The PC Control Remote can be use as a Wireless Mouse Remote and as a Universal Remote Control.

To control a PC the PC Control remote works with the wireless USB receiver CM21A (included in your PC Control kit).

The PC Control Remote is designed to control up to 6 devices (TV, VCR, DVD, SAT, PC and Home Automation Modules or any other device under AUX mode key). The PC Control Remote contains a library of codes that are pre-programmed into the remote control. This library covers nearly all the audio video products on the market today.

1.Open the cover on the back of the PC Control Remote.

2.Insert 4 AAA alkaline batteries, verify that they are placed correctly with the + on the battery in the same position as marked inside the battery compartment.

3) PC operation

The PC remote works with the wireless USB receiver CM21A. The remote sends wireless RF signals to the CM21A receiver which is connected to your PC's USB port.

The enclosed CD contains a special version of the popular ShowShifter software. You can use ShowShifter to control your PC’s MultiMedia features. ShowShifter uses special fonts and big buttons to let you read the information from your PC screen from a distance.

You are even able to display the information on your TV screen (to do this, your PC will need to have a TV out connection).

another room? With the optional Marmitek PC to TV Sender (REF: 09516) you can. For more information, visit www.marmitek.com.
