Introduction
The KeyRF PC Remote Control Adapter provides a way to send
remote control signals to your PC. Some of the advanced
features of the KeyRF are:
♦Superior RF technology –Receives 360º with better
performance as compared to infrared type remotes.
♦Easy to use –Remote fits easily in your palm, or your
pocket. No pointing required. Just click wherever you are
and it works!
♦Programmable Button Actions –Different key sequences
can be sent to the PC, based on the way the buttons are
pressed on the remote transmitter.
♦Easy installation –KeyRF requires no special software to
be installed on your system. Just plug between your PC
and keyboard and you are ready to go.
♦Fast! –The KeyRF is responsive, making your presentation
move along smoothly.
Notes of Caution
Before using the KeyRF PC remote Control, a few notes of
caution should be considered.
Before connecting, or disconnecting the KeyRF, make
sure power is turned off to your computer.
Do not discharge static electricity to antenna. Touch
a grounded object first before contacting antenna.
This can lock up or even damage the receiver.

Antenna Assembly
KeyRF Components
The two key components of a KeyRF system are the
transmitter and receiver.The KeyRF is available with either a
two-button or a four-button transmitter. When a transmitter
button is pressed, it sends a radio frequency signal to the
KeyRF receiver. The receiver then relays data to the
computer which mimics keyboard key presses. The receiver
comes pre-programmed with keystrokes assigned to the
transmitter buttons that work well to advance slides for most
presentation software. You can re-program what keystrokes
are sent to the computer for each button, and that
information will be stored in the receiver for use with any
computer.

Connections Using PS/2 Interface
1. First, make sure the Computer/Laptop is turned off.
2. For a desktop computer, first unplug the keyboard from the computer.
3. Plug the one end of the supplied KeyRF cable into the desktop computer’s
keyboard port, or a Laptop’s external mouse/keyboard port. If your mouse
does not have a 6-pin circular connector marked with a mouse or keyboard
you may have to get a CL0014 PS/2 to USB adapter shown on the next page.
If you have an IBM Thinkpad laptop, you may need a CL0012 PS/2 Y-adapter
discussed later on in this manual.
4. Plug the other end of the KeyRF cable to the “To Computer” connector on the
KeyRF receiver.
5. If you have a desktop computer, or a laptop external keyboard, connect the
keyboard to “To Keyboard” connector on the receiver.
6. Turn your computer on, and you’re ready to go. If you are using presentation
software, run a presentation in “show” mode and try advancing slides.

Connections Using USB Interface
1. Turn your computer on.
2. Connect one end of the supplied Mini-DIN cable to the purple connector on
the PS/2 to USB converter.
3. Connect the other end of the Mini-DIN cable to the “To Computer” connector
on the KeyRF receiver;
4. Plugthe USB connector into a USB receptacle on the computer.
5. You should notice the computer detecting the USB connection. It may ask
you to press “OK” a few times. Windows 98 may prompt for you to put in the
Windows disk for a driver. Once this is done, you should be ready to use the
KeyRF. If you are using presentation software, run a presentation in “show”
mode and try advancing slides.

LED Status
A red status indicator located next to the keyboard connector
indicates both keyboard and remote control activity. It turns
solid red when the attached keyboard is being used. It blinks
red whenever the RF transmitter button is pressed.
KeyRF Default Setup
The KeyRF is shipped ready to use and set up as below.
The default settings work well with overhead presentation
programs. After connecting the KeyRF System (see previous
two pages), just run your presentation software in “show”
mode and use the left button or button 1 to advance your
slides. Anothereasy way to test the KeyRF is to run your
favorite editor or word processor application. When you press
the left button, or button #1 it should print a space. The right
button, or button #2 should do a backspace.

