Getting Started
Connecting the Remote
Commander to your PC
You can now connect the Remote
Commander to your PC with the supplied
USB cable. Connect whenever you want
to verify correct operation of key/button
commands for an XPRESS function, etc.,
or to exchange setup data between your
PC and the Remote Commander.
IMPORTANT
Do not keep the Remote Commander
connected to the PC when the PC is in
standby/hibernation, otherwise, a
malfunction could occur. Be sure to
disconnect the Remote Commander from the
PC before standby/hibernation begins.
Furthermore, do not connect the Remote
Commander to the PC while it is in standby/
hibernation. Wait until the PC comes out of
standby/hibernation before connecting.
Notes
• The Remote Commander uses the battery
when connected to the PC. When you finish
the setup, unplug from the USB connector.
• If “E” is shown in the display, the Remote
Commander cannot be recognized on your
PC. Before connecting the Remote
Commander to your PC, be sure to install
fresh batteries in the Remote Commander.
• Do not disconnect the USB cable from your
PC while your PC is communicating with
the Remote Commander, as a malfunction
may occur.
• Only connect one Remote Commander to
your PC at a time. Otherwise, you will not
be able to download the settings correctly.
1 Connect the USB cable to the USB
connector of the Remote
Commander.
2 Connect the USB cable to the USB
connector of your PC.
