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.

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:

l

Pressing the command on the
touchscreen.
–or–
Rolling the selector wheel to highlight
the command, and then pressing the
selector wheel.

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.

You must press buttons on the touch-

screen directly. The selector wheel does not work
with buttons that appear on the touchscreen.

2 Insert 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.

3 Close the battery compartment cover.

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:

l

Ensure that you’ve installed fresh
batteries, correctly oriented in the
battery compartment.

See “Battery Safety Precautions,” page 28,

for additional information on proper handling and
disposal of batteries.

Starting Take Control for the first time
requires two steps:
1

Installing the batteries.

Completing the Setup Wizard.

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:
1 Turn 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.

The Setup Wizard takes you step-by-
step through the process of adding elec-
tronic devices to Take Control, and
defines the specific IR code for each
device. These unique IR codes ensure
that Take Control communicates properly
with each specific product.

After you install the batteries, Take Con-
trol displays a Welcome menu on the
touchscreen. Using this menu, you can
add your devices with the help of the
Setup Wizard.
1 On the Welcome Menu, press Next

to begin. This will start the Setup
Wizard.

2 Follow the instructions on the Setup

Wizard screen.

You can also use Take Control to set up
an electronic device with:

l

A lost or broken remote control. Take
Control includes an extensive list of IR
codes for many popular electronic
devices, which you can access and
assign using the Setup Wizard.

l

Most IR-controlled products that are
not listed in the Setup Wizard. When
setting up an electronic device that is
not listed in the Setup Wizard, select
unlisted brand and Take Control can
learn the IR code for your electronic
device. To learn the IR code, you need
the remote control for your device and
the TC1000, either alone or with the
software on your computer.

Despite efforts to make Take Control work

with all devices, some IR-controlled products can-
not work with Take Control, due to incompatible
frequencies.
