lation. It involves an intimate knowledge of how the components interact

and exact details on the proper sequences of control.

KP-900 OWNERS MANUAL

Congratulations!

You’ve purchased a unique wireless control. The KP-900 can be used as both

a wall mounted keypad and as a hand-held remote control. The KP-900

achieves a magnificent combination of power and flexibility, simplifying and

automating operation of even the most complex home theater system.

Wall Mounted Keypad and Hand-Held Remote Control

Once the wall bracket is securely installed on the wall, simply place the

KP-900 into the bracket. Magnets snap the KP-900 into place. To use as a

hand-held remote control, grasp the KP-900 from the top edge and pull it

away from the bracket.

One Touch Multi-Colored Backlighting

Press any button to backlight the screen and the hard buttons.

Integrated Sound Signaling

The KP-900 incorporates a small speaker for beeps. Anytime you press a

button, the KP-900 signals that it has understood your command with a

beep sound.

Custom Labeled Buttons

The KP-900 is equipped with a bright, easy to read LCD screen which

labels the six buttons to the right of the screen. These button labels

change based on what you are watching or listening to. Thus, if you have

selected Watching TV, you will see a list of buttons that are useful to that

activity, while if you select DVD, the buttons will control the DVD.

Pressing the MAIN button displays

the Main Menu pages of the KP-900.

When you select one of the activi-

ties listed, the entire functionality of

all the buttons changes to operate

the selected device.

KP-900 OWNERS MANUAL

Optional RF “No Rules” Operation

In combination with a Complete Control RF Base Station, the KP-900 can

control your system without being in line-of-sight of the equipment. On the

wall or off, that means that you never need to point the KP-900.

The MSC-400, the MRF-350 or the MRF-260 RF base station are compatible

with the KP-900. All incorporate RF addressing. RF Addressing gives you the

ability to control equipment locations throughout your home, even if they are

concealed in other rooms or are behind closed doors.

4. Self-adhesive “Flashers” affix to the

Infrared sensors on the front panels of your

components. The Flashers relay commands

to components. The flashers plug in to the

base station’s rear flasher line outputs via

their 10 foot cables. Uniquely, URC base

stations can also connect to rear panel IR

Inputs via their adjustable IR Line Outputs.

3.The base station routes IR commands to the correct IR

Flasher.

1.The KP-900 sends radio waves

in every direction, so you don’t

have to point the remote any-

more!

2.The RFX-250 RF Sensor can be freely

positioned for optimal reception.

KP-900 OWNERS MANUAL

Securing the Wall Bracket

The KP-900 includes a wall bracket, four screws and four plastic caps to

conceal the screwheads. Consult with a professional installer before

attempting to secure the bracket to your wall. The included screws may

not be appropriate for your walls.

Before making a hole in your wall, gather the family and evaluate the best

height. Like a thermostat, the KP-900 should be at comfortable eye level

for most of the family, typically between 54” to 62” from the floor to the

top of the bracket (60” is typical).

Use a bubble level and a pencil to draw a line on the wall, then hold the

bracket in place. Screw in the four screws and cover the screw heads with

the included self adhesive caps.

Magnets in the bracket and the keypad keep the KP-900 securely in place,

yet make it easy to remove when you need a hand-held remote control.

Installing Batteries

There are two battery compartments on the rear of the KP-900. Each com-

partment holds two AAA batteries for a total of four AAA batteries.

Open each battery cover by pressing the release and pulling back the

cover on the back of the control. Remove the cover.

Observe the + and - polarity indicators on the batteries.

Place a battery into the compartment with the positive (+) terminal facing

the bottom of the KP-900. Slide the battery up into the top position and

insert the second battery into place.

Now, replace the battery cover by inserting the hinged end in first, then

snapping the cover back into place.

Repeat the process with the second battery compartment.

KP-900 OWNERS MANUAL

Programming the KP-900

The KP-900 is programmed via a Windows PC equipped with a USB port

(programming cable included), using our proprietary software, KP-900

Editor. You can download this software from our website:

www.universalremote.com

Basic setup takes only a few minutes with this software. However, to fully

automate an audio/video system the user must have a detailed knowledge

of each component, you the user (and your preferences), and how the sys-

tem is connected and operated. We highly recommend that you use a

professional audio/video installer to program your KP-900 so you will be

able to enjoy all the benefits of the KP-900 as well as one touch operation

via macros.

KP-900 OWNERS MANUAL

Selecting a New “Activity”

The KP-900’s MAIN button displays the activities you can control with

your KP-900. When you want to listen to the radio or to a CD, touch the

MAIN button and select what you would like to listen to.

Your installer will have programmed the button you pressed to totally con-

figure your system to watch or listen to whatever you selected. Now, the

screen will change, and all of the LCD buttons will be reconfigured to

give you full control of your system while watching or listening to your

selection!

Press the PAGE button to see any other available choices.

When you press the MAIN button,

you can see the most frequently used

activities in your system.

PAGE DISPLAY

At the bottom of the LCD screen, the

page display informs you if there are

other pages of buttons available.

Optionally, your installer may have

programmed two groups of activities

(i.e Watch and Listen). To access

either group, simply touch the

MAIN button again. The MAIN but-

ton cycles the display from Watch to

Listen, then back to Watch.

The LCD button

labels describe

special features

for this activity.

KP-900 OWNERS MANUAL

Using the KP-900 to Control an “Activity”

Once you’ve selected a new activity, the KP-900 displays the title of the

activity at the top of the screen. Below the title, the LCD displays the cus-

tomized names of any special features you need for the activity. All the

hard buttons of the KP-900 have now changed to functions optimized for

this activity.

The Title displays

what activity you

can control.

Each activity can

have many pages of

LCD labeled but-

tons. At the bottom

of the LCD the

page number is dis-

played.

All of the KP-900’s hard buttons change their function and now control the select-

ed activity.

Press the PAGE but-

ton to use the other

pages of LCD

labeled buttons.

holding both the MAIN and the SELECT buttons at the same time for three

will time out and automatically return to normal operation. You can return to

normal operation before that by pressing the MAIN button.

Selecting from the Setup Screen

Simply touch the button for the setting you’d like to adjust:

At the same time, press and

hold both the MAIN button
