INTRODUCTION
- The PD108-420 programming remote provides IR control and setup of PDI’s smart television models.
- It will operate any PDI TV regardless of the TV’s Bed A/B/C/D setting. Because this remote has the SETUP button to gain full access to the TV’s menus, it should not be given to patients.
- PDI offers other remotes designed for patient use.
ARROW KEYS
- Newer model TVs (after 2018) may not respond to the arrow keys. If that happens, use the following key mapping.
- UPDATE to move right
- MODE to move left
- INDEX to move up
- MIX to move down
- PDI offers an overlay for the PD108-420 remote that indicates the key mapping used by newer model TVs. The overlay part number is PD227-298.
- For newer TVs, PDI recommends using the PD108-520 remote, which contains separate arrow, volume and channel keys.
Troubleshooting
- Install two high-quality 1.5V “AAA” alkaline batteries. Don’t mix old batteries with new batteries.
- Remove batteries when you won’t use the remote for a long time. Liquid leakage from old batteries may cause remote failure.
- Make sure there are no objects between the remote control and the TV’s sensor that might block the signal.
- Don’t place the remote control near a heater or in a damp place. A strong impact on the remote control may cause operational failure.
- The signal from the remote control may be disturbed by sunlight or other bright lights. In this case, darken the room or move the TV.
