Welcome

Congratulations on your purchase of the

Take Control™ TC1000 system controller.

The TC1000—a high-performance touch-

screen system controller—is the first user-

programmable system controller available

with software wizards and an enhanced

PC interface. It operates nearly all infra-

red-controlled electronic devices through

an easy-to-use touchscreen. For ease-of-

use and simplicity, the TC1000 touch-

screen gives you common controls for all

of your devices.

Exciting Features

Take Control’s many features will

enhance your use of IR-controlled

devices:

lThe touchscreen interface puts all

device commands at your finger tips.

lThe Setup Wizard and built-in

database of popular remote codes

get you started quickly.

lThe Setup Wizard enables you to

easily add new and future devices to

your TC1000.

lSystem-controller software adds

unlimited customization and configu-

ration possibilities to make Take

Control work the way you want.

With Take Control, you eliminate the

clutter of multiple remote controls—a

large memory gives your Take Control the

capacity to replace them all.

Note Despite efforts to make Take Control work

with all devices, some IR-controlled products can-

not work with the TC1000, due to incompatible

frequencies.

Introducing Activities

Take Control presents you with screen-

based “activities,” instead of rows of

confusing buttons. Activities are events,

such as watching TV or listening to a CD.

When you set up an activity, you combine

the controls from all devices needed to

complete the activity. For example, you

might include controls from a TV, VCR,

and stereo receiver for the activity of

“Watch TV.”

A Home menu provides you with a list of

the activities that you can choose, like

Watch TV. When you select an activity on

the Home menu, the controls for your

electronic devices appear on the touch-

screen as a button menu. You can then

press the buttons on the touch-screen

just as you would press the buttons on

the device remote control.

Once you set up Take Control, you may

also use the power of your computer to

create new activities and edit existing

activities.

Take Control

Take Control Overview

Using the Controls

Take Control was created with you in

mind. Its form and size present an invit-

ing design, free of complexity. The physi-

cal interface includes natural controls,

enabling you to use different electronic

devices smoothly, without awkward

transitions.

Take a moment to examine your Take

Control and observe the following

features:

Note Before using the touchscreen, remove the

protective plastic film by gently grabbing one cor-

ner and slowly peeling it away from the

touchscreen.

Caution Pressing the touchscreen with a

sharp object, such as a pen or stylus (like

those used with electronic organizers), may

result in damage to the touchscreen that is

not covered by the warranty. Only use your

finger or a soft, dull instrument to press di-

rectly on the touchscreen.

Touchscreen—The display gives you di-

rect access to your activities, menu com-

mands (text entries in a menu), and

buttons.

lScrolling through text and long

menus. To scroll, simply roll the

selector wheel to reveal the touch-

screen content beyond the top or

bottom of the touchscreen.

Tip Look for a triangle in the top or bottom

right-hand corner of the touchscreen that indicates

scrollable text.

Tactile Buttons

—

Each Take Control but-

ton has a tactile, durable rubber surface.

These buttons are used by simply press-

ing the one you need.

lHome—Returns you to the Home

menu on the touchscreen or turns on

the display after it times out.

l+ (Volume up)—Increases the volume

of the current device.

l– (Volume down)—Decreases the

volume of the current device.

lBacklight—Lights or dims the

touchscreen.

lMute—Turns off or restores the

sound on the current device.

IR Receiver—The IR receiver on your

Take Control is used to “learn” the IR

code for a device. Learning the IR code

for a device requires the remote control

for that device.

You only need to learn the IR code for a

product if the TC1000 does not list the

device category or specific brand name

when you use the Setup Wizard.

You may select an activity or command

from a menu on the touchscreen by:

lPressing the name of the activity or

command on the touchscreen.

–or–

Rolling the selector wheel to highlight

the activity or command, and then

pressing the selector wheel.

Tips

lLightly press the touchscreen, roll or press the

selector wheel, press the Home menu button,

or press the backlight button to turn on the

display.

lPeriodic cleaning of the touchscreen can im-

prove visibility of the display.

