When the activity changes, the buttons will change and the controller will launch the different contents of each button accordingly.

Parts of the device

This remote has:

An ergonomic keypad with 6 backlighted buttons,
6 switch inputs for connecting external switches, an infrared port,
LED status indicator,
On/off switch
On/off backlight switch
Input for battery charging.

It is powered by a battery that can be recharged by connecting it directly to the USB port of a computer or to the mains using the charger supplied with the remote control.

Changing the covers of the buttons

It is possible to change the covers and the labels of the buttons. This allows choosing among different covers (transparent or colour ones) and change the icons to label the buttons if desired.

Remove the covers by introducing any thin object in the covers’ slot and pull towards the buttons outside.

Startup

CMake sure the battery of the Controller is charged
Turn on the Controller by turning the main switch to position “I”
If you want to activate the button’s LEDs, you have to put the LED switch (on the left side of the controller) to “I”

IMPORTANT: for the LEDs to work, the general switch of the control must be on.

How to use

Basic opration

Select any scene in the SHX program.
Press the button corresponding to the contents that you would like to launch.

The contents programmed in the SHX program can be launched by directly pressing the buttons of the remote or by means of external switches.

The remote uses radio frequency signals so there is no need to aim.

Use of the switch inputs:

If you want to use a special button to activate the remote, you can use the switch inputs on the back of the remote.

Connect the switch to the corresponding input and activate the switch. The effect is the same as if the control button were pressed.

Maintenance

For the maintenance and cleaning of the equipment, take the following precautions:

Do not connect the equipment to other types of connections than USB ports.
To connect and disconnect the cable always hold it by its connector. Do not stretch directly from the cable even when the cable outlet is bent or in a forced position.
For cleaning the device, use a cloth slightly dampened in water.
Do not use abrasive substances. Always clean with the device disconnected.
Do not allow liquids to enter the inside of the box for the switch inputs and they can seriously damage the equipment.
This equipment is not designed for outdoor use.
In case of failure do not manipulate the device.

Proper care and use of the device

Keep the device dry. Moisture and liquids may damage the parts or electronic circuits of the device. Water damage to your device may void the warranty.
Do not use or store the device in dusty or dirty areas. Dust may cause the device to malfunction.
Do not leave the device on a sloping surface if it is not properly secured. Do not drop the product or subject it to impacts. It may be damaged if dropped.
Do not store the device in hot or cold areas. Use it at temperatures between 0°C and 50°C. The device could explode if left inside a closed vehicle as the internal temperature could reach 80°C.
Do not expose the device to direct sunlight for long periods (e.g. on the dashboard of a car).
Avoid letting the device come into contact with metal products that could scratch the surface. Avoid storing the device in your pockets as it could be damaged if it is bent or deformed, or parts may stop functioning correctly.
Do not store the device near magnetic fields.
Do not store the device in or near heaters, microwaves, hot cooking equipment or high-pressure containers, because the battery may leak and the device could overheat and cause a fire.

Battery charge and care

The battery needs charging when the LED on the remote flashes red.

IMPORTANT: Before charging the battery check that the on/off switch is ON (position 1)

To charge the remote, follow these steps:

Connect the charger cable to any computer USB port or to the charger supplied with the product.
During charging, the LED will turn red. The LED will turn green when the battery is charged.
When the charging cable is disconnected, the LED switches itself off and the remote returns to standby mode, ready for use.

IMPORTANT: Switch off the remote if it is not in used. This will extend the battery life.

The battery installed in the remote is a single lithium ion polymer cell.
It is VERY IMPORTANT NOT to let the battery fully discharge. It should be recharged immediately when the battery LED indicates that the battery is discharged. Allowing the battery to fully discharge could cause irreversible damage to it.
Ion polymer batteries cannot withstand temperature excesses. For this reason:
Do not leave the remote near heat sources such as radiators, electric blankets, heaters, etc.
Never leave the remote inside vehicles.

If it overheats, the battery could catch fire.

Only charge the battery with the charger supplied with the product or through a USB port. The charging process must be witnessed in order to detect any charging abnormalities.
Use the battery and charger for their intended purposes only. Improper use or use of unapproved batteries or chargers may present a risk of fire, explosion, or other hazard, and may invalidate any approval or warranty.
The battery can be charged and discharged countless times but it will eventually wear out. You will need to replace the battery when the battery life is noticeably shorter than normal. To do this, contact BJ Adaptaciones to replace it.
The full charging time of the battery can vary between 3 and 4 hours.
Lithium-ion polymer batteries can be charged before they are fully discharged because they are not susceptible to the memory effect. We do not recommend charging the battery before it has lost 5% of its charge. This will cut down on unnecessary charging that can be harmful due to the increase in temperature. Charging and discharging quickly and often will increase the inaccuracy between the battery charge status and power meter readings.
Leaving the battery at a high level of charge in a high-temperature environment for extended periods (> 60°C) also accelerates the loss of capacity.
Frequent full charges and discharges put stress on the battery and drastically reduce its lifespan.
Try to keep it between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Extreme temperatures reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. A device with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily.
When the battery is fully charged, disconnect it from the charger, as overcharging may shorten the battery’s lifetime.
This equipment is not designed to run on an external power supply.
The correct way to disconnect the device from an external power supply is, firstly, to unplug the cable from the socket transmitting the electricity to the power supply/equipment charger. You may then remove the connector socket directing the voltage to the actual equipment.
You should do this the other way round when connecting to the power supply.
When you unplug a charger or an accessory, hold and pull the plug, not the cord.
When your charger is not in use, unplug it from the electrical plug and the device.
Do not use the charger outdoors.
If you consider the battery or charger are damaged, contact BJLive! to have it inspected before continuing to use it. Never use a damaged charger or battery
