The AP IR Remote Control System is designed to allow easy operation of all your Audio Perfect products from your desk or conference table, rather than from the front panel of your Gentner audio conferencing products.

It is made up of two components, the handheld infrared transmitter (remote control) and the base station infrared receiver. The transmitter is used to operate or customize the many features of the Audio Perfect system, such as: connect, disconnect, dial a telephone number, redial, store speed dial numbers, activate speed dial, hook flash, adjust volume, and mute the microphones.

The AP IR Remote functions with an AP400 stand-alone system, an AP400/AP800 combination, or it may be used with an AP800/AP10 combination. The default programming may be easily customized to fit your needs by simply pressing certain key sequences on the transmitter unit. In the event of a power outage, the new programming will be stored in the receiver’s memory and will not be lost or altered.

INSTALLATION

Installation is simple, only requiring plugging the AP IR Remote Receiver into the RS232 connector located on the back of the AP400 or AP800 unit.

Located on the AP IR Remote Receiver are two LEDs—STATUS and MUTE. The STATUS LED will glow red when the receiver is connected to the AP product indicating the system is ready for a valid command. When a button is pressed, the STATUS LED flashes rapidly indicating a command has been received.

When the MUTE ON button is pressed, the MUTE LED will blink on and off indicating the system is in a muted state.
