- Table of contents FCC Statements 1: Quick start 2: Avoiding problems 3: Basic features in detail 4: X-10 5: Macros 6: Timers 7: Support contact FCC Statements This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: -Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. -Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. -Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. -Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help. - Chapter 1:Quick start What is it? OmniRemote is an IR learning remote control. It uses infrared light to communicate with TV's, VCR's and many other devices (nearly any device that uses IR). OmniRemote Plus can also control RF X-10 using a built in radio transmitter. "Out of the box" this software won't control anything. Because it's a learning remote control it requires a training period before it can be used. What this method loses in convenience it gains in flexibility. Once the buttons have been created (you can use OmniRemote's existing buttons or you can create new ones all your own) you can train them using Menu|Modes|Training (menus pop up either by clicking the Menu silk button or by tapping the bar at the top of the screen). While in training mode, align your remote (explained in detail in chapter 2), double click the button you want to train, then press the equivalent button on your remote control. For buttons that can be held down during use (for example volume buttons or some fast-forward and rewind buttons) hold the button until the Learn IR screen disappears rather than quickly pressing and releasing the button. Continue doing this until every button has been trained, then choose Menu|Modes|Normal. You can tell which buttons need to be trained because untrained normal buttons are displayed with a "dotty" grey border. After that you're ready to go! - Chapter 2:Avoiding problems If you have poor range, or if buttons work intermittently or not at all try the following steps:  Try re-training the button you are having trouble with. Use: Menu|Buttons|Edit|choose button|Retrain or use the training mode. It is unlikely that you will train every button perfectly the first time. Some buttons will probably require re-training.  Try a different IR carrier frequency. This setting is in Menu|Options|Training Settings it is used during training. Once the optimum setting is determined, it should be used for all buttons on that remote. To determine the optimum setting, perform the following steps: Press the Auto detect button. Hold your remote up to the IR sensor on your Palm or your OmniRemote Module. Hold down or repeatedly press one of your remote's buttons. On the screen the word Testing should be followed by changing numbers as it scans for the correct frequency. Very slowly pull your remote away from the Visor until slow beeping begins. Hold remote still and continue holding or pressing button while beeps continue. Test will complete in a few seconds. Auto detect will only try scanning the lower five built-in frequencies and the one typed on the blank (under the Auto detect button). 39.2 is the most commonly used frequency.  Try fast sampling mode. This setting is also in Menu|Options|Training Settings. For some devices it can yield much better reliability, but its shorter sample length won't work with all devices. Also buttons trained with this setting only work with the Springboard Module installed. (so you can't share with your friends without Visors)  When training try holding the button on your remote a little longer rather than just a "tap".  Training must be performed with the remote aimed at the IR receiver on the left side of the Visor near the top.  When training, try positioning the Visor and remote a different distance apart. Generally closer is better, but on some remotes the LED is not in the middle, if it's near the side and you make the Visor's receiver touch the middle of the remote, you might miss it entirely, in which case a half inch apart might be better. Make sure the remote's LED and the Visor's receiver are at the same height and sitting on a stable surface (rather than in your hand). The beeps in training mode are helpful as a guide, but aren't a guarantee that you have them aligned perfectly.  When testing, hold the Visor near the device you are trying to control, but not within six inches. Keep the Visor aimed at the device's receiver and don't sit at an angle to the front of the device. Glass doors or other obstacles between the Palm and the device can cause poor range.  If using timers, make sure OmniRemote is running when the timer goes off, or if the Visor is off that OmniRemote was the program running when it was turned off. - Chapter 3:Basic features in detail This chapter assumes that you hav…

Page 1 of 2. Pacific Neo-Tek Making the impossible possible The OmniRemote Plus Springboard Module was designed and manufactured by: Pacific Neo-Tek, Inc. 2-1500 E Cliff Dr. #B Santa Cruz, CA 95062 The OmniRemote Plus Springboard Module contains a 310MHz RF transmitter which is designed to send data to standard “off the shelf” X-10 compatible RF receivers (produced by various other manufacturers). The purpose of this is to allow the user to control lights and appliances (through an X-10 home control system) from their Handspring Visor handheld organizer. A Springboard Module is an expansion card which slides into a Handspring Visor handheld organizer giving it additional software and capabilities (in this case including the RF transmitter). The transmitter is a simple 310MHz sine wave oscillator (L-C oscillator) which is turned on and off under the control of software running on the Visor Handheld producing a pulsed CW signal. The timing of these pulses of 310MHz RF describe the binary data which is being sent to the X-10 receiver. The L-C oscillator can be turned on and off under software control because its source of power is one of the logic outputs of one of the I/O chips in the module. A logic 1 being output from this general purpose I/O pin will supply 3.2 volts which is enough to power the oscillator. The transmitter circuit uses very little current, so no amplification is needed. The antenna is internal and consists of a track on the PCB which forms an elongated loop. www.pacificneotek.c om Page 2 of 2.
