The next step is to determine which Waterpad version and keypad button icons are required to perform this job, as follows:
1.Since there are 4 sources, 4 banks will be required. We will need the
TNR | CD 1 | TUNER |

buttons in the right 2 columns have a small dark circle in their |

operate depending on the Waterpad version you ordered. |

operate, the buttons work as normal function keys. When you apply function icons to them, the unused LEDs are covered up as in Fig. 2.
2.The next step is to determine exactly what button icons are required to identify the source and control functions needed.
3.We begin this process by assigning the source buttons first; CD1, TUNER, CD2 and TAPE. See Fig. 2. We do this by using Dragon Drop IR™. You may also pencil out your button designations on the blank Waterpad illustrations at the end of this manual prior to using Dragon Drop if you wish.
4.Next, we assign the function control buttons based on the list of functions given in the client specification, in the same manner.
5.Now that all the buttons have been assigned (as shown in Fig. 2), it is necessary to memorize the IR commands and do the programming. Refer to the Dragon Drop IR™ Installation and Programming Instructions for this process.
NOTE: In this example, the button assignments are placed in what is considered an ergonomically pleasing arrangement. You may, however, assign the buttons in any arrangement you wish, to best fit taste and application. The only exception to this is the 4 source buttons. These are permanently assigned to the upper positions in the two right columns.
PROGRAMMING THE WATERPADTM - The Waterpad series was designed to be programmed entirely using the Dragon Drop IRTM system with software DD3 ver. 3.0 and higher. It cannot be programmed directly! Refer to the Dragon Drop IRTM DD4 Installation and Programming Instructions for details.
