Transmitter
The Cue Command long-range handheld transmier allows
the selecon of one of 16,777,216 (224) unique addresses.
All new transmiers and receivers come with default
sengs and are tested prior to packaging. Because all
transmiers will control all docks, it is a best pracce to
customize your equipment prior to the performance. To
do this, use the following procedure:
1. Using the supplied paperclip or similar device,
press and hold the CREATE buon (Illustraon #1)
through the hole in the back of the transmier
case. The blue LED will light up in the adjacent
window indicang that a new address is being
created. The address will be randomized for as long
as the buon is held down.

2. Aer a few seconds, release the buon and
the randomized address will be saved. The LED
will begin flashing to indicate that the Control
Permissions may now be set.
3. Press each of the five buons on the transmier.
It does not maer in what order the buons are
pressed, only that each buon is pressed at least
one me. If a buon is not pressed during this
learning phase, that buon will not transmit during
use.
4. Press the CREATE buon again with the paperclip
or wait seventeen (17) seconds for it to me out.
The address and Control Permissions are now set.
Once the address and Control Permissions are set, the
transmier is now programmed and you are ready to
customize the receiver in the dock.
Special note:
Some users have found it beneficial to deliberately omit
certain buons (step 3 above) from the programming
sequence. For example, let’s say you had an assistant in
the audience who was there to adjust the volume level and
you did not want them to have control over other aspects
of your music. Selecng the volume up and down buons
during the programming sequence would give them
volume control but they could not start, stop or fade-out
the music.

Under normal usage, the transmier’s baery will
last approximately 24-months. When replacement is
necessary, the baery may be replaced with a cr2032
baery.
To replace the baery, use your thumb to slide the cover
(Illustraon #1) downward exposing the baery holder.
Use a knife, small flat-head screwdriver or similar tool to
slide the exisng baery down and out from underneath
the metal holder. Do NOT liup on the baery as it may
break the connecon between the holder and the circuit
board. Breaking the connecon on either side will render
the transmier useless.
To install the new baery, slide it into the holder and
replace the cover.

Cue Command Appliance
The Cue Command Appliance houses the Apple connector,
audio port, video port and the power supply port. The
unit also contains a radio-frequency receiver which can
accommodate up to forty (40) handheld transmiers.
Because the device is shipped from the factory accepng
only commands from the enclosed transmier, it is not
necessary for the new user to make any modificaons. You
may however change the receiver by using the following
procedures:
Both the learning bu on and
LED are located at the bo om of
this portal. A large straightened
paperclip seems to work best
for programming. With a bit
of pressure, you’ll feel a “click”
when the paperclip ac vates the
bu on.
The LED is somewhat diffi cult to
see and may be best viewed in a
darkened room.

To remove all transmitters from the device
1. Connect the appliance to power.
2. With a straightened paperclip, press and hold
(LED lights solid but may be difficult to see) the
LEARN buon on the boom of the dock enclosure
(Illustraon #2) for approximately 11 seconds. If the
LED is flashing when released, the buon was not
held long enough. Repeat the step.
3. Follow the procedure to add a transmier.
To add a transmitter
1. With the same paperclip, press the LEARN buon
on the boom on the dock enclosure for one-
second and release. The yellow LED will start
flashing.
2. Press any buon on the handheld transmier.
The LED connues to flash.
3. Press the LEARN buon again on the dock
enclosure to complete the procedure. The LED
goes dark.
To verify the transmitter is functioning properly
1. Press one of the buons on the transmier and
you’ll see the light from the LED through the
portal. Every me the device receives a signal,
the LED will illuminate. Test all five buons on the
transmier to verify communicaon.
