8.The Waterpad is now wired into the final system (refer to Figs. 3 & 5) and all commands tested again -- before applying the button icons.

9.If the system functions correctly, the button icons can then be applied, as shown in Fig. 4. Finally, the Waterpad is mounted to the wall as shown in Fig. 6, 7, 8 & 9.

NOTE: The needed button icons are included with the Waterpad.

Applying Icons To The Waterpad Buttons

Each version of the Waterpad is supplied with 128 button icons on two mylar sheets. An assortment of both source and function icons are provided and were chosen to cover practically any conceivable installation. You will note that an extra set of Volume and Mute icons are provided in blue. Also, an extra set of function symbol icons (play, stop, pause, etc.) are provided in grey. Use these icons to enhance visibility under low light conditions or for color coding of functions or taste considerations. For indoor applications, you would normally use the more sedate white icons.

CAUTION: Before applying the icons, be sure to do the following first:

a)Complete all configuring and programming using the Dragon Drop IR software system.

b)Transfer the programmed data to the "real" Waterpad.

c)Print out a copy of the virtual programmed Waterpad from Dragon Drop and keep it nearby for reference.

d)Test each button on the "real" Waterpad (without the icons attached) and be sure it executes all desired commands.

e)Be sure the membrane surfaces of the Waterpad, your hands and the icon sheets, are completely dry and free of any grease or dirt.

1.Carefully peel off a desired icon from the sheets. Try not to touch too much of the adhesive surface.

2.Align it very carefully within the rectangular embossed button area on the membrane of the Waterpad and press it into place. See Fig. 4.

Be sure you have the correct button location. Use the printed virtual Waterpad as your guide.

CAUTION: You must be very certain that you have the correct location and that the icon is aligned

correctly.
