Introduction
This users’ manual describes the operation of the Gyration Universal 4-in-1 (3 IR devices + 1 RF device) Media Center and PC Remote Control Unit (RCU). The RCU contains an embedded micro gyro for motion sensing and in-air control of floating cursor. This RCU features IR code database and IR learning capabilities to universally control standard home theater devices such as TVs, VCRs, Digital Video Recorders (DVR), DVD players, CD players, cable/SAT boxes, etc.
The RCU is also equipped with a 2.4 GHz RF transceiver to send cursor movement information and other commands to the PC via a USB transceiver. The radio frequency (RF) transceiver delivers a range of up to 100 feet with no line-of-sight requirement. The 800 possible channels of the RF transceiver provide high resistance to interference from other radio devices.
Battery Installation and Information
The Media Center and PC RCU requires two AA Alkaline batteries. To install the batteries:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the batteries to the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover and snap it into place.
Note: Reprogramming may be required after batteries are replaced.
Battery Saver
The RCU saves battery power by automatically going into a low-power state if no button is pressed after a few seconds. See the Gyro section for gyro battery saver mode.
Product Registration Information
Keep your sales receipt to obtain warranty parts and service and for proof of purchase. Attach it here and record the serial number in case you need it. The serial number is located
on the product.

Gyro Operation
The RCU provides in-air control of the PC’s cursor via patented gyroscopic motion sensing technology. This means mouse-like cursor control, from anywhere in the room, without the need of a flat surface. There is no line-of-sight requirement so you don’t have to point the RCU at the PC you are controlling. Remember the following things when using the in-air cursor control feature of the RCU:
• Use your thumb to press the gyro and
mouse buttons.
• Click the center button to activate the
gyro motion-sensing control. Single click and hold to move the cursor and release it to “park” the cursor where you want it. Double click the center button and release it for continuous cursor movement similar to a standard mouse.
• The right and left buttons function like
standard mouse right-click and left-click buttons.
• Move the cursor by flexing your wrist, not
your arm or body, much as you would with a flashlight; side to side and up and down. Placing your arm on an armrest or on your lap will make this motion more comfortable.
• The RF Transmit LED indicates when gyro
motion or other information is being sent independent of which mode is selected on
the RCU.

Backlighting
The RCU Mode Selection buttons are backlit. One of these buttons lights up whenever a button is pressed on the remote to indicate which Control Mode the remote is in; PC, TV, AUX, or CAB/SAT. If the backlighting seems dim, the batteries may need to be replaced. There is no backlighting on any other buttons.
ON/OFF Switch
This switch turns the selected device on or off. The device is selected with the RCU Mode Switches; PC, TV, AUX and CAB/SAT.
In the PC mode, this button issues a standard Windows SLEEP command. Various options for this command can be set up in Windows. Go to START/CONTROL PANEL/POWER OPTIONS/ADVANCED and then set a function for the SLEEP command.
In the default configuration this button is setup to give a STANDBY command. In this configuration, if the PC is already on, the first button pressed puts the PC into standby mode. If the PC is in standby mode, pressing the STANDBY button on the RCU may wake up the PC. For the wake function to work properly, your PC must comply to the ACPI (Advanced Configuration & Power Interface) standard. See your PC Owners Manual for more details.

Receiver Installation
The RCU requires a USB RF transceiver be plugged into a USB port in the PC in order to access RF and gyro functions. The USB extension cable can be used to maximize the range of the RCU by placing the USB RF transceiver away from other electrical components. A USB RF transceiver does not need to be plugged in to use the IR remote functions. See the diagram below.
13
Setting Up and Synchronizing the Remote and the Transceiver
After inserting the batteries in the remote control unit,
1. Plug the USB RF transceiver into the PC if it hasn’t already been done. See the previous section of this document.
2. Press and release the connect button on the USB transceiver. The CONNECT light on the transceiver will flash.
3. Press the CONNECT button at the bottom of the remote control unit. The CONNECT light on the USB transceiver will stop flashing. Your RCU is now connected to your PC and Windows Media Center. The green STATUS light on the USB transceiver indicates when RF signals are being received from the RCU.
The RCU can be programmed to operate many brands of remote-controllable components such as TVs, VCRs, CD players, DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers and other components via the IR functions of the RCU.
The AUX button can be programmed to operate most brands of remote-controllable components: satellite receivers, cable boxes, CDs DVDs, VCRs, DVRs, and other components via the IR functions of the RCU.
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed to operate one of the components connected to your PC, such as TV, do the following:
1. Turn on the component (in this example, a TV).
2. Point the remote at the TV.
3. Press the corresponding component button (in this example, TV).
4. Press ON•OFF to see if the TV responds. If the TV doesn’t respond, you must program the remote to operate it.
14
Programming Methods
There are two ways to program the remote control to operate other components: Automatic Code Search and Direct Entry.
Using Automatic Code Search
The following instructions can be used to program the RCU to operate each of your components. If you want to stop the automatic code search without programming any of your components, press and hold CLEAR (*) until the indicator on the RCU turns off.
1. Turn on the component you want to operate (TV, DVD player, etc.)
2. Press and hold the component button you want to program (TV, AUX, etc.). While holding the component button, press and hold ON/OFF button until the component button on the RCU turns on, then release both buttons.
3. Point the remote at the component.
4. Press and release PLAY, then wait 5 seconds or until the component button stops flashing. At this point the RCU is searching for the correct code to program. If, after 5 seconds, the component you want to operate does not turn off, press PLAY again to tell the RCU to search the next set of codes. Continue pressing and releasing PLAY until the component turns off or you have searched through all of the codes. The component buttons flash when all codes have been searched, the component button turns off, and the RCU exits the Automatic Code Search mode.
If the component you want to control does turn off:
1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the component turns back on.
2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the component button on the RCU turns off. The RCU will automatically exit the Automatic Code Search mode.
Using Direct Entry
1. Turn on the device you want to operate (TV, DVD player, etc.)
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the device in the Remote Code List at the end of this booklet.
3. Press and hold the device button you want to program on the RCU.
4. Enter the 4-digit code from the Remote Code List. If all the mode buttons flash, you have either entered an invalid code or the button isn’t programmable.
