4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Air Mouse Function

The BPR1S Plus features a 6-axis gyroscope for precise air mouse control. Press the "Mouse" button to activate or deactivate the air mouse mode. When active, move the remote in the air to control the cursor on your screen. This is particularly useful for navigating interfaces not optimized for traditional remote control.

4.2 Voice Input

Press the "MIC" or "Voice" button to activate the voice input function. Speak clearly into the remote's microphone. The voice function's compatibility varies:

• Bluetooth Mode: Voice function is applicable to some ATV devices (e.g., TCL Smart TV, Shield TV Box, HAKO mini, Google TV). It may not be compatible with all AOSP devices.
• 2.4G Mode: Voice function supports both AOSP Android and ATV devices.

Note: The voice search function typically works for built-in voice input search boxes or specific applications, and generally cannot search across all applications.

4.3 IR Learning (Infrared Learning)

The BPR1S Plus allows all its buttons to learn infrared signals from other remotes, enabling it to control IR-compatible devices. This is particularly useful for consolidating multiple remotes into one.

1. Place the BPR1S Plus remote and the original IR remote head-to-head, approximately 1-3 cm apart.
2. Press and hold the button on the BPR1S Plus remote that you wish to program (e.g., Power button) until its indicator light starts flashing slowly.
3. While holding the BPR1S Plus button, press the corresponding button on the original IR remote that you want to learn. The indicator light on the BPR1S Plus remote will flash rapidly, then turn solid, indicating successful learning.
4. Release both buttons.
5. Repeat for any other buttons you wish to program.
6. To exit IR learning mode, press any unprogrammed button or wait for the remote to time out.

After successful IR learning, the programmed buttons will send IR signals. If no IR learning is performed for a button, it will function in 2.4G or BT mode accordingly. If the power button has completed IR learning, it will prioritize sending the IR signal in 2.4G or BT mode.

The BOXPUT BPR1S Plus air mouse remote control is designed to be compatible with almost all Android devices, including:

• Android TV Boxes
• Android TV Sticks
• Other Android-based entertainment equipment

If you are uncertain about compatibility with your specific media player, it is recommended to consult the device's manufacturer or the product support for the BPR1S Plus.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your BPR1S Plus remote.

6.1 Remote Not Responding

• Check Batteries: Ensure fresh AAA batteries are correctly installed.
• Re-pair: Try re-pairing the remote with your device (refer to Section 3.2 for 2.4G or 3.3 for Bluetooth).
• USB Receiver: If using 2.4G, ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged into the device and not obstructed. Try a different USB port.
• Distance: Ensure the remote is within the effective operating range (up to 10 meters).
• Obstructions: Remove any physical obstructions between the remote and the device/receiver.

6.2 Air Mouse Cursor Drifting or Inaccurate

• Recalibrate Gyroscope: While the remote is connected, place it on a flat, stable surface for a few seconds. This often helps recalibrate the gyroscope.
• Interference: Move away from strong electromagnetic interference sources.

6.3 Voice Function Not Working

• Mode Check: Verify if you are in 2.4G or Bluetooth mode. Voice compatibility differs (see Section 4.2).
• App Compatibility: Ensure the application you are using supports voice input from external devices.
• Microphone Obstruction: Check if the microphone on the remote is clear and not covered.

6.4 IR Learning Issues

• Distance and Alignment: Ensure the remotes are 1-3 cm apart and perfectly aligned head-to-head during learning.
• Battery Level: Low batteries in either remote can affect IR learning.
• Timing: Ensure you press and hold the buttons for the correct duration as described in Section 4.3.
• Source Remote: Some older or proprietary IR remotes may have signals that are difficult to learn.
