Operation
1. Make sure the WB-IP and WC-IP are
both powered on. The status light on both
devices will ash.
2. The WB-IP and WC-IP will pair in a range
up to 100m/300ft (line of sight).
3. To pair the WB-IP with the WC-IP follow
the instructions in WP-IP software guide
A9009-4983 to select the controller from
within the software, the unique identier
(MAC address) will be required, it is
located on the underside of the controller.
4. When paired the WB-IP status light will
show solid blue.
5. When paired the WC-IP status light will
show solid blue.
The WC-IP will perform the current functions as
default:
• Joystick: Scroll through text, control speed
of scroll.
• Button 2: Press to skip to previous story.
• Button 3: Press to skip to the next story.
• Button 4: Function 1 (assignable in
Winplus-IP).
• Button 5: Function 2 (assignable in
WinPlus-IP).
• Button 6: Press to skip to the top story.
(See Device Conguration / General tab
of WC-IP in WP-IP software application for
options).
To force the WC-IP to unpair from its current
WB-IP press and hold the F1 button for 3
seconds.
To put the WC-IP into deep sleep (to conserve
battery life) then press and hold the F1 button
for 5 seconds.
Sensitivity and dead band range can be
adjusted. (See Device Conguration/Speed
Prole tab of WC-IP in WinPlus-IP software
application for options).

11
Operation
Line of sight
300 ft (100 m)
Max. line of sight
Recommended positioning:
• Ensure that the WB-IP has a clearance of
100mm around the side and top surface , so as
to not adversely impact wireless performance.
• Ensure Status LED is visible for easy diagnosis.
• 100m / 300ft max line of sight; obstructions
placed in path between WC-IP and WB-IP will
reduce operating range.

12
Maintenance
Routine Maintenance
The WB-IP and WC-IP require minimal routine maintenance, apart from checking the connections and
overall operation periodically.
Routine checks
During use, check the following:
• Check PoE Ethernet cable for signs of wear or damage. Replace as necessary.
• Check the PoE Ethernet cable is connected properly.
Cleaning
During normal use the only cleaning required should be a regular wipe over with a dry, lint-free
cloth. Particular attention should be paid to the connection port.

13
Charging
Charging Battery
1. Connect the USB cable to the wall charger (power adapter).
2. Plug the USB cable into the USB-C port on Controller
3. Plug the USB power adaptor into an electric socket and switch on the power supply.
4. Wait until controller is fully charged approximately 2.5 hours.
LED Status: Flashing RED = charge required, Flashing GREEN = charging, Solid GREEN = charged.
There are no user serviceable parts in the controller, when the battery no longer holds a
charge the controller can be returned to Vitec Productions Solutions Service Centre for
refurbishment or disposal. (See page 15) for safe and proper disposal.
