Getting the Settings Right

When you start the RC9800i for the first time, a sequence of screens will guide you through the initial setup process. During this setup process, you will be guided through the most important settings concerning:

The RC9800i;

Your home situation, more specifically the rooms where you are going to use the RC9800i;

The audio-video devices that you want to control with the RC9800i.

Setting up the RC9800i may take between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the amount of audio-video devices that you are going to control with it.

Note This initial setup process is carried out only during the first-time startup of the RC9800i. However, you can modify all settings afterwards as explained in ‘Adjusting the Settings’ beginning on page 42.

!Attention! Before you proceed, we advise you to charge your RC9800i for 3 hours.

Calibrating the Touch Screen

On first use you have to calibrate the RC9800i’s touch screen. This ensures that the touch screen will respond accurately when you touch it.

Note It is recommended that you calibrate the screen and go through the initial setup using the blunt tip of a non-metallic stylus-like object. In daily use, you can operate the device with your fingers.

Tap very precisely the center of the crosshairs that appear in the four corners of the screen. The RC9800i may repeat this process a number of times, until its screen is accurately calibrated.

Note If you notice that after some time the touch screen no longer responds accurately to the screen areas you are touching, you can recalibrate the touch screen. See ‘Screen Settings’, on page 43.
