Congratulations
Congratulations on your purchase of the TAKE 10. The TAKE 10 has the ability to combine
many types of remotes into a single remote. It has many unique features that are available
through the high quality colour screen and the configurable menus. The screen displays icons
that are easily set up to represent your favourite channels. You can select any channel by
simply pressing the key next to the icon that represents the channel.
The TAKE 10 may provide additional functions that are not available on your device, and
there may be functions (e.g., menu functions) that initially may not be controlled by the
remote; but in such cases, the TAKE 10 can easily learn the commands from your original
remote. The TAKE 10 remote is capable of many other features that are also described in this
manual.

20-3-2009 4 033000=15090
The TAKE 10 can also control X10 RF devices, which allows you to control different electrical
devices located in various physical locations around the house, using radio frequency (RF)
signals. This gives you the freedom to control devices that are not in the same physical
location as the remote.
The TAKE 10 is very intuitive and has built-in Help, but it’s very useful to become familiar with
the remote by first reading this manual. After you’ve become familiar with the TAKE 10, the
first thing you need to do is to install the batteries and setup your remote using the on-screen
instructions.
Thank you for purchasing this remote, and we trust that it will give you many years of service.

11. Tips & Tricks about learning IR codes to a remote
1. Introduction
The TAKE 10 is designed to control up to 10 devices:
E.g.: TV, VCR, DVD, SAT or AUDIO. The TAKE 10 contains a library of codes
that are pre-programmed into the remote control. This library covers
nearly all the audio video products on the market today. The
codes have to be programmed once before use. This can be
done in different ways:
a. Using the Wizard to find the correct infra red codes.
b. Learn the codes from the original remote.
2. Insert the batteries
1. On the back of the remote, push down on the tab and lift the cover off.
2. Insert 3 AA Alkaline batteries taking note of the polarity (+/-).
3. Press the battery cover back into place.

20-3-2009 5 033000=15090
Please Note - Only use new batteries, some remote functions can fail if old batteries are
used. Never use a combination of new and used batteries.
Battery Saving Feature
By default, the TAKE 10 LCD automatically turns off if no keys are pressed for more than 30
seconds. This helps in extending the life of your batteries. The length of time before the LCD
screen turns off can be adjusted from 2 seconds to 35 seconds. Refer to Advanced Settings in
Chapter 8 for information on how to do this.
Memory
All the devices you set up, their codes, Punch-through settings, your favourites, etc., are
stored in permanent memory whilst you are changing batteries. As a result you will not lose
any of your stored settings when the batteries need replacing.

4. Setup
4.1 Using the Wizard
a) After you insert the batteries you can select your preferred language and then the Setup
Wizard screen [1] appears. Press any key at this screen to continue with the wizard. You can
exit at any time by pressing the HOME key (located just below the screen).
[1] [2] [3]
b) Pressing OK at screen [2] takes you to the next screen [3]. Pressing the Left navigation key
on the remote at screen [3] takes you to screen [4] that has 10 yellow arrows. Normally the
Left navigation key will get you back to the previous screen but this screen is an exception to
the rule to help you learn how the remote functions. Pressing the Back key again at screen 4
will take you back.
c) Try pressing the Back key a few times to go back through the Wizard and then follow the
instructions on the screens again to familiarize yourself with how to step through the screens
and go back.
You can go back and forth through the Wizard but once you’ve set up your devices and quit
to save the settings, you won’t see the Wizard again unless you do a Master Reset.
Pressing any of the 10 Side Keys (K1 thru K10) at screen
[4] takes you to the screen where you set up your first
device (TV).
See the Setting Up Your Devices section below.
NOTE: To do a Master Reset: Press the HOME key, select
Setup, select Advanced,
select Clear Settings, then select Master Clear.
This will erase everything you have set up in the remote.
4.2 Setting up your devices
For a known brand
After you have been through the Wizard for the first time, screen [1] shown to the right
appears. This is the start of the Wizard to set up your devices (TV being the first one).
Please note that the device you are setting up will need to be switched on prior to
programming the universal remote.
If you know your brand of TV, select ‘Yes’, this results in a faster search for your TV’s code.

