Pointer

About pointer

Instead of navigating the screen with the arrow keys, you can use the pointer. You can move the pointer - a blue arrow - over the TV screen by moving the remote control. Just like you move the cursor on a computer screen with a mouse.

You can use the pointer to navigate Smart TV Apps* and Internet pages on TV. Some Smart TV Apps might not support the use of the pointer. When the pointer is not available, you can use the arrow keys to navigate the screen. You can adjust the speed of the pointer or if you never want to use the pointer, you can switch it off.

*Gradually more Smart TV Apps will become available for use with the pointer.

Using the pointer

When you open the Smart TV start page, the pointer is shown in the middle of the TV screen.

Put your thumb on the OK key - do not press it - and move the remote control from the wrist, no need to move your arm. You can let go of the OK key and leave the pointer where it is. You can move the remote control and pick up the pointer again when you put your thumb back on the OK key.

When you press an arrow key to navigate, the pointer disappears. To recall the pointer, put your thumb on the OK key and briefly jiggle the remote control.

2 - Select TV settings and press OK.

3 - Select General settings > Pointer and mouse speed and press OK.

4 - Press the arrows u (Up) or v (Down) to increase or lower the speed.

5 - Press the arrow x (Right) to test the speed you set.

6 - Press the arrow w (Left) to return to the setting. You can adjust the setting again.

7 - Press OK to store and close the setting.

Switch off

If you want to navigate the Smart TV and Internet pages with the arrow keys only, you can switch off the pointer.

To switch off the pointer . . .

1 - Press h, select S Setup and press OK. 2 - Select TV settings and press OK.

3 - Select General settings > Remote control pointer and select Off.

4 - Press b, repeatedly if necessary, to close the menu.

IR Sensor

The remote control of the TV uses RF (radio frequency) to send its commands to the TV. With RF, you do not need to point the remote control at the TV.

However, the TV can also receive commands from a remote control that uses IR (infrared) to send commands. If you use such a remote control, always make sure you point the remote control at the infrared sensor on the front of the TV.

When you hover the pointer over a link . . .

1 - The pointer lights up.

2 - Press OK to open the link.

When you hover the pointer over a text field . . .

Press OK to enter text.

Speed

You can adjust the speed of the pointer, the speed at which the pointer moves on screen.

To adjust the speed . . .

1 - Press h, select S Setup and press OK.

Pairing

This remote control uses radio frequency (RF) to send its commands to the TV. Contrary to remote controls using infrared signals, with this remote control you can send commands without pointing at the TV.

With no need to point the remote control, using the keyboard on the back or sending commands from another room - changing the volume or switching channels - is easy. Additionally, the TV can notify you when the battery power of the remote control is low.

Pairing the remote control

For the remote control to communicate with the TV, both TV and remote control should be paired with each other. Once paired, you cannot use the remote control to control another TV.

When you started the initial TV installation, the TV invited you to press the OK key, and by doing so, the pairing was done. When you switch off the TV, the pairing is stored. You can pair up to 5 remote controls with this TV.
