Introduction
This users’ manual describes the operation of the Gyration Universal 4-in-1 (3 IR devices
+ 1 RF device) Media Center and PC Remote Control Unit (RCU). The RCU contains an
embedded micro gyro for motion sensing and in-air control of floating cursor. This RCU
features IR code database and IR learning capabilities to universally control standard home
theater devices such as TVs, VCRs, Digital Video Recorders (DVR), DVD players, CD players,
cable/SAT boxes, etc.
The RCU is also equipped with a 2.4 GHz RF transceiver to send cursor movement
information and other commands to the PC via a USB transceiver. The radio frequency (RF)
transceiver delivers a range of up to 100 feet with no line-of-sight requirement. The 800
possible channels of the RF transceiver provide high resistance to interference from other
radio devices.
Battery Installation and Information
The Media Center and PC RCU requires two AA Alkaline batteries. To install the batteries:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the batteries to the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery
compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover and snap it into place.
Note: Reprogramming may be required after batteries are replaced.
Battery Saver
The RCU saves battery power by automatically going into a low-power state if no button is
pressed after a few seconds. See the Gyro section for gyro battery saver mode.
Product Registration Information
Keep your sales receipt to obtain warranty parts and service and for proof of purchase.
Attach it here and record the serial number in case you need it. The serial number is located

Gyro Operation
The RCU provides in-air control of the PC’s
cursor via patented gyroscopic motion
sensing technology. This means mouse-like
cursor control, from anywhere in the
room, without the need of a flat surface.
There is no line-of-sight requirement
so you don’t have to point the RCU at the PC
you are controlling. Remember the
following things when using the in-air cursor
control feature of the RCU:
• Use your thumb to press the gyro and
mouse buttons.
• Click the center button to activate the
gyro motion-sensing control. Single click
and hold to move the cursor and release
it to “park” the cursor where you want it.
Double click the center button and release it
for continuous cursor movement similar to a
standard mouse.
• The right and left buttons function like
standard mouse right-click and left-click
buttons.
• Move the cursor by flexing your wrist, not
your arm or body, much as you would with
a flashlight; side to side and up and down.
Placing your arm on an armrest or on your
lap will make this motion more comfortable.
• The RF Transmit LED indicates when gyro
motion or other information is being sent
independent of which mode is selected on
the RCU.
