by hand. If you wish to change an installed label, use a knife to gently pry the label
protector off the key.
e. To operate multiple IntelliControls within one house, you must change the “Unit ID”
setting. The Tabletop Remote transmits a “Unit ID” with each RF command. There are
16 possible “Unit ID” settings which are configured via DIP switches inside the battery
compartment of the Tabletop Remote. This enables up to 16 systems to
simultaneously operate within a 100ft radius on the same transmitting frequency.
Note: The DIP switch settings inside the Tabletop Remote must match the “Unit ID”
settings as configured on the “Utilities” tab in the IntelliFile II software.
f. Insert 3 “D” size alkaline batteries (not included) into the remote control. Be sure to
maintain polarity.
4. Construct an Antenna
a. The antenna must be constructed of QUAD SHIELD RG-6 cable. The quad shield
prevents RF interference generated by the home theater components from being
picked up by the IntelliControl’s antenna. Use a long enough piece of cable so that the
“antenna” end of the cable is at least ten feet from any RF generating component
(DSS receiver, D to A converter, personal computer, etc. ).
Note: It is always a good Idea to locate the exposed tip of the antenna as far away
from the components (and as close to the user) as practical to assure reliable RF
reception.
b. To create the actual antenna, simply strip 6-3/4” of shield from the coax, leaving the
plastic insulator in place. If the plastic insulator is accidentally removed, be sure to
wrap the exposed center conductor with electrical tape to protect against electrostatic
shock.
c. Attach an “F” connector to the other end and connect to the MSU.
5. Testing and Troubleshooting RF Transmission and Reception
a. Activate the Tabletop Remote by pressing a Master Key. Note: One of the Master
Keys must be selected (and lit) before a radio transmission will occur when a Function
Key is pressed.
b. Observe the RF test LED while tapping “Channel Up” (or any Function Key)
approximately once per second while moving the remote throughout the room. Try the
antenna in various concealed locations, testing for the best range and accuracy by
watching the RF Test LED as you operate the remote. You may need to try reposition
the antenna to get good results in every location.
A Flash of the Green LED = Indicates that the radio transmission has been received
and understood. Move the remote to a new location within the room and retest until
the remote operates properly in any potential end-use location.
A Flash of the Red LED = Indicates that interference was received or the button was
tapped too rapidly. Press the “Channel Up” key no faster than once per second when
testing. If the red LED lights frequently (or intermittently), move the antenna to another
position and retest. If no position results in reliable flashes of the green LED, attempt
