With the learning eye you can quickly configure each device in your household or office. In addition, with the macro function, you can initiate a chain of up to 25 commands with the touch of a button. With the convenient and easy to use M1+, you can control all your devices with one remote control solution. No longer will you have to search for several different remotes! The M1+ does it all!

Power Supply Tips & Precautions Be sure that the positive (+) and negative (-) polarities of each battery match the polarities indicated in the compartment. Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat or flame. Keep the batteries out of the reach of children. When the batteries are weak, it will be increasingly difficult to control devices from a distance. Replace the batteries immediately when the battery low power warning icon appears in the information screen. Be sure to replace the batteries if they have been used for longer than two years; there might be a danger of leakage. Device configuration data will be automatically saved when batteries are being replaced.
Touch Screen Precautions Please read the following instructions carefully Tap the LCD touch screen gently; never use force. Do not use a pen or any sharp object to tap the screen. Otherwise, you might damage the surface. You can use a blunt object such as a pencil eraser or the cap of a pen. Keep the touch screen dry. Wipe off any spills immediately. The M1+ is not waterproof; never immerse it in liquid. Don't expose the M1+ to extreme temperatures. Keep it away from heat sources. Avoid dropping the M1+. Don't drop anything on the touch screen. The glass will break! Clean the LCD touch screen with a soft cloth. If needed, dampen the cloth slightly before cleaning. Never use abrasives or cleaning solutions.

CHAPTER 3

Touch Screen Buttons
The touch screen buttons enable you to control your devices as you would with your remote control, set up macros, and configure your LCD panel the way you want. Using the touch screen is easy. Simply press the screen to activate a function. You will hear a beep when you press the button. NOTE If you don't hear a beep when you press the screen, you may have deactivated the beep. Press any device button twice to activate the beep function. If you still don't hear a beep, press the button a little more firmly. The following illustration shows all the functions and their related icons available on the M1+ for your reference.

Operating The M1+
This chapter will tell you how to set up the M1+, how to automatically configure devices, and how to use the advanced features such as the macros.
Before you use the learning function
Before you start configuring your remote controls using the learning function, please heed the following precautions: Don't configure more than one remote control for each device on the M1+. For example, don't use one TV remote control for some functions under the M1+'s TV device screen, and then use a different TV remote control for other functions. Configure the M1+'s device button using only one remote control for all the buttons. If you are going to configure a different remote control for an M1+ device button after you have previously configured the device button for a different remote control, first delete all the commands for the device button. Refer to Using the delete bank function on page 10.