20-3-2009 8 033000=15090
Selecting ‘No’ searches the complete library of TV codes, rather than just the codes for your
brand of TV. Please be patient if selecting this option as there are hundreds of IR TV codes to
search through.
[1] [2] [3]
Pressing the Side Key next to ‘Yes’ at screen [1] takes you to screen [2] where the most
common brands of TV are shown.
You can scroll through the brands by pushing the Side Keys adjacent to the ‘Next’ and ‘Back’
text. Screen [2] shows Sony being selected as an example.
Screen [3] asks that you point the Universal Remote directly at your TV and repeatedly press
(not hold) the Power button until your device responds.
Pressing the power button sends the On/Off command to your TV.
The LCD on the Universal Remote will show that you have selected code 1 of xx (xx will vary
by brand) as shown on screen [4].
When your device responds to the On/Off command press the save button.
[4] [5] [6]
Pressing Save will bring up screen [5].
This instructs you to test your remote with your TV, simply push some buttons on the remote
(other than Power) such as Channel Up/Down, Volume Up/Down and Menu.
This test will ensure that you have the correct code for your device as the Power button may
work, but other buttons may not, meaning you might have the incorrect code.
If you do find that some keys do not work select ‘Change Code’ (or the Back button) at
screen [5] to find another code that works.
Selecting ‘Label’ on screen [5] allows you to rename the device, e.g. you could call it “My
TV”.
This is an optional step and can also be done later on. Refer to chapter 4.3 for more details
on changing labels.

20-3-2009 9 033000=15090
Pressing Save Code at screen [5] takes you to screen [6] where you can set up your Universal
Remote to control a Cable box.
Please note, you can quit at this point and set up other devices later, or you can continue
and set up other devices, such as DVR’s, VCR’s or CD Players.
For a unknown brand
If you select ‘No’ at screen [1] (Do you know what brand you have?) then the procedure will
be very similar, the only difference will be that you will be searching through the entire library
of codes for your device, not just the codes for your brand, e.g. Phillips.
If you select ‘Yes’ when asked if you know your brand, but subsequently didn’t find a code
that works, you will be asked if you want to try again (in case you maybe missed it), or try all
the codes for your device.
If you have tried all codes for your device and still don’t find the right code, you can skip the
device, or select ‘Learn’. If you select Learn you can then learn the commands for your
device from its current remote control’s.
4.3 Setting Up Your Favourites
Once you have been through the Wizard and set up your devices (or at least a TV and
skipped the rest of the device setup) you will arrive at screen [1] below.
[1] [2] [3]
Pressing the Right Navigation Key will take you to screen [2].
Here you can enter a channel using the number keys on the remote. For example you might
enter channel 107. You can also include the ‘Enter’ or ‘OK’ buttons at the end of the channel
if your device requires one of these buttons to be pushed to change the channel, e.g.
‘107Ok’ or ‘107Ent’.
You can now press the Side Key next to Pick Logo on screen [2].
A screen [3] containing channel icons will appear.
Pressing the Next Key (Side Key 10) or the Back Key (Side Key 5) will allow you to scroll through
the icons. In this example we have selected the CNBC icon by pressing the corresponding
Side Key. Screen [4] now shows that we have chosen Channel 4, and the CNBC logo.
The device picked in the sample was Cable, you can change the device by pressing the
Side Key next to ‘Pick Device’.
Each time you activate a favourite the remote will control the device programmed, e.g.
when the CNBC favourite is selected the remote will send a command to your cable box. As
an example you may wish to program a Channel 10 favourite which sends a command to
your TV or Set Top Box.

