IMPORTANT SAFETY & HEALTH INFORMATION

2

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!

Laser beam can cause permanent
damage to eyes. Do not look into the
laser beam or shine the laser beam into
your own eyes, other peoples’ eyes, or
pets’ eyes.

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!

Keep this device away from children. It is a
work tool, not a toy or entertainment device.
It should only be used by adults.

SPECIAL NOTICE REGARDING CARRYING

LASER POINTERS ON COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT

Atek has received reports of airport security personnel
confiscating laser pointers. Although these reports have
been infrequent and have not involved the Tote-Remote,
Atek recommends that you consider packing your
Tote-Remote in your check-in luggage rather than in your
carry-on bag.

As of the publication date of this User’s Manual, the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) web site does
not list laser pointers among “Items Prohibited in Aircraft
Cabins” (see www.tsa.gov), but it does state that “other
items that may be deemed to present a potential threat may
also be prohibited”.

If you have any questions on this topic, you should consult
with the responsible government entity.

Please note that Atek will not be held responsible for items
being confiscated or for any other legal matters related to
how and when you use, store, and carry your Tote-Remote.

INSTALLATION

Your Tote-Remote includes the following items:

• Tote-Remote

• Coin cell battery (3V CR 2032)

• USB RF receiver

• Padded travel pouch

• User’s manual

Your Tote-Remote is simple to install. Just insert the battery
into the battery compartment (with the text on the battery
face up) and then plug the receiver into a USB port on your
computer or on a USB hub. No special application drivers
are required, but if you are using Windows Me or 98, you
might be prompted to place your original Windows operating
system CD into your CD-ROM drive.

If your Tote-Remote is not working properly, the receiver

may need to learn the ID code of the remote control

using the following procedure:

• Plug the receiver into the USB port (with computer on).

• Push the little red reset button on the receiver once with

the end of a paperclip (you should hear it click).

• Push the F5/Esc or wheel button on your Tote-Remote.