You may select a button—such as —

from the touchscreen by pressing the

button you want. Pressing a button

either sends information to your device,

such as a channel selection, or takes you

to the next screen.

Tip When you press a button that sends infor-

mation to your device, an icon ( ) appears in the

title bar on the touchscreen, next to the time

display.

Note You cannot use the selector wheel to se-

lect a button on the touchscreen. You must press

the button.

Selector Wheel—Gives you an easy-to-

use means of:

lChanging channels on your TV, cable

box, VCR, satellite system, or tuner. To

change channels, just roll the selector

wheel and the channels change

automatically with each click, or

notch, of the selector wheel.

lSelecting menu commands (text

entries in a menu). To select a menu

command, roll the selector wheel to

highlight the command, and then

press the selector wheel.

Take Control

Computer-Connector Port

—

The com-

puter-connector port is used to establish

a serial connection between the TC1000

and a compatible computer. This connec-

tion enables your TC1000 to transfer data

to your computer, and vice versa. You can

use the computer-connector port by sim-

ply following the instructions in “Setting

Up Take Control with a Computer,”

page 14.

IR Transmitter—The infrared (IR) trans-

mitter sends an IR signal to your devices,

directing them to perform an action,

such as changing channels or volume lev-

el. When using your TC1000, you need

to point the IR Transmitter toward the

applicable device, and be within 23 feet

(7.0 m) for it to receive the IR signal.

Battery Compartment

—

The battery

compartment houses four AA alkaline

batteries. For more information on

installing and replacing the batteries, see

the instructions in “Installing the Batter-

ies,” page 6.

Reset Button

—

You can use the reset

button, located inside the battery com-

partment, to return the contrast, speaker,

and time to their predefined default set-

tings. Pressing the reset button will not

change or delete learned IR codes, activi-

ties, macros, or any customizing of but-

tons performed through the Take

Control Editor on your computer.

To use the reset button:

1Remove the cover to the battery

compartment.

2Using a paper clip, press the reset

button.

Using the Screens

Take Control has two different kinds of

screens to help you set up your system

controller and use your devices: menu

screens and button screens.

Using a Menu Screen

Menu screens include either menu com-

mands, text, or both. One example of a

menu screen is the Home menu.

You may select a menu command by:

lPressing the command on the

touchscreen.

–or–

Rolling the selector wheel to highlight

the command, and then pressing the

selector wheel.

Using a Button Screen

Button screens may include four columns

and up to five rows of buttons. These

electronic buttons provide navigation on

Take Control, or send an IR signal to a

device. Pressing a button on the touch-

screen performs the same function as

pressing a real button on a conventional

remote control.

You may select a button by pressing the

button on the touchscreen.

Note You must press buttons on the touch-

screen directly. The selector wheel does not work

with buttons that appear on the touchscreen.

Starting Take Control for the First Time

2Insert the batteries making sure that

you properly orient them for polarity,

pointing the positive (+) end towards

the “key,” and the negative (–) end

towards the spring.

3Close the battery compartment cover.

Note When replacing batteries, it is recommend-

ed that all four be replaced at the same time.To

avoid damage, it is recommended that the batteries

be removed if the TC1000 will not be used for more

than a month.

After installing the batteries, you should

see a “Welcome” display on the

touchscreen.

If you do not see a display:

lEnsure that you’ve installed fresh

batteries, correctly oriented in the

battery compartment.

Note See “Battery Safety Precautions,” page 28,

for additional information on proper handling and

disposal of batteries.

Overview

Starting Take Control for the first time

requires two steps:

1Installing the batteries.

2Completing the Setup Wizard.

Installing the Batteries

Installing the batteries provides power

and enables you to begin using Take

Control. You must install four AA-size

batteries for Take Control to work. We

recommend alkaline batteries, and

include four in the box. You may use

either disposable or rechargeable alkaline

batteries. Other types of batteries will

work, but won’t last as long.

To insert the batteries:

1Turn Take Control upside down (with

the touchscreen toward the floor),

and remove the door to the battery

compartment by pulling the tab locat-

ed on the top of the cover.