Running Setup
If the default settings do not fit your application, custom keys
can be configured. To configure the Key RF, you must
connect and use a PS/2 keyboard to the KeyRF Receiver.
With the computer booted, make sure that you are in a text
based “shell”. On a DOS computer, that is the normal
command prompt. On a Windows computer, bring up a DOS
command shell. For Unix systems, bring up a login or Xterm
shell. For MAC Systems, run the SimpleText editor.
On the PS/2 keyboard (not the laptop keyboard), alternate
pressing Left-Shift, Right-Shift, Left-Shift, Right Shift, Left-
Shift..., until the following prompt displays:
[B] Buttons [D] Default [A] Address [C] Config [Q] Quit
Now you can enter setup data.First, a quick summary:
B -Button settings –Select this to change the keys configured for the
transmitter buttons.
D -Default Settings –Select this to return the KeyRF settings back to
factory default.
A -Address –Allows you to match the address of the transmitter.
Usually this is only used when you have more than one KeyRF
in the vicinity.
C -Configuration –This is used to configure the transmitter. Just
leave this alone.
Q -Quit –Quit configuration.

[B] Button Configuration
If you press “B” in response to the initial setup prompt, the
following will be displayed for a 2-button transmitter:
[L]Left [R]Right [B]Both [X]Lt->Rt [Y]Rt-Lt
The 4-button transmitter prompt:
[1][2][3][4] [5]4&1 [6]4&2 [7]4&3 [8]2&1 [9]3&1 [A]3&2
The following tables show what button actions are selected by
the response to the prompt:
2-Button Transmitter 4-Button Transmitter
Buffer # ßButtons Buffer # ß
Buttons Buffer # ß
Buttons
LLeft Button 1Button 1 6Buttons 4 & 2
RRight Button 2Button 2 7Buttons 4 & 3
BBoth Buttons 3Button 3 8Buttons 2 & 1
XPress Left, and while
holding, press right. 4Button 4 9Buttons 3 & 1
YPress Right, and while
holding, press left. 5Buttons 4 & 1 AButtons 3 & 2
Note: Programming either the X or Y actions will affect the way the KeyRF 2-button remote
works. If Xand Y are not programmed (factory default), the Left and right buttons will
cause the keystrokes to be sent to the PC upon pressing down the button. If X or Y are
programmed, then keystrokes will not be sent until the button is released or after a short
delay. You will notice this initial delay using auto-repeat. If you find you do not like this
mode of operation, use the [D] command to revert to factory defaults.
After selecting the button, the following prompt will appear:
[S]Single or [A]Alternating
Now press S for “Single” unless you want the button to
alternate between two actions. An example of alternating
actions is the buffer B default that alternates between
sending the “HOME” and “END” keys that directs the
presentation program to go to either the beginning or end of
the slide sequence.
If “S” for single is selected, the following prompt appears:
Press key(s), end with Right-SHIFT key:

At this point type the keys you wish to program for the button.
(Note that the keys will not echo as you type. This is to avoid
undesired consequences of displaying special keys such as
function keys.) Generally for a single button, about 10
keystrokes can be stored. Some keys require more memory
storage, so this will vary. If you type too many keys, it will
warn you, and then you can try again. If you need a shift key
in the sequence, use the left shift key, as the right shift key
is used to detect the end of the entry.
When you press the Right-SHIFT key to end the entry, the
initial configuration prompt will appear:
[B] Buttons [D] Default [A] Address [C] Config [Q] Quit
You can now program another button, re-program the button
you just programmed, or quit (Q) and try out the new button
settings.
If you selected the Alternating (A) button programming, the
following prompt will appear:
1st, Press key(s), end with Right-SHIFT key:
Type keys to assign to button, noting that you can only have
about 10 keys total, or if evenly divided, 5 keys per alternate
button action. When you end the first set of keys with the
Right-SHIFT, then the next prompt will be:
1st, Press key(s), end with Right-SHIFT key:
When you press the Right-SHIFT key to end the entry, the
initial setup prompt will appear:
[B] Buttons [D] Default [A] Address [C] Config [Q] Quit
You can now program another button, re-program the button
you just programmed, or quit(Q) and try out the new button
settings.
