You may see some variance in the 
responsiveness and accuracy of the touch-
screen when using it in cold or hot
environments. For example, when pressing
the touchscreen you might: 

●

Not see a response

●

Need to press a menu command or
button hard to make it work

●

Touch an area beside a button – not
directly on it – to make it work.

If you can’t lightly touch a menu com-
mand or button to make it work, then cali-
brating the touchscreen may help.

To calibrate the touchscreen:

1 On the Home menu, select TC1000

Settings.

2 Select Calibrate touchscreen, and

then press the button in each corner of
the touchscreen.

You can adjust the contrast of the touch-
screen to view the display more easily. 

To adjust the touchscreen contrast:

1 On the Home menu, select TC1000

Settings.

2 Select Set display contrast, and then

follow the on-screen instructions.

●

To quickly adjust the contrast at any time,
press and hold down the backlight button as
you roll the selector wheel.

●

Turn on the backlight and check the contrast of
your display to ensure that the setting works in
a darkened room.

The time display provides you with a quick
reference to the time of day.

To set the time:

1 On the Home menu, select TC1000

Settings.

2 Select Set time, and then follow the

on-screen instructions.

Tip When you connect Take Control to your com-
puter, the time on Take Control is automatically set
to the time on your computer.

When you select a command from a menu
by pressing the touchscreen or 
selector wheel, or when you press a but-
ton on the touchscreen, an audible
“beep” confirms your entry. If you prefer,
you can turn off the speaker.

To turn off the speaker:

1 On the Home menu, select TC1000

Settings.

2 Select Turn speaker on/off, and then

follow the on-screen instructions.

The touchscreen display time-out feature
turns off the display and the backlight af-
ter a period of inactivity. Turning off the
display and backlight eliminates distrac-
tions from the display in a darkened room
and extends battery life.

To adjust the display time-out:
1 On the Home menu, select TC1000

Settings.

2 Select Set display time-out, and then

follow the on-screen instructions.

The Take Control software employs the
power of your computer to help you 
define and configure settings on your sys-
tem controller – beyond the capabilities of
the TC1000 system controller alone.

You can customize individual preferences
for each activity and redefine the way in
which buttons work.

To set up the Take Control software:

1 Start the Take Control software.

2 Connect the TC1000 to your 

computer.

You can start the Take Control software in
seconds. Take a moment to review the
minimum computer system requirements,
described within “Technical Specifica-
tions,” page 34, and ensure that your
computer system is compatible with the
software.

Note Starting the Take Control software auto-
matically installs a minimum set of files onto your
hard disk. To remove them, see “Removing the
TC1000 Files Copied onto Your Hard Disk.”

Starting the software requires use of the
TC1000 compact disc.

To start the TC1000 software:

1 Insert the TC1000 compact disc into

your CD-ROM drive.

2 Answer the questions in the wizard that

appears on your screen. If the on-screen
wizard does not start automatically,
click the Start button, click Run, and
then type <drive>:\TC1000.exe. For
example, if the compact disc is in drive
E, type E:\TC1000.exe.

You may choose at some point to remove
the TC1000 files from your hard disk.

To remove the TC1000 files:

1 Click the Start button, click Settings,

and then click Control Panel.

2 Double-click Add/Remove Programs,

select TC1000, and then click 
Add/Remove.
