The AP IR Remote Control System is designed to allow easy operation
of all your Audio Perfect products from your desk or conference table,
rather than from the front panel of your Gentner audio conferencing
products.
It is made up of two components, the handheld infrared transmitter
(remote control) and the base station infrared receiver. The transmitter
is used to operate or customize the many features of the Audio Perfect
system, such as: connect, disconnect, dial a telephone number, redial,
store speed dial numbers, activate speed dial, hook flash, adjust
volume, and mute the microphones.
The AP IR Remote functions with an AP400 stand-alone system, an
AP400/AP800 combination, or it may be used with an AP800/AP10
combination. The default programming may be easily customized to fit
your needs by simply pressing certain key sequences on the transmitter
unit. In the event of a power outage, the new programming will be
stored in the receiver’s memory and will not be lost or altered.

INSTALLATION 5
Installation is simple, only requiring plugging the AP IR Remote
Receiver into the RS232 connector located on the back of the
AP400 or AP800 unit.
Located on the AP IR Remote Receiver are two LEDs—STATUS and
MUTE. The STATUS LED will glow red when the receiver is
connected to the AP product indicating the system is ready for a
valid command. When a button is pressed, the STATUS LED flashes
rapidly indicating a command has been received.
When the MUTE ON button is pressed, the MUTE LED will blink on
and off indicating the system is in a muted state.
