INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing FLPR, a New Potato Technologies

product. Welcome to the sophisticated simplicity of FLPR, the

infrared Universal Remote Control designed for iPhone® and

iPod touch® mobile digital devices. FLPR is a new way to

control electronic devices. Connect FLPR to your iPhone or

iPod touch and download the FLPR app from the iTunes® App

StoreSM to get started.

If you have questions about using FLPR, please see our

website dedicated to FLPR at www.newpotatotech.com/flpr.

FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS

TOUCH SCREEN CONTROLS

Control multiple devices on a scrolling touch screen interface

that replaces the confusing maze of buttons on factory

remotes. FLPR provides you with a simple and elegant user

experience.

A POWERFUL INFRARED COMMUNICATIONS PROCESSOR

FLPR contains a powerful infrared transmitter and

communications processor that is able to communicate with

almost any infrared device.

A UNIVERSAL CONTROL FOR ALL OF YOUR COMPONENTS

The FLPR application has an extensive database of infrared

command codes and can control most TV’s, Cable or Satellite

boxes, DVD and CD players, and other home entertainment

devices.

TEACH FLPR NEW COMMANDS

If you have an unusual component that the database does

not already support, you can use your existing remote to

teach FLPR custom controls.

GETTING STARTED

Download the free FLPR software application from the

iTunes® application program. You can access iTunes from

your iPhone/iPod touch or from your computer. If you need

to install iTunes on your computer, download it here:

http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.

To download FLPR open iTunes and search the iTunes Store

for “FLPR”. Select the New Potato Technologies FLPR icon.

Download the free application. If using your computer, sync

your iPhone or iPod touch with iTunes to install the

application.

Insert the FLPR hardware accessory into the connector at the

base of your iPhone or iPod touch. Open the FLPR application

by touching the application icon on your device’s home

screen.

The FLPR screen will rotate so that the top of the screen faces

the FLPR accessory. To use FLPR, you will need to point the

accessory in the direction of the infrared device you are

using.

GENERAL USE NOTES

Your overall FLPR user experience will closely resemble your

other experiences using remote control devices. You will be

able to select onscreen buttons using the touchscreen

interface of your device. Once you have selected a device,

swipe your finger vertically (from the bottom to the top of

the screen) to scroll down and access additional keys and

menu options. To access settings for FLPR and your device,

touch the grey function bar at the top of FLPR’s screen and

touch the “Settings” icon (shown here).

WHAT’S NEW

FLPR updates released in app version 1.1.1 include:

TRAIN CUSTOM DEVICE: You can create a custom remote

based on preprogrammed layout or in list format.

EDIT REMOTE: Reprogram buttons for existing remotes.

PROGRAMMABLE MACRO DELAYS: Program delays into

macro sequences to allow for breaks between keys in a

macro.

MASTER VOLUME CONTROL: You can have one volume

control for all devices.

SHOW/HIDE INACTIVE BUTTONS: Simplify your remote

layouts by showing or hiding buttons with no IR codes.

NEW CAPTURE SCREEN: “Forget code” key for simplifying

learning custom keys.

BASIC OPERATIONS

1. ADD YOUR CUSTOM

DEVICE

Tap the grey function bar.

Touch “Add.” Choose

“Custom” at the bottom of

the “Add Device” picker

that appears. Select “Next.”

2. CHOOSE YOUR

LAYOUT

You have a choice

between selecting

“Standard” or “Button

List”. “Standard”

provides you with a pre-

programmed device

layout while “Button

List” provides a vertical

list of your programmed

buttons.

CUSTOM DEVICE NAME:

Enter the name of your

new custom device. Select

“Next.”

A. STANDARD

Choose “Standard” in the “Create a custom device”

menu and select “Next.”

TRAIN CUSTOM DEVICE (LEARNING MODE) CONTINUED

TEACH FLPR YOUR CUSTOM CODE

Point the top of your factory remote towards the front of the FLPR hardware accessory (where the circular IR emitter is). Press

and hold the button on your factory remote that you want FLPR to remember. While holding the button on your factory remote,

pay close attention to the onscreen indicator, and adjust your factory remote to send the strongest signal to FLPR. This allows you

to verify that FLPR is receiving the best possible signal. Release the key on the factory remote. Press “Learn” on FLPR’s screen to

put FLPR into “learn” mode.

(Note: When you are in “learning” mode, the signal strength feature is disabled, and will be replaced by a graphic that shows you

are in “learn mode”.)

Press and hold the key on your factory remote, until prompted by the application to release it. If successful, FLPR’s screen will

read “IR Code Learned.” If you see “IR Code Failed”, an error occurred and you should try learning the key again. To test the key

you just learned, press the “Test” button. Press “Save” to save the button you just programmed. The long button with the newly

entered button name will now function as the key you just taught to FLPR.

(Note: If you have more buttons to program, touch the plus symbol next to “Custom Device Learning” at the top of the screen.

Repeat step II for each button you want to teach FLPR.)

The number of custom keys you can create is not limited. When you are done programming keys, select “Next.”

(Continued on next page)

B. BUTTON LIST

Choose “Button List” in the “Create a custom device menu and select “Next.”

CHOOSE YOUR BUTTONS

Give “Button 1” a name by touching the “+” button next to Button 1. Type the name using the keyboard that pops up. Name the

button that you plan to program. For example, if you are programming the power button of your custom device’s remote, you

might rename “Button 1” to read “Power.” Press “Done” after you have named the button. To add more buttons, press the “+”

button.

the current device, and can span across any device you have

saved. Only the buttons that generate IR signals will be

recorded in the macro. Macros are stored independently

from the devices, meaning that if you delete a device such as

a TV or DVD player, the TV keys in the macro will not be

deleted when the device is deleted. Note that when you are
