Operating Instructions

Air Mouse Function

The BPR2S Plus features a 6-axis gyroscope for precise motion control, allowing you to use the remote as an air mouse:

• To activate the air mouse, press the dedicated mouse button (often indicated by a cursor icon).
• Once activated, move your wrist to control the on-screen cursor.
• Press the mouse button again to deactivate the air mouse and return to standard button navigation.

Voice Input

The remote supports voice assistant functionality for searching content:

• Press the voice input button (often indicated by a microphone icon) to activate the voice search function.
• Speak clearly into the remote's microphone.

Note on Voice Function Compatibility:

• In Bluetooth (BT) mode, the voice function is compatible with some Android TV (ATV) devices (e.g., TCL Smart TV, Shield TV Box, HAKO mini, Google TV), but it may not be compatible with all AOSP (Android Open Source Project) devices.
• In 2.4G mode, the voice function supports both AOSP Android and ATV devices.
• The voice search function typically works for the built-in voice input search box or specific applications, and cannot search across all apps.

IR Learning (Infrared Learning)

The BPR2S Plus allows you to program all its buttons to learn IR signals from other remote controls:

1. Place the BPR2S Plus remote and the original remote control head-to-head, approximately 1-3 cm apart.
2. Press and hold the button on the BPR2S Plus that you wish to program until its indicator light starts flashing rapidly.
3. While the BPR2S Plus button is flashing, press the corresponding button on your original remote control that you want to learn.
4. The BPR2S Plus indicator light will flash slowly, then turn solid, indicating successful learning.
5. Repeat for other buttons as desired.
6. Once IR learning is applied, only the Power button will send the IR signal first in wireless mode (2.4G/BT).

IR Learning Compatible Devices:

All AOSP devices, some Android TV (ATV) devices, and certain Smart TVs.

Four Keys IR Isolation

The BPR2S Plus features four dedicated TV buttons (Power, Volume Up, Volume Down, Mute) that offer IR isolation, allowing you to control your TV and streaming device simultaneously:

• These four TV buttons default to Samsung TV IR code values.
• In Bluetooth mode, these four TV buttons maintain IR isolation, meaning they will send IR signals to your TV independently of the Bluetooth connection to your streaming device.
• These four TV buttons also support any IR values learning, allowing you to program them for your specific TV brand.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BPR2S Plus remote control, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the remote's performance degrades or the indicator light signals low power. Always use new AAA batteries and ensure correct polarity. Remove batteries if the remote will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the remote's surface. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the remote's finish or internal components.
• Storage: Store the remote in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
• Handling: Avoid dropping the remote or subjecting it to strong impacts, which can damage the internal gyroscope or other sensitive components.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your BPR2S Plus remote control, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Remote Not Responding:
  • Check battery levels and replace if necessary.
  • Ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged into your device for 2.4G mode.

  • Ensure the remote is within the effective operating range (up to 10 meters).
• Air Mouse Cursor Not Moving/Erratic:
  • Ensure the air mouse function is activated.
  • Recalibrate the gyroscope if the cursor drifts (refer to specific device instructions if available, or try turning the remote off and on).
• Voice Input Not Working:
  • Verify compatibility with your specific device and connection mode (BT vs. 2.4G) as noted in the 'Voice Input' section.
  • Ensure the voice search function is being used within a compatible app or the device's built-in search box.
  • Check if the microphone on the remote is obstructed.
• IR Learning Issues:
  • Ensure the original remote and BPR2S Plus are placed very close (1-3 cm) and directly facing each other during the learning process.

  • Repeat the learning steps carefully.
• Compatibility Issues:
  • The remote is compatible with 99% of Android TV boxes and streaming devices.
