DESCRIPTION The Commando Control RF wireless remote provides a seamless link to your video device while freeing you to move about freely. There is no need to point the remote toward the device you want to control or worry about players getting in the way. Unlike infrared remotes the digitally controlled RF technology employed by the Control RF remote is not affected by such obstacles. The deck or computer you wish to control can even be in a different room. There is no need to obtain a license or other authorization to use your Control RF remote as the frequencies utilized do not require such action. The Commando Control RF professional wireless system consists of two major parts, the Base Station and the Wireless Remote. The base station is connected to the device you want to control and the wireless remote is used by the coach or player to control the video in exactly the same manner as a hardwired remote. The base station and the remote communicate with each other via a RF wireless link. The major facets of the base station are identified on the following page. 800-749-2761 3 www.coachcomm.com AC Power Indicator Charge Status Indicator RX LED Indicator TX LED Indicator Antenna Connector Charge/ Program Cable Unit ID Switch Frequency Switch AC Power Connector Control Cable Program Button RF Remote Base Station Front Panel: RF Remote Base Station Back Panel: INSTALLATION Installation of your new Commando Control RF remote is fast and easy. After unpacking your Control RF remote locate the base station near the device you wish to control. Find the small base station antenna and screw it onto the antenna connector on the back of the base. The antenna should be hand tight. Do not over tighten. Orient the antenna so that it points straight up. Plug the base station power supply into the AC Power connector on the back of the base station. Locate a standard AC power source (wall outlet) and plug the power supply into the outlet. The Power LED on the front of the base station should light green. Plug the Control cable (15ft in length) into the device you want to operate. Be careful to align the pins properly. Do not use excessive force when inserting as the connector may become damaged. Your Control RF remote is designed to connect to a specific type of device and has an appropriate connector for that device on the end of the Control Cable. The following is a list of available connection types. Your Control RF base will have one of these. • CoachComm and Panasonic VCRs – mini 5-Pin or 6-Pin Din • RS-232 Serial Computer interface – DB-9 connector • USB Computer interface – USB type connector • RS-422 Serial Device interface – DB-9 connector • Control-S Sony interface – 1/8 th inch stereo That completes installation of your new Control RF remote. Please move on to the OPERATION section of this manual for important tips on battery charging and system programming. 800-749-2761 4 www.coachcomm.com OPERATION General Remote Operation Your new Commando Control RF remote operates in essentially the same manner as your current hardwired remote. All of the buttons and features work the same way as your current CoachComm Commando hardwired remote so you can start using your Control RF remote without learning new skills. Before getting started, read through the rest of this section for tips on battery charging and system programming. Battery Charging One important distinction with your new wireless remote is that it runs on LiIon rechargeable batteries. It is possible to use your Control RF wireless remote in a hardwired backup mode regardless of battery condition. That means even if your remote batteries are completely dead, you can plug the remote into the 15 foot Charge / Program cable on the back of the base station and the remote will function normally just like a hardwired remote. Prior to your first wireless use of your Control RF Remote you will need fully charge the internal LiIon battery. To do this, plug the wireless remote into the base station via the Charge / Program cable. The Charge Status indicator LED on the front of the base will light red to indicate that the batteries are charging. If the Charge Status LED does not light, or lights amber contact CoachComm service immediately. Let the batteries charge until the Charge Status indicator LED on the front of the base turns green to indicate that the battery has a full charge. This will take about 4 hours for your first charge and approximately 3 to 3.5 hours after that. You can use the remote while it is charging as outlined above. Using the remote while it is charging wil…

CoachComm RF Data Transceiver Block Diagram The CoachComm Data Transceiver is a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver that provides the wireless interface between a Base Station and Remote. A simplified block diagram of the transceiver is presented below for reference. The transceiver is based upon the Texas Instruments TRF6900A transceiver and is indicated with dashed lines in the above diagram. Mixer LNA Tx Data Mode Stby DDS & power control PLL Clock Data Strobe Serial Interface Lock Detect Buffer and Power amplifers VCO IF and Limiter Amps Data comparator FSK demod Data filter & amp Rx Data RSSI Amp Out IF Filter Filters Combining & matching circuitry The frequency band of operation is 903 – 911 MHz, which consists of 10 channels that are 0.5 to 1.5 MHz apart. Non-uniform channel spacing is for reduced DDS related spurs. The transceiver data rate is 19.2 kbps and the VCO is modulated using Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) with a peak frequency deviation of 100 kHz. The RF transceiver consists of a direct conversion transmitter and a single conversion receiver with a 10.7 MHz Intermediate Frequency (IF). The TRF6900A Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) output frequency is controlled with an internal Phase Locked Loop (PLL). At the RF output, an external band pass filter is used reject signals outside the 903 - 911 MHz frequency band. An additional low pass filter is used to suppress the harmonics of the transmitter. A 3.3V regulator provides DC power to the transceiver. Finally, external passive components required by the TRF6900A are not shown in the above diagram for clarity. The exact same RF transceiver board is used in both the Base Station and the Remote. A separate Controller board controls the transceiver.

Response to TCB Findings Q: On Page 15 of the test report in the radiated emissions data table we can see that "average" detector has been used for frequencies above 1GHz. Besides this, same measurements need to be repeated with peak detector with 1MHz RBW and compared to 74dBuV/m according to 15.35(b). Please submit "peak" detector results for frequencies above 1GHz as well. Response: Supplied. Please see the note explanation under the table on page 15. Q: 2. The operating instructions include an RF exposure statement which is not applicable for 15.249 devices. Please remove that statement from the manual. Response: New operating instructions supplied with the correction.
