UNICO

Radio Remote Control

GUIDE TO THE REMOTE CONTROL

The 

Unico Radio Remote Control

 commands the internal sequencer of  the Unico organs,

to easily play MIDI tracks from distance.
The remote control has a maximum range of  50 metres, when batteries are fully charged. It
only works with four alkaline batteries AA type, 1.5 V. Batteries are included; when they are
exhausted (the display will blink when this occurs), open the lid on the back of  the remote
control and replace the batteries.
In order to reduce energy consumption, the remote control has three different operating
modes:
-

Working, display backlight on:

 this mode will be active as soon as a button is pressed.

-

Working, display backlight off:

 when inactive for more than three seconds, the backlight

will turn off.

-

Stand-by:

 when inactive for more than 10 seconds.

WARNING:

-

You cannot activate the sequencer via remote control while there is a pop-up message
on the organ display, while the sequencer is recording, or when using the Songlist
function on the File Management menu. In this case, the remote control display
will show a message informing that the sequencer is not available:

SEQUENCER

NOT AVAILABLE

-

When the display shows the following message:

ORGAN

NOT CONNECTED

it means  the remote control cannot establish a connection with the organ. Check
that the instrument is not switched off, and that both remote and organ are in the
operating range, that is 50 metres when the batteries are completely full. Should
the batteries of the remote control have only half of their original energy, the
maximum range will be approximately 20 metres. Should this inconvenient happen
frequently, check that the area is not subject to electromagnetic or radio
interferences. Please not that while connecting to the organ, the buttons of the
controller are disabled.
