Enhancements and Batteries
Use only approved enhancements and batteries. Do not connect incompatible products.
Water- Resistance
Your device is not water-resistant. Keep it dry.
Connecting To Other Devices
When connecting to any other device, read its user guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not
connect incompatible products.
Additional Safety Information
Small Children
Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out of the reach of small
children.
Operating Environment
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used eitherin the normal use position or when
positioned at least1.0 centimeters (3/8 inches) away from the body. When acarry case, belt clip, or
holder is used for body-wornoperation, it should not contain metal and should position the device
the above-stated distance from your body. To transmit data files or messages, this device requires
a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be
delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure the above separation distance instructions are
followed until the transmission is completed.
Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to the device. Do not place
credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the device, because information stored on them
may be erased.

Care and Maintenance
Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care.
The following suggestions will help you protect your warranty coverage.
• Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids or moisture can contain
minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If your device does get wet, remove the battery,
and allow the device to dry completely before replacing it.
• Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and electronic components
can be damaged.
• Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic
devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal temperature,
moisture can form inside the device and damage electronic circuit boards.
• Do not attempt to open the device other than as instructed in this guide.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards and
fine mechanics.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the device.
• Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper operation.
• Use a soft, clean, dry cloth to clean any lenses, such as camera, proximity sensor, and light
sensor lenses.
• Use chargers indoors.
• To reset the device from time to time for optimum performance, power off the device and
remove the battery.
These suggestions apply equally to your device, battery, charger, or any enhancement. If any
device is not working properly, take it to the nearest authorized service facility for service.
Cleaning
To clean the N800’s screen, turn the unit OFF using the Power button. First use a soft dry cloth to
remove contamination. If dirt is still present, use a damp cloth that has been squeezed of excess
water. Use of strong chemicals and/or some cleaning agents may discolor the polyester film that
makes up the touch screen.

ELAN HOME SYSTEMS N800 4" Handheld Controller
1. Introduction
The N800 4" Handheld Controller provides an intelligent, affordable solution
for controlling audio, video, and automation equipment in a multi-room envi-
ronment or as a stand-alone controller (in a Home Theater, for example). The
N800 4" Handheld Controller provides the freedom to control home theater
lighting, drapes, blinds HVAC, security and more from anywhere in the home
using a standard 802.11b/g WiFi wireless network. An ELAN SS1 System
Station is required for two-way RS-232 feedback and control.
Touch Screen Technology
The N800 utilizes a polyester plastic film suspended over a glass panel which
is then adhered to the front of a color LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen.
Depressing the polyester film with the included stylus allows the film to touch
the glass panel underneath, generating a location signal that is read by the
electronics. The color LCD display is an active matrix TFT Liquid Crystal
Display. Please use fingers or the included stylus only when operating this
unit. Do not use pens, pencils, etc. as these may damage the polyester film.

Figure 2.1: System Overview
The first step to a good design is to map the system. It is advisable to mark
up a copy of the house floor plan with speaker, keypad, touch panel, touch-
pad, volume control, and equipment locations, etc. Make sure that all loca-
tions are decided upon before pre-wiring commences so that all necessary
wiring and installation hardware is in place. This unit will be interfacing with
other components such as relay-controlled devices, source components,
sensors, serial controllers, and user interfaces, so it is essential that ALL sys-
tem components are accounted for prior to the pre-wire stage.
Secondly, make a detailed list of all components. Include source equipment,
touch panels, touchpads, keypads, RS-232 controlled devices, relay con-
trolled devices, power supplies, sensors, and the SS1 System Station itself.
Be sure to include necessary electrical boxes, structured wiring enclosures,
telephone lines, rough-in brackets, ELAN Precision Panels, patch cables, etc.

ELAN HOME SYSTEMS N800 4" Handheld Controller
Pre-Wire
Pre-wiring for the SS1 System Station requires careful system planning. Pay
close attention to where each component will be located and ensure that
the appropriate wires are run to the correct locations! Make sure to plan for
the future. It is often advantageous to pre-wire for components that may be
installed later.
Wireless Access Points
Wireless Access Points (WAPs) take information originating from a wireless
N800 Handheld Controller and send it to the system’s router. Keep in mind
that local conditions and different WAP ranges will make each installtion dif-
ferent. Test the range before finalizing the installation locations of WAPs. Use
Cat-5 cable to connect the WAP to the router.
Router
A Router (wired or wireless) is the heart of the N800’s communication system.
Location of a wired router is not critical, as long as access is provided for
connections and service. A wireless router must be located where it’s signal
can reach the WAP and other wireless devices on the network. A router will
typically share duties between the Handheld Controllers, ELAN VIA!dj Digital
Music Servers, VIA!dvdj DVD Controllers, and any computers in the custom-
er’s home. Use Cat-5 cable to connect the Router to the SS1 System Station.
SS1 System Station
The SS1 System Station is an RS-232, IR, Sense and Relay controller. It also
translates the N800’s 8.02.11b/g WiFi commands into actions that can con-
trol system functions including Home Theater or a zone control of an ELAN
multi-room system. Future software/feature-set enhancements to the SS1
are field-upgradeable through VIA!TOOLS setup software.

The battery recharges when connected to the included 5VDC 890mA wall
transformer. The N800 will operate for approximately three hours of continu-

System Types
The VIA!SS1 System Station combines functions such as IR Routing, RS-232
control, relay activation and Ethernet control into a single device, allowing
the N800 and other ELAN Handheld Controllers and wired VIA!s and Olé
Touchpads to control many aspects of an A/V system and/or automation sys-
tem. The SS1 has three primary application types:
STAND- ALONE - Connection Hub for N800 Handheld Controllers in Stand- Alone/
Home Theater applications.
ZONE - Connection Hub for N800 Handheld Controllers when used as a controller
for a zone in an ELAN Multi- Room Controller- based system.
SYSTEM - System Controller when connected to wired VIA! Touch Panels, Olé
Touchpads and ZONE SS1 Connection Hubs.
Note: Please consult the SS1 Installation Manual for complete
details of SS1 system configuration and installation.
