Densen Gizmo User manual
GIZMO
GIZMO
SYSTEM REMOTE
This is the Densen system Remote with a capital R.
Instead of supplying a simple plastic remote we
decided to make the ultimate remote. The Giz-
mo uses a new way of transmitting infrared signals
called burst mode. This secures a long transmission
distance, and enables you to use the Gizmo with-
out having to point it directly at the product to be
controlled. It has an internal rechargeable battery,
which means you do not have to change the bat-
teries, just connect the charger.
