The Network Activity Indicator
At the top of your RC9800i there is an area that emits a blue light whenever the device is communicating in a wireless network.

Charging the RC9800i

The battery level of the RC9800i is displayed on the touch screen. At any time you can charge the device as follows: 1 Plug the power adapter into the cradle. 2 Dock the RC9800i in the cradle. The RC9800i is being charged and an animation of the battery icon appears on the touch screen. It takes about 3 hours to fully charge the RC9800i. When the RC9800i is in standby mode, the battery lasts for approximately 2 weeks. However, we advise you to recharge the device frequently.
Note When the RC9800i is in standby mode, it will beep from time to time when the battery is getting low.
The Cradle as Digital Music Media Adapter
Besides using the cradle for charging the RC9800i, you can also use it as a digital music Media Adapter.
Note A Media Adapter is a wireless digital device that allows movies, pictures or music files to be streamed from a PC to non-networked audio-video devices like conventional TVs and audio systems. A digital music Media Adapter has less functionality in that it only allows music files to be streamed.
When you connect the cradle to the amplifier of your audio system by means of an audio extension cable, the cradle will function as a digital music Media Adapter.
Note The audio extension cable is not included.
To turn the cradle into a digital music Media Adapter, proceed as follows: 1 Plug one end of the audio extension cable (not included) into the analog 3.5 mm Line Out port of the cradle. 2 Plug the other end of the cable into an audio input of your audio systems amplifier and select this input on your amplifier as the current signal source. 3 Dock the RC9800i in the cradle. If the RC9800i is playing music via its speaker, the RC9800i will be muted. The audio content can now be played on your audio system. 1

The USB Connector

The mini USB connector is located at the left-hand side of your RC9800i. You will be using this USB connector to connect to a PC in order to download new firmware when it becomes available. For further information, see Upgrading the Firmware on page 52.

Learning the Basics

In this chapter, you will get to know more about: Controlling legacy audio/video devices; Home networking; Activity-Based Control.
Controlling Legacy Audio/Video Devices
Legacy audio-video devices are non-networked devices that are typically operated by means of a remote control. Your TV, for example, is such a device. When you press a button on the TVs remote control (e.g. Mute), the remote control sends an Infrared (IR) signal to the TV. The TV receives this signal and executes the command (in this case: mutes the speakers). Today, most households own many legacy A/V devices. Since most, if not all, of these devices come with their own remote control, the coffee table gets pretty crowded. In this situation, the RC9800i is the perfect solution for you. The RC9800i is a universal remote control that can control a wide variety of devices, such as TVs, VCRs, DVD players and so on.
In the home plan above, you can see the RC9800i functioning as a universal remote control: it is controlling the audio system, the flat screen TV, the VCR and the DVD.
What You Should Know About Home Networking
Home Networking and Connected Devices
The RC9800i goes one step further than ordinary universal remotes. The RC9800i is revolutionary in that it can also operate most of the connected devices in your home network. Connected devices are devices that comply with the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) A/V Protocol. UPnP allows various devices like PCs and intelligent networked appliances (e.g. Media Adapters) to communicate with each other. More specifically, UPnP allows connected devices to find each other and to communicate about their capabilities and their content. Throughout this manual, connected devices are understood to be compliant with the UPnP A/V Protocol.
In the home plan above, a typical situation is depicted: A desktop PC (with peripherals like monitor, mouse and keyboard) and a Wireless Access Point (WAP) are located in the study. In the living room, a flat screen TV is hanging on the wall. An audio system sits in the left-hand corner and there is a Media Adapter in the right-hand corner. The Media Adapter is wired to the flat screen TV or to the audio system.
Note A Media Adapter is a wireless digital device that allows movies, pictures or music files to be streamed from a PC to non-networked audio-video devices like conventional TVs and audio systems.
As you can see, the RC9800i on the couch in the living room, controls not only legacy audio/video devices, such as the TV and the audio system, but also connected devices such as the PC and the Media Adapter.

Getting the Settings Right
When you start the RC9800i for the first time, a sequence of screens will guide you through the initial setup process. During this setup process, you will be guided through the most important settings concerning: The RC9800i; Your home situation, more specifically the rooms where you are going to use the RC9800i; The audio-video devices that you want to control with the RC9800i. Setting up the RC9800i may take between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the amount of audio-video devices that you are going to control with it.
Note This initial setup process is carried out only during the first-time startup of the RC9800i. However, you can modify all settings afterwards as explained in Adjusting the Settings beginning on page 42.
Attention! Before you proceed, we advise you to charge your RC9800i for 3 hours.

