Charging the iRemoteTS

The iremoteTS uses a lithium ion rechargeable battery and should 

always be placed in the charging base when not in use. A full 

charge will last approximately 24 –48 hours. When the battery 

is low, the touch screen will display: “Battery Low, Please Place 

in Charger.” When the iremoteTS is placed in the charging base, 

an LED illuminates white to indicate that it is properly placed in 

the  base  and  the  battery  is  charging.  After  the  iremoteTS  has 

been  fully  charged  the  charging  LED  on  the  base  will  go  out. 

If the LED doesn’t light up, the remote has not been placed into 

the  base  properly.  If  the  LED  illuminates  red,  there  is  a  fault  in 

the  battery  and  it  should  be  replaced.  Contact  Niles  Technical 

Support for information on battery replacement. 
The iremoteTS will go into a sleep mode when not in use. This 

helps to conserve the battery. Picking up the iremoteTS or pressing 

any hard button will wake up the iremoteTS. This sleep mode is 

configurable in the iremote System Settings menu.

When leaving the iRemoteTS unused for long period of time (such 

as when used in a vacation home) it is best to leave the iRemoteTS 

in its charging base and the charging base plugged in.

Selecting Theater or House Control

once  awake,  press  the  house  button  to  control  the  multiZone 

system, or the Theater button to control the home theater. When 

the Theater button is pressed, you can see up to 12 master Keys, 

each labeled for home theater sources or activities. The number 

of master Keys seen is dictated by the configuration programmed 

by IntelliFile 3.
When  the  house  button  is  pressed,  the  iremoteTS  shows  the 

status of the zone of the iremoteTS that was last left on. To select 

a different zone, press the Niles logo button. A list of available 

zones  will  be  shown.  Select  a  new  zone  by  pressing  the  zone 

name on the touch screen. If the newly selected zone is turned 

off, the IntelliControl ICS splash screen will be displayed with the 

labeled master Keys across the top. If the newly selected zone 

is already on, the currently selected source for that zone will be 

displayed.
