Pick Up Your RC9800i and Take a Good Look

Congratulations on the purchase of your new RC9800i Touch Screen Remote Control!

This device is a “must have” if you want to enjoy a real state-of-the-art home

entertainment experience. You will see that using the RC9800i is very easy.

Before going into details, let’s first have a look at the RC9800i itself.

In this chapter you will get acquainted with the various elements of the RC9800i.

You will learn:

■how to turn the RC9800i on and off;

■how to operate the touch screen;

■how to use the hard keys;

■how to charge the device by means of a cradle;

■the purpose and use of the USB connector.

Note You must set up your RC9800i before you actually can use it to control other devices.

This set-up procedure is explained later on in this manual.

■On and Off

First-Time Power On

The first time you use your RC9800i,

you switch it on with the On/Off

Switch by means of a pointed object,

e.g. tip of a pen. The On/Off Switch is

located at the bottom of the RC9800i.

Note The first time you activate your RC9800i, an initial setup wizard appears. This

wizard will assist you in setting up your RC9800i. You must go through this initial setup

before you actually can use the RC9800i to control other devices.

Before you proceed, we advise you to fully charge your RC9800i. See page 8 for more

information on how to charge the device.

Everyday Use

During normal everyday use, the RC9800i will automatically go into standby mode

when it isn’t being used. Since you can leave the RC9800i on all the time, you don’t

need to switch the RC9800i off with the On/Off Switch. Leaving your device on also

gives you the advantage of not having to wait for the device to start up.

To wake up the RC9800i from standby mode, simply tap the touch screen.

Pick Up Your RC9800i and Take a Good Look

After you have properly set up the RC9800i, you can use the hard keys for the following

functions:

■Channel: Press this hard key to go one TV Channel up or down.

■Volume: Press this hard key to control the volume.

■Mute: Press this hard key to mute the device that is being controlled.

■Page: Press this hard key to cycle through several screens in a loop. When only one

page is available, the Page hard key is inactive.

■Cursor: Up-Down-Left-Right and OK hard keys. The action resulting from pressing the

cursor depends on what is shown on the touch screen. In general the cursor keys allow

you to navigate around.

The Up and Down hard keys can be either partially or fully pressed:

■Partially: To move through a list one item at a time, partially press the up or down

key.

■Fully: To move quickly through a list, fully press the up or down key.

■The OK hard key in the middle of the cursor is used to confirm a selection and to

trigger the corresponding action.

■The Touch Screen

The RC9800i has a landscape-oriented touch

screen. You can operate the touch screen either

with your fingers or with a small stylus-like object

with a blunt tip.

Attention! Never use a ballpoint pen tip or other

sharp object. These objects can damage the

touch screen.

■The Hard Keys

At the right-hand side of your RC9800i’s touch screen you will find several hard keys.

Pick Up Your RC9800i and Take a Good Look

■The Network Activity Indicator

At the top of your RC9800i there is an area that emits a blue light whenever the device

is communicating in a wireless network.

■Charging the RC9800i

The battery level of the RC9800i is displayed on the touch screen. At any time you can

charge the device as follows:

1Plug the power adapter into the cradle.

2Dock the RC9800i in the cradle.

The RC9800i is being charged and an

animation of the battery icon appears on

the touch screen .

It takes about 3 hours to fully charge the RC9800i.

When the RC9800i is in standby mode, the

battery lasts for approximately 2 weeks.

However, we advise you to recharge the device

frequently.

Note When the RC9800i is in standby mode, it will

beep from time to time when the battery is

getting low.

The Cradle as Digital Music Media Adapter

Besides using the cradle for charging the RC9800i, you can also use it as a digital

music Media Adapter.

Note A Media Adapter is a wireless digital device that allows movies, pictures or music

files to be streamed from a PC to non-networked audio-video devices like conventional

TVs and audio systems. A digital music Media Adapter has less functionality in that

it only allows music files to be streamed.

When you connect the cradle to the amplifier of your audio system by means of an

audio extension cable, the cradle will function as a digital music Media Adapter.

Note The audio extension cable is not included.

User Manual

Pick Up Your RC9800i and Take a Good Look

To turn the cradle into a digital music Media Adapter, proceed as follows:

1Plug one end of the audio extension

cable (not included) into the analog

3.5 mm Line Out port of the cradle.

2Plug the other end of the cable into an

audio input of your audio system’s

amplifier and select this input on your

amplifier as the current signal source.

3Dock the RC9800i in the cradle.

If the RC9800i is playing music via its

speaker, the RC9800i will be muted.

The audio content can now be played on

your audio system.

■The USB Connector

The mini USB connector is located at the left-hand side of your RC9800i.

You will be using this USB connector to connect to a PC in order to download new

firmware when it becomes available. For further information, see ‘Upgrading the

Firmware’ on page 52.

Learning the Basics

In this chapter, you will get to know more about:

■Controlling legacy audio/video devices;

■Home networking;

■Activity-Based Control.

■Controlling Legacy Audio/Video Devices

Legacy audio-video devices are non-networked devices that are typically operated by

means of a remote control. Your TV, for example, is such a device. When you press a

button on the TV’s remote control (e.g. Mute), the remote control sends an Infrared (IR)

signal to the TV. The TV receives this signal and executes the command (in this case:

mutes the speakers).

Today, most households own many legacy A/V devices. Since most, if not all, of these

devices come with their own remote control, the coffee table gets pretty crowded.

In this situation, the RC9800i is the perfect solution for you. The RC9800i is a universal

remote control that can control a wide variety of devices, such as TVs, VCRs, DVD

players and so on.

In the home plan above, you can see the RC9800i functioning as a universal remote

control: it is controlling the audio system, the flat screen TV, the VCR and the DVD.
