The  microGain  Matrix  allows  you  to  customize  the  sensitivity  of  your  microRemote  to  better  
accommodate  your  personal  touch.  The  Motor’s  torque  power  is  inversely  related  to  the  smoothness  of  
its  revolutions.  Use  the  UP  and  DOWN  arrows  on  the  Basestation  (page  10)  to  find  a  setting  that  works  
best  for  you.  

Example:  If  you  have  set  the  Basestation  at  a  high  torque  setting,  the  control  knob  will  be  very  sensitive  
and  may  result  in  more  jerky  movement.  Inversely,  if  you  have  the  Basestation  set  very  low  for  
maximum  smoothness,  the  motion  of  the  control  knob  may  not  be  as  responsive  to  subtle  hand  
movements.

Illuminated  Marking  Disk

Before  adjusting  the  gain,  perform  a  lens  calibration  taking  care  not  to  apply  too  much  pressure  to  the  
lens  gear  from  the  motor.  The  Basestation  comes  set  from  the  factory  at  the  optimized  setting  5.  To  
adjust  the  gain,  tap  either  the  UP  (C)  or  DOWN  (F)  (see  diagram  on  page  10).  After  each  tap  the  red  
LEDs  will  indicate  the  current  setting  by  blinking  in  succession.  Example:  If  you  are  at  setting  3,  the  
LEDs  will  blink  three  times.  Allow  for  the  succession  of  flashes  to  complete  before  tapping  either  up  or  
down  again.  Controller  will  be  unresponsive  during  the  blinks.

Remove  the  marking  disk  (A)  from  
the  Handheld  by  simply  pulling  it  
straight  off.  Snap  an  illuminating  
flare  (B)  to  initiate  glow,  and  flex  
until  it  glows  evenly  throughout.  
Bend  flare  into  a  circle  and  push  it  
into  place  in  the  inside  ring  of  the  
marking  disk.  When  putting  the  
illuminated  marking  disk  back  into  
place  on  the  Handheld,  

make  

sure  that  the  guide  hole  (C)  
lines  up  with  the  guide  pin  (D).

As  with  any  remote  control  device,  you  may  find  your  
microRemote  picking  up  radio  interference  and  may  
have  to  switch  to  another  channel.  When  changing  the  
radio  channel  selector  dial,  

make  sure  to  set  the  

Basestation  and  Handheld  units  to  the  same  
channel.  

Use  a  flat-­head  screwdriver  to  turn  the  dial  to  

desired  channel.  Cycle  power  (Bastestation  and  
Handheld)  after  channel  change.

If  you  already  know  the  RF  Channel  you  want  to  use,  
consult  the  chart  at  the  right  to  see  how  the  
microRemote  corresponds  with  RF  Channels.
