sensor of your home theater device.4. Test the installation by again taking the OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF into another room in your home, or up to 100 feet* away in an open range. Select a device key (e.g., TV) and press it once. Then press POWER once.The IR/RF Command Center will convert the RF signal from the OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF into an IR signal and transmit that signal through the IR Signal Extension Cord to turn on your device (e.g., TV). If it does not turn on, try repositioning the LED until the device can be controlled, then re-attach the LED.* Distance may varyOPTIMIZING IR/RF BASE STATION RECEPTIONHere are some adjustment tips for optimizing the operation of your IR/RF Base Station:• Aim the OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF toward the room where the IR/RF Base Station is located.OFA Kameleon wRF UG rev 3.fm Page 26 Monday, August 16, 2004 8:19 PM

USER’S GUIDEChanging Volume Lock 27• Do not position the IR/RF Base Station near metal objects, such as heat ducts. Metal can absorb RF signals.• Make sure the batteries in the OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF are fully charged. Try replacing them if you are not sure (see “Installing Batteries” on page 4). Weak batteries will affect the signal range.• Make sure that the OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF is not being affected by other RF transmissions (e.g., garage door openers, cordless telephones, etc.).NOTE: The tests for range limits of the OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF and the IR/RF Base Station were conducted in open-air distance tests. Actual signal distance will be based on the construction of the building the unit is being used in, as well as other factors, such as outside interference.CHANGING VOLUME LOCKThe OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF is set at the factory for independent volume control of each selected device.However, you may change the Volume Lock setting to Global Volume Lock so that a device’s volume is locked to one mode (e.g., to control TV volume in all other modes). After that you can perform Individual Volume Unlock on a selected device to set its volume control for independent operation.LOCKING VOLUME CONTROL TO ONE MODE (GLOBAL VOLUME LOCK)1. Press and hold SETUP until the two bottom IR segments flash twice. The Program Keys appear as SETUP flashes repeatedly.OFA Kameleon wRF UG rev 3.fm Page 27 Monday, August 16, 2004 8:19 PM

KAMELEON 8-DEVICE REMOTE WITH RF30 Using MacrosA macro can be used to control a home theater operation, to set a favorite channel, or for other multiple functions you would like to control with one key press. Moreover, each Macro Key can hold up to 15 key presses total.NOTE: Programming a new macro over an existing one erases the original.PROGRAMMING A FAVORITE CHANNEL MACROWith so many channels available on your cable or satellite system, you can program a macro that directly selects a favorite channel with one key press.For example, let’s assume your favorite cable programs are on channel 71. Use the following instructions to program a macro for direct access of this channel:NOTE: . The following example assumes all equipment is turned off and that the TV is connected through the Cable Box with TV tuning set to channel 3.2. Press MACRO once.The Macro programming screen appears:NOTE: If there are more than 15 key presses in the sequence, the bottom IR segments display a long flash denoting an error. The display returns to the last-selected device menu screen. To program the macro, start again with step 3.1. Press and hold SETUP until the two bottom IR segments flash twice. The Program Keys appear as SETUP flashes repeatedly.3. Press an open Macro Key (e.g.,M1,M2,M3, or M4). The last-selected device menu screen, including HOME, appears.4. Enter a macro sequence of up to 15 key presses. For this example, press TV once, followed by POWER once, and then enter 0 3 for the TV’s channel number. Next, press CBL/SAT once, followed by POWER once, and then enter 0 7 1 for the Cable Box’s channel number.OFA Kameleon wRF UG rev 3.fm Page 30 Monday, August 16, 2004 8:19 PM
