INSTALLING BATTERIES

1. On the remote control’s back, p sh the tab

and lift off the battery cover.

3. Press the battery cover back into place.The

tab sho ld click when the cover is locked.

4. If batteries are inserted correctly, the display

will t rn on and show all keys. If a key is

not pressed after 7 seconds, the display will

t rn off.

NOTE: The batteries will need replacement if one of

the following conditions occurs:

1. Pressing any key turns on all keys and icons.

2. The remote control no longer operates and the

ee “Battery Use And afety” on page 42 for

additional information.

H W KAMELE N™W RKS

Kameleon™ allows wireless controllers to

dynamically change their appearance and

f nctionality, to match the home entertainment

environment. Moreover, this technology provides

nparalleled ease-of- se and s perior control by

delivering a niq ely int itive, graphical interface

that intelligently ill minates only the active keys.

The OFA Kameleon 8-Device Remote ses

Kameleon technology to provide the versatility

of an LCD remote control with the feel of a

traditional p sh b tton nit. The res lt is a

st nning, bright display with engaging anima-

tion and to ch-sensitive graphics for the ser.

The remote control incl des convenient Menu

Driven programming. The displays are divided

into two types of interactive screens: Device Menus

for normal remote control se, and Programming

Menus for feat re set p.Acting like it namesake,

Kameleon changes the Device Menu for the device

being selected. For example, selecting TV displays

a main men that contains channel selection,

vol me control,and a keypad. However, selecting a

DVD player still displays a men with those same

keys as the TV,b t now navigation keys and

transport controls are added for the DVD device.

Several devices have additional men s that can be

accessed sing SCR LL (see Device Menu creens,

starting on page 32). For example, TV has three

men s: a main men with keys for a general-

p rpose TV, a second men screen that adds

navigation keys and removes F RMAT,INPUT and

ENTER keys, and a third men screen that adds

INPUT,ENTER,and PIP keys. Depending on desired

feat res,a ser has the flexibility to se any men

screen that works best for the selected device.

NOTE:The AUX,CD,DVD,and PVR modes do not

have additional menu screens even though SCROLL

is displayed.

Animated key graphics also provided enhanced

operational feedback, so the ser can easily see

what mode is active and when the commands

are comm nicating with a device. The end res lt

of Kameleon technology is a simple, elegant, and

intelligent way of organizing a large n mber of

remote control keys for eight different devices in

a relatively small case.