20-3-2009 10 033000=15090
[4] [5]
If you wish to add a label to the logo press the Side Key next to the ‘Label’ text. This will take
you to screen [5] with a small label on top of the logo.
Initially, the label will be the channel number but this can be changed by using the numeric
keys in a similar fashion to sending a text message on a mobile phone.
Note – “Triple tap” name entry applies. Tap each numeric key to cycle through ALL caps,
numbers and lower case letters. E.g. repeatedly pressing the number 2 key cycles through
A,B,C,2,a,b,c. Pressing the 9 key cycles through W,X,Y,Z,9,w,x,y,z.
A space can be selected with the 0 (zero) key.
Adding a label is optional, if you don’t want to add a label you can simply select ‘Save’ to
save the settings for this favourite.
You may continue to add up to 10 favourites (more can be added later, see chapter 7.2).
After you have finished setting up your initial set of favourites you will be taken choose
whether the favourites you have just set up are to be stored in the HIS or HERS group (later
you can set up favourites in several other groups.)
Selecting an option will take you to the HIS or HER favourite screen, showing the logos of the
favourites you have just set up.
Please note you can reorder the logos later on.
When you have finished setting up your favourites, press the HOME key (located below the
remote’s LCD screen) to return to the home / main menu screen.
5. Using the remote
Assuming you followed the steps on the previous pages and have
set up some devices and some favourites you are now ready to
use the remote.
Please refer to next sections for details on how to set up more
devices, favourites and other functions.
Pressing either the HIS or HERS key a second time accesses the X10
Home Automation modules that you’ve set up for All Rooms. Use
the Side Keys or the Navigation Buttons to select the icon you want
to control.

20-3-2009 11 033000=15090
X10 RF Devices
Selecting X10 from the MODE key screen displays the Pick Group screen
[6].
• Press the side key for the room that has the device that you want to
control. (For example, press the Side Key for “Basement.”) The screen
shows the device icons according to the way
“Basement” was set up. (If a Group is grayed-out, then no devices were
set up in that room.)
• Press the Side Key to send a command to the device. The status of
the device changes. You can see the status of the device at the
bottom of the screen; and the icon also changes in appearance.
ExtendedFeatures
Any Side Key associated with an icon that has extended features follow with additional
screen(s) that can be used to control the device. In addition, the Main Keys on the TAKE 10
can be used to control X10 devices in unique ways.
Some icons will only provide On or Off functions, some may provide
dimming. It depends on the device’s capabilities. The example shown at
the right [7] has two X10 Home Automation devices, a camera base and
a module that turns outside lights on and off. Pressing the Side Key next to
the camera icon displays an additional screen to control the actions of
the camera (screen 8).
Use the Side Keys to operate the camera by pressing the Side Key and
holding it down for actions that require movement.
The remote’s Main Keys can also be used to control a camera, according
to the following:
• OK/Select will centre the camera.
• UP, Down, Left, and Right navigation keys control the camera pan
features.
• CH up and down changes the camera focus.
• VOL up and down will zoom the lens.
• Numbers 1- 5 can be use for camera presets.
Other Controls
In this example [9], the House icon has a LM12 Lamp Module associated
with it. Pressing the Side Key next to the House icon turns the lights on and
off. Lights can be controlled by using certain Main Keys as follows:
• CH up and down turns the light On and Off.
• VOL up and down controls bright and dim if applicable.
Labeling Feature
Two lines are available for labeling when you label an icon. Screen 10 is
an example of a TM13 labeled with a bath icon. The labels Bath and “Extra Bath”
were associated with the icon. The following is an example of how to use the Label
feature.
• Press the HOME button to display the setup screen. Select Setup.
• Select X10 using the Side Key.
• Select Add/Edit at the next screen using the Side Key.

