2.3 Customer-specific settings 

Customer-specific settings mean the properties of the transmitter that can be programmed specifically 
for an individual user. These are the number of pages, the number of commands on the pages, the order 
of pages, the selection time, and other parameters that can be adjusted during the 
programming phase. 
 

2.4 Operation modes 

The  device  has  four  different  operation  modes:  1)  The  control  mode,  2)  The  sleep  mode  3)  The 
programming mode and 4) The setting mode 
 

1. Control mode 

The  device  controls  the  equipment  located  in  the  environment  using  infrared  (IR)  signals. 
The control mode is indicated by the led displaying the page number (at the upper corner of 
the  buttons  0–9).  Pushing  a  button  results  in  a  led  and  buzzer  sign,  unless  the  sound  is 
switched off. 

 
2. Sleep mode 

The standby mode is a mode, in which the device is ‘asleep’, i.e. none of the leds is on. The 
device  returns  into  the  standby  mode  after  the  set  selection  time  has  elapsed  from  the  last 
activation of any of the buttons. In the standby mode the device does not consume energy at 
all. The device is reactivated from the standby mode by pushing the buttons 0–9. 

 
3. Programming mode 

Programming  is  possible  only  when  Apollo-15  is  ‘awake’  and  set  into  the  programming 
mode. If the device is in a normal operation mode Apollo-15 ‘falls asleep’ always within a 
certain number of seconds (selection time) after a button has been pushed, and it wakes up 
again, when any of the buttons 0–9 is pushed. The programming mode is accessed, when 
all the keys of the bottom line are pushed simultaneously (C + D + E). If the device is set in 
the programming mode the transmitter’s Prog-led switches on. (

see Figure 1.1

). 

 

4. Setting mode 

The setting mode can be accessed only when Apollo-15 is ‘awake’, i.e any of the leds is on. 
To  get  into  the  setting  mode  push  the  buttons  A  and  B,  in  which  case  the  Prog-led  of  the 
Apollo-15 starts to blink (

see Figure1.1

). 

 

2.5 Selection time 

The selection time set for the Apollo-15 transmitter defines the interval between selecting a page, and 
switching  off  the  led  (if  no  buttons  are  pushed).  In  other  words,  selection  time  is  the  interval  from 
pushing a button till the standby mode. Adjusting the selection time is necessary to prevent the device 
from  being  too  fast  for  slow  users,  and  –  on  the  other  hand  –  too  slow  for  fast  users.  Thus  the 
possibility of adjusting the selection time improves the ease of using the device. The selection time 
can be set within the interval of 3 to 40 seconds. The factory set selection time is 7 seconds.
