Congratulations!
Thank you for purchasing the TRC-820 handheld remote
control for your Total Control system. This remote control
connects to your system via its integrated Wi-Fi antenna and
offers control of connected devices throughout your home or
small business.
Features and Benefits
● Two-Way Metadata Feedback
When the Total Control system is integrated with both
URC and compatible third-party products, the TRC-820
provides two-way feedback in addition to device
control. This includes album art, visual volume
feedback as well as real-time status of devices such as
thermostats, door locks, and cameras.
● User Defined Shortcuts
Quickly access your favorite system functions through a
user-defined shortcut menu. Imagine creating a menu
of one-button solutions that execute your preferred
activities.
● Pick-Up Sensor
The TRC-820, with its integrated pick-up sensor, comes
to life the moment its position is changed. Lift the
remote and it immediately wakes up, turns on the
backlight, illuminates the LCD screen, and instantly
connects to the local Wi-Fi and your Total Control
system.
●Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery and Charger
Save money by using the included rechargeable lithium
ion battery and charger.

Before Getting Started

The TRC-820 only functions in conjunction with URC’s
Total Control system in combination with an MRX
Advanced Network System Controller. This product will

(LAN) architecture as well as Wi-Fi configuration and
other system connections.
Once configured to operate with your Total Control
system most changes to the TRC-820, or the system,
may be performed locally (at your home), or from any
remote location (via internet, with your permission).
