This users’ manual describes the operation of the ULTRA R4000 PC/TV Universal Remote
Control Unit with Air Mouse and Music Display (RCU). The RCU contains an embedded micro
gyro for motion sensing and in-air control of a 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. This RCU links directly to your Windows Media Player Audio library. Using the Music
Display on the RCU you can browse through your audio files and listen to your music on the
PC without going to your computer.
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 ULTRA R4000 Motion-Sensing RCU requires four AAA 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. The LED does not illuminate when
transmitting IR information.

The RCU Mode Selection buttons (TV, PC, CAB/SAT, and AUX) are lit when pressed;
these buttons light up whenever they are pressed (for 2-3 seconds) to indicate which Control
Mode the remote is in.
There is no automatic backlighting on any of the RCU buttons. The “Backlight” button
controls the backlight of the RCU buttons and the Display. Upon pressing the “Backlight”
button, the main RCU keys will be backlit. If the Display is active (by pressing the Display
button), the Display will also become backlit.
The backlight acts as a toggle and can also be used to turn off all backlighting. Additionally,
the backlighting will timeout after a short amount of time (timeout occurs after last button
pressed and the backlight turns off if no other button is pressed within 10 seconds).
If the backlighting seems dim, the batteries may need to be replaced.
Power / Standby Toggle Button
This button turns the selected device on or off or toggles its power state from standby to
active. The device is selected with the RCU Mode Switches; PC, TV, CAB/SAT, and AUX.

Section For More Information
In PC mode, this button issues a standard Windows STANDBY 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 STANDBY command. In the default configuration,
if the PC is already on, the first button press puts the PC into standby mode. If the PC is in
standby mode, another press of this button will wake up the PC.