Do the following to set up a Sleep Macro.
• Set up an X10 device using the Wizard or Add-Edit mode, for example a light in your Living
Room with an LM12 module.
• Select Home/Setup/X10/More/Sleep Macro.
• Select “Pick Module.” The Pick Room screen appears.
• Select the room that has the module you want to control.
• Select the module using the Side Key. Try a simple “Off” command for now, but understand
that you can string many commands from different modules and different rooms together in
conjunction with delays as well.
• Select Save and then Done.
• Select Home/Sleep/X10.
• Press the Side Key to toggle when the command(s) will be sent for 15 minutes to up to an
hour and a half away from the current time.
• Press OK to exit.
Favourite key
Press the HIS or HERS key at any stage to access the favourites you’ve set up. Or press the
FAVORITE key, then select your favourites group. Pressing the Side key next to the logo will
change your device to that channel. Selecting a favourite group that has not yet been set
up, takes you to the Setup Wizard.
Important - Make sure you point the remote at your device until the channel changes.
Pressing a favourite key might send the command for a 3 digit channel e.g. 401, if you don’t
point the remote at your device until all three digits have been sent you might just get
channel 40, or just channel 4. Watch the flickering halo at the bottom left of the screen, it
flickers for each digit sent. It also shows what device is being controlled.
Pressing the HOME key at any time will access the main menu in which you can set up various
remote functions or access other features.
By pressing the MODE key, you will be prompted to select a device type to change the
mode that the remote is in. E.g. if the remote is in Cable mode then the hard keys such as
Channel Up/Down, Volume Up/Down etc. will operate your cable box.
When you select a mode, any extra keys for that mode, and any extra keys you have learned
for that mode are displayed. The current mode of the remote is displayed with an icon in the
lower left of the LCD screen.
Before continuing on with the next section, press the HOME key to return to the main menu
screen. Press the Side Key K5 next to the Help icon and follow the prompts for a tutorial on
how to use the remote.
[10]

20-3-2009 13 033000=15090
5.1 Quick Power
QuickPower is a way of quickly turning all your devices on or off from one easy to use screen.
Press the HOME button to go to the main menu [1] and press the Side Key next to the
‘QuickPower’ icon.
Only devices you have previously set up are displayed, screen [2], the others are greyed out.
In the example shown, only TV, Cable box and Satellite receiver are configured.
Press any key that isn’t greyed out to send the “Power” command for that device.
[1] [2] [3]
QuickPower for X10 Devices
• Set up an X10 device using the Wizard or Add-Edit mode, for example a light in your Living
Room with an LM12
module.
• Select Home/Setup/X10/More/QuickPower Macro.
• Select Pick Module, and select the command (s) you want to send. Try a simple “Off”
command for now, but understand that you can string many commands from different
modules and different rooms together in conjunction
with delays as well.
• Select Save and then Done.
• Select Home/QuickPower.
• Press the Side Key next to the X10 icon to trigger the Quick Power Macro.
5.2 Sleep
The Sleep function lets you set any device to turn off after a preset time. You can set the off
time in increments of 15 minutes, up to a maximum of 1 hour and 30 minutes.
To access the Sleep function, press the HOME key to go to the main menu [1], and press the
Side Key next to the ‘Sleep’ icon.
You can now set a sleep timer for any or all of the devices that you
have set up, i.e. any that are not greyed out.
The screen will look the same as the ‘QuickPower’ showed at [2].
If we press the Side Key K1 next to the TV icon once, a sleep timer of 15
minutes will be set.
If we then press Side Key K2 next to the Cable box icon twice, this will
set a sleep timer of 30 minutes.
Finally if we press the Side Key K7 next to the Sat icon five times, a sleep
timer of 1 hour 30 minutes is set.
Timers will be displayed as show in screen [3]. [4]
Pressing OK takes you back to the Home screen and saves your sleep timers. If you then
return to the Sleep screen, you will see the timers have started to count down, as shown on
screen [4].

