NAD owner manual Introduction, Installing the Battery, SET-UP of the S70 Remote Control

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the NAD S70 System Remote Control. With the S70 you can control all components of your NAD Silver Series system. The S70 can easily be customised to suit your particular NAD Silver Series system and provides additional functionality such as a clock, Sleep and on/off timer.

Although the S70 is primarily meant to complement the NAD Silver Series, it will also function with most remote controlled NAD products from the C Series.

To ensure long-term, trouble free operation, avoid the remote control being exposed to shocks and water. Should water enter the case of the remote control, remove the battery as explained in this manual and have it inspected by a qualified service technician before attempting to use it again. Use a dry soft cloth to clean the remote control casing. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with soapy water. Do not use solutions containing benzol or other volatile agents.

Using a fresh battery, the NAD S70 will operate up to a distance of 20ft (7m) and within an angle of 45° either way from a straight line from the front panels of your NAD Silver Series system. Make sure there is a clear line-of-sight between the components of your system and the window on the front of the S70. Note that strong lighting and direct sunlight can affect the range of the S70.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

Alkaline batteries are recommended for maximum operating life. One 9V (PP-3) battery must be fitted in the battery compartment at the rear of the Remote Control handset.

•Using a Phillips No.1 screwdriver, carefully remove the screw from the battery compartment lid.

•Lift the cover slightly at the back and then slide it backwards so it disengages itself from the S70’s casework.

•If replacing battery; unplug the old battery from the battery snap-on connector. Be careful not to stretch the connector’s wires.

•Plug the new battery onto the snap-on connector; make sure the orientation is correct and that the wires aren’t trapped beneath or over the battery itself when placing it inside the remote control’s casework.

•Slide the battery cover back on and replace the screw to hold it in place. The screw should engage easily to the thread, don’t use force to replace the screw, you may damage the thread in the S70’s casework.

The low power consumption and energy saving features of the S70 mean that the battery will last a long time. When you notice that the range of the S70 is decreasing it may be necessary to replace the battery.

NOTE: Be careful not to lose the battery compartment screw. Should the original screw get lost, replace only with a screw of the exact same type (metric, 2mm, 8 to 10mm long). Using the wrong type of screw will permanently damage the casework of the S70 remote control.

SET-UP OF THE S70 REMOTE CONTROL

Component selection

The NAD S70 remote control can be customised to suit your particular NAD Silver Series system by selecting only those components present in your system.

The NAD S70 is a "menu-driven" remote control, where many of its buttons vary in function, depending on which Menu was selected. The display next to these buttons indicates which functions are available. In normal operation, the Main Menu is the starting point. Figure No.1 shows how the menus are organised.
