It’s Under Control® Chapter 3 | operation GETTING STARTED The T4 is turned-on by simply sliding the power switch (located in the battery compartment) into the ‘ON’ position. If the unit shows no activity, the battery may need to be re-charged. After power is applied, the T4 will take approximately ten seconds to load the operating system, the application software, and the user program. This long delay only occurs from a power-down state.
T4 2.4GHz Universal System Controller Chapter 3 | operation THE TOUCHSCREEN DISPLAY The T4 touchscreen display is organized into a series of pages. Normally each page contains objects (buttons, text, graphics, etc.) that are related in some way. For instance, they may all display information necessary for controlling a particular CD player. By default, the T4 has one Home page—all other pages are normally accessed from links on the Home page.
It’s Under Control® Chapter 3 | operation THE CONTROL PANEL PAGE The Control Panel page can be displayed by pressing and holding the touchscreen while sliding the power switch from the ‘OFF’ position to the ‘ON’ position. Continue to hold the touchscreen until the Control Panel appears.

Press the OK button when finished.