20-3-2009 14 033000=15090
Important – Make sure you have the remote pointing at the device(s) you’ve set sleep timers
for so it can send the Power command to the device(s) at the time(s) you have set.
5.3 Macros
Macros are a series of commands triggered with the push of one button. They are very useful
if you want to trigger multiple functions across different devices at one time.
E.g. you may want to watch a DVD, this could involve turning the power on to the TV and
DVD player, changing the TV’s AV input, turning on the surround sound speakers and finally
pressing play on the DVD player.
A Macro can trigger all these commands with a single button.
Tip: Before setting up your macro, write down the series of keystrokes that is composed of on
a sheet of paper.
To set up a Macro, press the HOME Key to return to the main menu [1], and press the Side Key
next to the Macro icon. If you have not set up any Macros, a ‘welcome screen’ will be
displayed, prompting you to set up your first Macro, just press OK to proceed.
Select the first device you wish to include in your Macro by pressing the Side Key next to the
‘Pick Device’ text. The remote will cycle through the devices you have set up, which will be
displayed on the bottom left hand corner. Refer to screen [5] which shows ‘TV’ selected.
[5] [6] [7]
To add a command to the Macro you have two options:
1. Press the key on the remote control that corresponds to the command you wish to send,
e.g. the Power button or the AV input button.
2. Press the Side Key next to the ‘Pick Key’ text, this shows you the ‘extra’ keys (functions
that can’t be accessed via the hard buttons on the remote, these are device specific) and
keys that have been learned for that device. Refer to screen [6] for an example.
Once you have pushed a button on the remote, or selected a function from ‘Pick Key’ you
will see the function/s appear at the top of the screen.
You can now add a time delay to your Macro functions by pressing the Side Key next to the
‘Set Delay’ text, each time you press the ‘Set Delay’ key, a 1 second delay will be added to
the last function added to the macro.
Delays are particularly useful when you have to wait for one function to complete before
sending the command for another function, e.g. You may have to wait a few seconds for
your TV to power up before you can change the channel.
You can continue to add as many functions to your Macro as you require. Once you are
done, press the Side Key next to the Save button. This will take you to a summary screen
showing you all the functions of your Macro. From this screen you can Delete your Macro,
Rename your Macro, e.g. Movie or Cable TV, or you can Add additional functions to your

20-3-2009 15 033000=15090
Macro by pressing the Side Key next to the ‘Add Key’ text, this will take you back to edit your
Macro.
Once you are happy with your Macro press the Side Key next to ‘Done’. This will save your
settings and return you to the Home screen[1]. To access your saved macros simply click the
Side Key next to the Macro icon on the Home screen[1]. You will be taken to screen [7], to
activate your Macro press the corresponding Side Key.
You can add additional Macros, edit or delete existing Macros by clicking the Side Key next
to the ‘Setup’ icon on the main screen[1].
Then press the Side Key next to the Macros icon this will bring up a list of all the spaces
available in which Macros can be allocated (27 in total), macros that you have already
created will be highlighted in green.
To add a new Macro, click on the Side Key corresponding to an empty macro (one
highlighted in black), this will take you to screen [5], then follow the steps above to configure
you new Macro. By pressing a Side Key next to an existing Macro (one highlighted in green)
you will allow you to edit the Macro.
6. Learning
It is possible to learn commands from an existing remote control and store them under the
Main Keys or Side Keys on the Universal Remote.
At the Home screen[1], press the Side Key next to the Setup icon, then press the Side Key next
to the Learn icon.
Screen [8] will be displayed. Here you can select whether you want to store a learned
command from an existing remote under the 10 Side Keys or the Main keys on the Universal
Remote.
Pressing any of the Side Keys on the left (K1-K5) will select Side Keys.
Pressing any of the Side Keys on the right (K6-K9) will select Main Keys.
If you press a right Side Key (Main Keys) you are going to learn, for example, the Chan Up key
from an existing remote and store it under the Chan Up key on the Universal Remote.
Or learn the Power key from an existing remote and store it under the Power key on the
Universal Remote.
If you press a left Side Key (to select Side Keys) you are going to learn, for example, the DVD
Zoom function from an existing remote and store it under a Side Key on the Universal Remote.
You will then be able to name the Side Key ‘DVD Zoom’ and access this function from the
Mode Screen when the remote is in DVD mode, once you have learned this command.
[8] [9] [10]

