The STC-1 is a 

PROGRAMMABLE TOUCHSCREEN

REMOTE

that is designed to provide infrared control of

audio/video and automation systems. Like other
“universal” or “learning” remote controls, the STC-1
allows you to consolidate the functions of many
independent infrared remote controls into one unit.
However, the STC-1 also incorporates a unique
programmable user interface, allowing it to provide a
simple, intuitive, and customized interface for any
system. Before using the STC-1, please read and follow
all instructions in this manual.

1.1 Features

The STC-1 provides superior quality and reliability as
well as these specific features:

A replacement for all of your system’s remote controls.
The STC-1 can reproduce all of the commands of
almost any other infrared remote control.

A programmable graphic display. The STC-1 has a
built-in drawing program that makes it easy to place
buttons, text, and symbols anywhere on the display.

A touch-sensitive display. When you want to perform
a command, simply touch the display where that
command is displayed.

A built-in rechargeable battery pack. The STC-1 can
run continuously for up to three hours between
charges. Because the remote is normally used only a
few minutes per session, the unit typically will run for
a week or more between charges. A built-in Fuel
Meter monitors the battery level to let you know how
much run time is remaining.

• 

A macro function. This feature allows the STC-1 to
perform a series of commands by pressing a single
button. For example, you could create a macro called

“MOVIE” 

that turns on the TV, sets the correct

channel, turns on the VCR, dims the lights, and starts
playing a movie.

Automatic power-down. The STC-1 turns itself off
whenever it is not used for a pre-set amount of time.
Touching any area of the display will turn it on again.

• 

A serial port for communication with a special PC
interface program for backup and restore of previously
programmed displays and IR commands.

• 

Non-volatile memory. The STC-1 will not lose any
programmed data if the main batteries fail.

INTRODUCTION

1.2 Important Notes

Please read these important notes about the STC-1:

The STC-1 should be placed in an area where it is

around normal room temperature (between 60˚F to
90˚F). If the temperature is too hot, the display 
appears dim. If the temperature is too cold, the 
display appears dark and may respond slowly.

• 

Do not use sharp objects on the touchscreen. It is

designed to operate with a firm touch of your finger.

• 

Do not let the STC-1 get wet. It should not be handled

with wet hands or placed in an area where it could 
get wet.

• 

Do not subject the STC-1 to smoke, dust, or

vibrations. The display may be damaged from
excessive shock or vibration.

• 

Use only the power supply that is provided with the

STC-1. Using the wrong type of power supply may
result in battery leakage or other damage.

• 

Do not disassemble the unit. The STC-1 contains high

voltage circuits that may cause injury if contacted.

1.3 Getting Started

The STC-1 is powered-up by touching any area of the
display. If the STC-1 does not respond, make sure the
switch on the bottom of the unit is in the 

ON

position 

as indicated by the arrow.