RC9800i Settings

Calibrating the Touch Screen
On first use you have to calibrate the RC9800is touch screen. This ensures that the touch screen will respond accurately when you touch it.
Note It is recommended that you calibrate the screen and go through the initial setup using the blunt tip of a non-metallic stylus-like object. In daily use, you can operate the device with your fingers.
Tap very precisely the center of the crosshairs that appear in the four corners of the screen. The RC9800i may repeat this process a number of times, until its screen is accurately calibrated.
Note If you notice that after some time the touch screen no longer responds accurately to the screen areas you are touching, you can recalibrate the touch screen. See Screen Settings, on page 43.
End User License Agreement
The RC9800i will display a message informing you of the existence of the End User License Agreement (EULA), included in the RC9800i box. Read this EULA carefully. Your use of the RC9800i and its software is subject to your agreeing to be bound by and become a party to he Software End User License Agreement included in the RC9800i box and any license terms presented electronically to you during setup of the RC9800i and/or printed terms included in the RC9800i box. Only if you agree to be bound by these terms, choose I Agree. Otherwise discontinue using the RC9800i.

Selecting Your Location

Next, you will be prompted to indicate what region you live in.
Attention! The location you select in this screen affects applications like the Electronic Programming Guide, the remote control codes database and the questions asked during setup.
1 Select either North America or Europe. The RC9800i will automatically restart to configure the location settings and will then display the following welcome screen.
2 Choose Next to start the setup process.

Network Settings

Tip Make sure that you have your Wireless Access Point (WAP) settings information at hand. You will need this information in the following screens. If youre unfamiliar with network terminology, consult the Glossary on page 60. Attention! Most wireless devices can also operate in peer-to-peer mode. This means that there is a direct wireless communication link between two communicating devices without intervention of a Wireless Access Point. If you have set up devices in peer-to-peer mode, we strongly recommend that you make your wireless home network operate with a Wireless Access Point (WAP) and that you disable all peer-to-peer links.

Note The Status button gives information concerning your IP address, Network and MAC address.
4 If you connect to the Internet via a proxy server, select Use HTTP proxy and choose Proxy Settings.
Note A proxy server is an intermediary between your own PC and the Internet to ensure security, allow administrative control, provide a caching service and so on. If your Internet Service Provider (ISP) uses such a proxy server, please check your ISP documentation or your browser settings to retrieve the proxy settings.
5 Choose Next. A screen will appear with the message that the RC9800i is applying your network settings.

Highlights

Universal IR code database A universal IR code database refers to a library of infrared codes built-in to a particular remote. This feature allows a remote to control your equipment without needing to learn individual signals. Select the correct infrared code sets in the database for the devices you want to control, to enable control of virtually every audio/video system element on the market today regardless of model or brand. Activity based user interface Instead of operating your components one by one, activity based control blends the most commonly used functions into activities such as "Watch a movie" or "Listen to CD". When a user selects 'watch a movie', rather than having the end user address each individual piece of equipment - such as DVD player, TV and multimedia receiver -, one button holds all necessary commands to be able to start watching a movie: switch on the TV, switch on the amplifier and select the right input, switch on the the DVD player and start playing. Integrated WiFi WiFi networking, also known as IEEE 802.11 uses radio frequency signals to communicate in a similair fashion as wired computer networks. It uses TCP/IP networking protocols for the basic communication. Color touchscreen LCD display Color Liquid Crystal Display with touch screen input ensures better readability and the capability to visualize colour buttons and backgrounds. Easy selection of buttons and commands is possible using the touch screen. Control A/V Wireless Streaming From the comfort of your couch, you can control the rendering of digital content (play, stop, volume,.), that is residing elsewhere (e.g. on a PC) on legacy A/V equipment (TV, audio set). The control device communicates over UPnP with the source (PC) and renderer (multimedia adapter connected to TV or audio set) and initiates a content stream between both. Photo preview The UPnP protocol allows on-device preview of digital photos that are available in the network. One-touch convenience The setup wizard provides a step by step guide that tailors the device to perfectly match your home entertainment system. By learning what equipment you have, and how it is interconnected, the device creates its own macros that allow full control of your home entertainment system. Learning functionality Learning functionality refers to the process through which a remote control captures and stores infrared signals from other remotes for later use. When device codes are not included in the on-board database, they can always be learned from the original remote, simply by pointing to it. Future proof To keep your device up to date and enhance its functionality you can download new softwares that become available. Connect the device to the Internet, either directly or through a PC, and launch the upgrade utility. taste by convenient genre, time and date filters. As program details are refreshed every 24 hours, via a fully automated download over a wireless connection, you're never short of the latest and greatest info on what's on. Setup wizard

One-touch control allows you to perform multiple commands with one press of a button via a macro. A macro combines a string of preprogrammed commands under one single button. Therefore, it simply takes one button press to execute a series of functions. Internet EPG An electronic program guide (EPG) is an application used to list current and scheduled programs that are or will be available on each channel and a short summary or commentary for each program. The Internet EPG offers you a program overview exactly tailored to your
