Important Safety Instructions
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufactur-
er's instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug
has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is
provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, con-
sult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufac-
turer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving
the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods
of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when
the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.
Electrical Warning
The HW-WALLREMOTE-1 is a low-voltage device. Never install the Wall Remote
in an electrical back box containing high-voltage wiring. This would cause a
serious electrical danger and violate United States national electrical codes.
FCC Compliance
This equipment generates radio frequency energy and if not installed in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions may cause radio interference.
This equipment complies with part 15, Subpart J of the FCC rules for a Class A
computing device. This equipment also complies with the Class A limits for radio
noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation
of the Canadian Department of Communications. These above rules are designed
to provide reasonable protection against such interference when operating the
equipment in a commercial environment. If operation of this equipment in a resi-
dential area causes radio frequency interference, the user and not InFocus
Corporation, will be responsible.
Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by
InFocus Corporation, could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

I. Introduction
The Wall Remote (HW-WALLREMOTE-1) is a single-gang AV control device pre-
programmed to control virtually any InFocus projector. It can also be repro-
grammed to control other devices.
A modular interface with 6 optional button inserts enables control of almost any
projector, plasma screen, or monitor available. The Wall Remote may be field-pro-
grammed in minutes using IR-learning technology. Multiple units may be quickly
and easily configured using wireless cloning technology.
One Wall Remote can learn codes from multiple remote controls to control more
than one device..
The Wall Remote may be installed in a single-gang back box (not included).

III. Wiring at Display Device
The Wall Remote connects to
the Cable Assembly terminal
block with the included three-
conductor cable. The cable
brings power to the Wall
Remote from the Cable
Assembly, and carries IR sig-
nal to the display device from
the Wall Remote.
Run the included three-con-
ductor cable from the display
device and wall outlet to the
Wall Remote.
At the display device side,
connect the three-conductor
wire to the Cable Assembly
terminal block (included).
Attach the IR emitter bud to
the appropriate IR window of
the AV device.
Note: Some devices are
extremely sensitive to exact bud placement. Be sure that the IR emitter bud is
placed directly over the IR receiver.
Connect the three-conductor cable to the screw down posts in the terminal block.
The three used positions on the terminal block are clearly labeled +6V, Gnd, and
IR. You will match the wires to the corresponding positions on the Wall Remote
captive screw connectors with identical labels.
Note: The unlabeled position on the terminal block should be unwired.
Affix the terminal block to any con-
venient surface with the provided
double-sided tape.
Warning:Do not rewire the IR
emitter! The emitter is protected
by a 150 ohm current-limiting
resistor. Connecting it directly to
the 6VDC power supply will dam-
age the emitter.

IV. Wall Remote Installation
1. Assemble Insert Modules
Power Insert Modules
Power insert modules are of two types: tog-
gling and discrete. If the device remote con-
trol has separate buttons for POWER ON
and POWER OFF, use the discrete power
insert module. If the device remote control
has one toggling POWER control button,
use the toggling power insert module.
Note: Most InFocus models will require Toggling Power.
Source Insert Modules
Source insert modules are of two types:
toggling and discrete. If the device remote
control has separate buttons for COMPUT-
ER and VIDEO inputs, use the discrete
source insert module. If your remote control
has one toggling SOURCE control button,
use the toggling source insert module.
Note: Most InFocus models will require
Discrete Source selection.
Volume
Volume insert modules are of two types:
control and blank. If you wish to control vol-
ume on your device, use the control insert
module. If you do not wish to control device
volume, use the blank insert module.
Note: Select one and only one insert module of each type. For example, you can-
not use two source insert modules.

2. Attach Bezel IV. Wall Remote Installation cont’d
Once you select the three insert modules appropriate for your device remote con-
trol, place the insert modules right-side-up against the circuit board. Secure them
into place with the bezel.
Be sure the bezel is correctly placed right side up. The top side of the bezel has
two small circular cut-outs designed to fit over the IR receiver window and the
Status LED.
Note: It is possible to remove the bezel from the
front of the unit after installation. Insert the tip of a
flathead precision screwdriver into the four slots
adjoining the bezel mounting pegs and gently
lever them inwards to free the bezel.

3. Wiring Controller IV. Wall Remote Installation cont’d
Connect the 3-conductor cable to the captive screw connector on the back of the
Wall Remote. Be sure that the wires agree with the connections on the Cable
Assembly end (page 4). For example, the wire landing at the +6V position on the
terminal block should connect to +6V position on the Wall Remote.
Note: Verify the captive screw connectors are fully open (turned counterclockwise)
before inserting the wires. If the screws are turned the wrong way to secure the
wires, they can make a physical connection without making an electrical connec-
tion.
Note: The sequence of labeling is the same on the terminal block and the Wall
Remote; e.g. the Wall Remote uses cross-over wiring.
Wire landing must match
landing on barrier strip at the
display device side
(see pg. 4).

4. Install Controller IV. Wall Remote Installation cont’d
Optional: Mount the Wall Remote to a single-gang wall box (not included). The
inner screw holes on the Control Board should be used to affix the Wall Remote
to the wall box. The outer screw holes will be used to affix a wall plate over the
face of the Wall Remote (see Part VII. Complete Installation).
Plug in the 6V wall wart to power the Wall Remote.
Warning: The Wall Remote is a low-voltage device. Never install the Wall
Remote in an electrical back box containing high-voltage wiring. This would
cause a serious electrical danger and violate United States national electrical
codes.
5. Configure Wall Remote Audio Feedback (optional)
By default, the Wall Remote will respond to button presses with an electronically-
generated click sound. To toggle this sound on and off, press and hold any button
on the Wall Remote while inserting a paperclip into the Wall Remote programming
aperture. The Wall Remote will beep quickly three times to indicate that AUDIO has
been set to OFF.
Caution: Be gentle with the paper clip to ensure that you do not damage switch
mechanism. 8
