CHAPTER 2 | INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT NOTES
Please read these important notes about the T3-V+:
The T3-V+ should be placed in an area where it is around normal room
temperature (between 60° F to 90° F). If the temperature is too hot, the display appears dim. If the temperature is too cold, the display appears dark and may respond slowly.
Do not use sharp objects on the touchscreen. It is designed to operate
with a touch of your nger.
Do not let the T3-V+ get wet. It should not be handled with wet hands
or placed in an area where it could get wet.
Do not subject the T3-V+ to smoke, dust, or vibrations. The display
may be damaged from excessive shock or vibration.
Only use the power supply that is provided with the T3-V+. Using the
wrong type of power supply may result in damage to the battery or electronic components.
Do not disassemble the unit. Service of the T3-V+ should be performed
by authorized personnel only.
CLEANING
Occasional cleaning may be required, depending on use. It is
recommended that a “Clean” button is placed somewhere on the Home
page of the T3-V+. This button should link to a page that does not contain commands or macros that could be inadvertently executed while cleaning
the unit. The “Clean” page could contain a text message or graphic of your
choosing such as:
To clean your T3-V+, lightly dampen a lint-free cloth with a glass cleaner or mild detergent, and wipe the touchscreen, keypad and outer surfaces.

CHAPTER 2 | INTRODUCTION
BATTERY AND DOCKING STATION
The T3-V+ uses a Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. This battery does
not exhibit any type of “Memory Effect” from being charged too often.
Since the T3-V+ can safely be charged after each use, a docking station is included for convenience. The T3-V+ Docking Station can be placed on a
at surface such as a shelf or table, or it can be mounted to a wall using
the mounting holes on the back of the unit.
If the T3-V+ battery capacity is reduced to approximately 25 percent, a low battery icon will appear in the top center of the display.
The low battery icon will change color to red if the battery capacity becomes critically low. At this point the T3-V+ must be placed into the docking station to recharge the
battery.
The docking station LED illuminates red to indicate a charge in progress. The LED will illuminate blue when the battery in the unit is fully charged or does not need to be charged. A fully discharged battery will take approximately 2-4 hours to completely re-charge.

GETTING STARTED
NOTE: The following steps for initial installation including removing the
battery door should be performed by an authorized service center or trained installer only.
Start by insuring the battery connector is inserted into the mating plug on the T3-V+. Make sure the connector is oriented properly before attempting
to insert it. Next, turn the unit on by sliding the power switch into the “ON”
position (toward the battery).
After power is applied, the T3-V+ will take approximately ten seconds to load the operating system, the application software, and the user program. This long delay only occurs from a power-down state. During normal use the T3-V+ turns-on instantly from its sleep mode.
The T3-V+ is turned-on by touching any area of the display or any keypad button. If the tilt sensor is enabled, picking up the unit will also turn it on.

If you are having problems with your T3-V+ Universal System Controller, please read the information below before contacting technical support.
If you continue to have problems, see Chapter 6 for more information on contacting RTI technical support.
DISPLAY IS DIM, BLANK OR UNREADABLE
Make sure the battery pack connector is attached properly and the
battery is charged.
Try adjusting the backlight level from the Control Panel page (Refer to
Chapter 3 for more details). By nature, the contrast of an LCD screen changes with temperature, so if the remote is cold the display will be dark and will return to normal as it warms.
USB COMMUNICATIONS PROBLEMS
Verify that your PC is running Windows XP® or higher.
Verify that the T3-V+ USB driver was installed the rst time the T3-V+
was connected to your PC.
Verify that the T3-V+ is present in the Device Manager within the
Windows® Control Panel.
Make sure you are using the programming cable that was supplied by
RTI and that both ends are connected securely.
Make sure the PC detects the presence of the T3-V+. If it doesn’t,
unplug the USB cable, wait for about ten seconds, and plug it in again.
If the download fails after some data has been transferred, try re-
sending the program.
IR CODE PROBLEMS
If you are using an IR repeater system, make sure it is working
correctly with the original OEM remote. If not, you will need to troubleshoot the IR repeater system.
If you are still having problems, try adjusting the IR code “Minimum
Repeats” value in the Integration Designer® programming software.
If the IR code is executed inside a macro that contains multiple IR
codes, try inserting a small time delay before the problem code. If there already is a delay, try increasing it.
