HOW KAMELEON™ WORKS
Kameleon™ allows wireless controllers to dynamically change their
appearance and functionality, to match the home entertainment
environment.Moreover, this technology provides unparalleled ease-of-use
and superior control by delivering a uniquely intuitive, graphical interface
that intelligently illuminates only the active keys.
The OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF uses Kameleon technology to
provide the versatility of an LCD remote control with the feel of a traditional
push button unit. The result is a stunning, bright display with engaging
animation and touch-sensitive graphics for the user.
The remote control includes convenient Menu Driven programming.The
displays are divided into two types of interactive screens: Device Menus for
normal remote control use, and Programming Menus for feature
setup.Acting like its namesake, Kameleon changes the Device Menu for the
device being selected. For example, selecting TV displays a main menu that
contains channel selection, volume control, and a keypad.However, selecting
a DVD player still displays a menu with those same keys as the TV, but now
navigation keys and transport controls are added for the DVD device.
Several devices have additional menus that can be accessed using SCROLL
(see Device Menu Screens , starting on page 56. For example, TV has three
menus: a main menu with keys for a general purpose TV, a second menu
screen that adds navigation keys and removes FORMAT, INPUT and ENTER
keys, and a third menu screen that adds INPUT, ENTER, and PIP keys.
Depending on desired features, a user has the flexibility to use any menu
screen that works best for the selected device.
NOTE: The CD, DVD, and PVRmodes do not have additional menu
screens even though SCROLL is displayed.
Animated key graphics also provided enhanced operational feedback, so the
user can easily see what mode is active and when the commands are
communicating with a device. The end result of Kameleon technology is a
simple, elegant, and intelligent way of organizing a large number of remote
control keys for eight different devices in a relatively small case.

USING THE IR/RF BASE STATION
The OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF (URC-9964B00) comes with an
IR/RF Base Station which receives radio-frequency (RF) signals from the
OFA Kameleon 8 Device Remote with RF, anywhere in your home, up to 100
feet away. Once it is set up, the IR/RF Base Station will convert the RF signals
into Infrared (IR) signals to control your home theater devices.
NOTE: The OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF transmits both an IR and
an RF signal simultaneously. It is your option whether you want to install the
IR/RF Base Station for extended remote control range. If you choose to do so,
during testing do not aim the OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF at your
home entertainment devices to verify that RF transmission is working.
NOTE: The RF signal transmitted by the OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with
RF, only works with the IR/RF Command Center.
SETTING UPTHE IR/RF BASE STATION
1.Find a location approximately 8 feet in front of your home theater
devices. It should provide (line-of-sight) access to your equipment and
a power outlet to plug in the IR/RF Base Station.

OPTIMIZING IR/RF BASE STATION RECEPTION
Here are some adjustment tips for optimizing the operation of your IR/RF
Base Station:
•Aim the OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF toward the room
where the IR/RF Base Station is located.
•Do not position the IR/RF Base Station near metal objects, such as heat
ducts. Metal can absorb RF signals.
•Make sure the batteries in the OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF
are fully charged. Try replacing them if you are not sure (see “Installing
Batteries” on page 4). Weak batteries will affect the signal range.
•Make sure that the OFA Kamele on 8-Device Remote w ith RF is not b eing
affected by other RF transmissions (e.g., garage door openers, cordless
telephones, etc.).
NOTE: The tests for range limits of the OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF
and the IR/RF Base Station were conducted in open-air distance tests. Actual
signal distance will be based on the construction of the building the unit is
being used in, as well as other factors, such as outside interference.
CHANGING VOLUME LOCK
The OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote with RF is set at the factory for
independent volume control of each selected device.
However, you may change the Volume Lock setting to Global Volume Lock
so that a device’s volume is locked to one mode (e.g., to control TV volume in
all other modes). After that you can perform Individual Volume Unlock on a
selected device to set its volume control for independent operation.