20-3-2009 16 033000=15090
6.1 Main Keys
Once you have selected whether you will store your learned commands under Main Keys or
Side Keys you will be taken to the device selection screen [9]. You can now select the device
you would like to learn keys for. In screen [9] we have only set up TV, Cable box and a
Satellite Receiver, all other devices are greyed out, however you are still able to select any
device to learn a command for.
After you have selected the device, you will be prompted to line up the remotes as shown on
screen [10], and press the key on the Universal Remote that you want to store the learned
command under, e.g. the Power key.
You then press and hold (in this example) the Power key on the other remote, until the display
shows that the command has been successfully learned (screen [11].).
If the screen comes up with Failure, try pressing the key on your existing remote again.
Pressing Done when you have finished will automatically save all of your leaned keys.
Note – for some types of keys you might need to hold the key pressed, but for others a quick
press is sufficient. You may need to experiment with the length of the press if you find learned
keys send a command multiple times. Refer to ‘Tips on Learning’ at the end of this manual.
[11] [12] [13]
6.2 Side Keys
Learning Side Keys is very similar to learning Main Keys. In screen [8], select Side Keys by
pressing any Side Key on the left of the LCD (K1-K5). Select the device you would like to learn
keys for.
Once you have selected a device screen [12] will be displayed that will show the extra keys
set up for that particular device by default. Extra keys are represented by small symbols or
text. Side keys without an extra function are labelled as L5, L6, L7, etc. You now need to
assign a Side Key for the command you are about to learn.
Note – you can overwrite the default extra function keys if required. For this example let’s
select L7. Next, point the remote you would like to learn existing commands. Press OK when
you are ready to proceed. Now press the key on your existing remote you wish to learn, hold
the key pressed until the screen says the command was successfully learned. Refer to ‘Tips on
Learning’ at the end of this manual if you experience any problems at this step.
You can now change the label for the key you have just learned if required (in this case L7)
by selecting Change Label in screen [13]. The label can be a combination of text and
numbers and can be edited using the numeric keypad on the Universal Remote in a similar
fashion to sending a text message on a mobile phone. Select OK to finish and save the
learned command. The next time you set the remote to the mode that you learned this key
under, the screen will now include your newly learned (and renamed key).

numeric keys on the Universal Remote in a similar fashion to writing a
text message on a mobile phone. [19]
When you have entered the name, press OK to save the new name for
the favourites group.
8. Setting Up X10 Devices
The TAKE 10 - coupled with other X10 Home Automation Modules - gives you the ability to
control everything electrical in your home. Once you set up your remote, you can control
most any electrical device from the remote, using the keys that have been configured for
X10 Home Automation Modules.
Description
X10 Home Automation systems use three types of signals - Infrared (IR), Radio Frequency (RF),
and Power Line Carrier (PLC). The TAKE 10 can send either IR, RF signals, or both, depending
on how you’ve set up the remote to control different equipment.
Setting Up Your Remote to Send RF commands
When the TAKE 10 is in X10 mode, it transmits RF commands to X10 devices that respond to
RF signals. The following example describes how to use RF to control a TV (so you can control
it from anywhere in your home). Keep in mind that when you set up a non RF device to be
controlled by RF signals, you need to use any of our video sender
transmitters or powermid receivers, which converts the RF signals it
receives back in to IR signals to turn the TV on or off.
• Press Home [20].
• Select Setup using the Side Key.
• Select More using the Side Key.
• At the following select Wireless.
• The Mode [21] screen appears; select the device you want to set for
RF by pressing its Side Key. (In this example, it’s TV.) The RF symbol
appears on the TV icon. Press OK to Save.
Note: After following the above steps, when you make selections in TV [20]
Mode, you will notice that the transmit signals at the bottom of the
screen are now Green.
This indicates that the remote is sending RF and IR to the TV. If the signals
are in red, it means that the remote is transmitting IR only.
When triggering an X10 module or wall switch using the TAKE 10, the
signal is typically sent from the remote using RF on a specific house
code. The RF signal is received by the transceiver (either TM13, CM15, or
security console) on the matching house code. The transceiver then
forwards the signal onto the house wiring. This is now a PLC signal. Any
modules that match the house and unit code transmitted will either turn [21]
on or off, depending on the signal sent.
