General Description

The Control4 System Remote Control is the handheld remote control for a Control4 system. It is included with the purchase of many Control4 controllers, but may also be purchased separately.

The System Remote Control plays an important role in Control4 system navigation and input. Use the remote control to access on-screen menus and to control associated devices. It goes beyond a typical "universal remote" that simply learns IR codes from TVs, VCRs, CD players and DVD players; It uses Zigbee for two-way wireless communication. The signal travels through walls and does not require a direct line of site to the receiver.

The remote control is powered by four AAA batteries and features controls for personal settings, DVR, DSS, numeric keypad, and four-line LCD screen with backlight that displays remote status and system information.

About the System Remote Control

The System Remote Control is approximately 2.5 x 8.5 inches.

The remote control can be divided into these sections:

1. LCD with Display Button, and Power Button

2. Subsystem Buttons

3. Navigation Buttons

4. Control Buttons
