LCD Touchscreen

The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) touchscreen on your RCU900 acts as a “virtual keypad.” This touchscreen makes it easy to program and use your remote with many devices. Once you select a device key, you put the remote in that device mode and it will remain in that mode until you press another device key. When you put the remote in a specific device mode, the menu that is activated on the touchscreen will be the menu for that mode. For example, if you put the remote in TV Mode, the menu you see on the touchscreen is for the TV Mode. For each mode, the LCD touchscreen includes two control screens, and you can easily switch between the two by pressing the SCREEN key at the upper right-hand corner of the LCD touchscreen. Each LCD touchscreen has an 18-position segmented keypad.

The LCD touchscreen remains blank when the remote is not in use. The LCD touchscreen turns on automatically when you press the SETUP key, any device key or the LIGHT key on the rubber keypad, or any LCD touchscreen key. The remaining rubber keys do not activate the LCD touchscreen.

LED Indicator Light

The LED (Light Emitting Diode) indicator light, located at the upper right-hand side of the RCU900 unit, lights up whenever a rubber key or any LCD touchscreen key is pressed. The LED indicator light flashes and beeps three times (approximately two seconds) to indicate any error condition.
