The iiMote Mini allows your iPhone or iPod to transmit infrared signal to control your electronic devices. The iiMote Mini App supports up to 16 devices. Up-to-date IR remote control codes can be downloaded from the iiMote.net web site.

         

You can take normal phone calls with the iiMote Mini on.

Quick Start

         

1)       Download the iiMote Mini App from App Store

2)       Plug in the iiMote Mini, and turn the iPhone to full volume.

3)       Launch the App and enter your email address and the serial number that comes with the package.

4)       Tap on the setup icon to add support for your TV and other devices. You can tap on the [Auto Search] button to find the matching model.

         

Note: Please leave the switch at 'P' position so that you can take phone calls without removing the iiMote Mini.

         

Adding Devices

         

You can download the matching remote control code for each of the 16 devices. Please make sure your iPhone is online. A Wi-Fi connection is recommended.

         

1)       To choose the right model for your device, please select the Device Type and Brand first. Then select the model number that matches your device.

2)       If you cannot find the exact model number, please try one by one from the list. If tapping a [Test] button can get the right response from your home device, the corresponding model should be the right one.

3)       Finally, tap the [Add] button to download the selected remote control code.

         

To speed up the process, you can use the [Auto Search] function. The iiMote will send out the [Mute] command automatically until you tap the [Pause] button after seeing the right response on your TV.

Operation

Please make sure that the iPhone is not in silent mode, and the volume is 100%.

You can select the current device by tapping on [Change] and choosing from the available device list.

     

Point the iiMote Mini to the TV or other devices you want to control when tapping on the buttons. The control distance is up to 10 meters.

     

You should hear a very light beep sound from the iiMote Mini when a button is tapped on.

 

         

Taking phone calls

         

When the switch in Phone Call (P) position, you can still take phone calls without taking the iiMote Mini out, because there a small speakers inside the unit. Please remember to turn the switch to P position after learning.

         

Learning

         

If you can not find the matching IR code for your device, you can learn your existing remote control using the [Learn] function.

         

Turn the switch at the bottom of the iiMote Mini to the Learning (L) position.      

         

Place the remote control and the iPhone on a table side-by-side, so that the remote control is pointing to the sensor of the iiMote Mini. During the learning process, please make sure the remote control and the iPhone are relatively stable.

         

Tap a button on the iPhone to learn, then press the corresponding key on the remote control. The button will turn white if it is learned properly. When finished learning all the keys, tap [OK] to start processing the learned IR codes.

         

You can tap the [Test] button to see if the one key you've just learned works.

         

Note:

For some remote controls with strong signals, the iPod App sometimes are activated during learning. This is because some remote control codes are similar to the iPhone's earphone control signal. You can ignore the music played in the background and keep on learning. The music will stop when you learn the next button.

                   

Adjustment

         

If the keys can turn white, but the learned code can not control your device, you can tap the [Adjust] button to enter the Adjustment screen. You can change the Carrier Frequency to see which one works. When a frequency works, please tap [OK] to use it.

                   

Getting help for learning problem

You will receive emails for the solution if you have entered your email address during setup.

         

When your problem is fixed, there will be a [Fixed] button next to your device on Device Setup screen. You can then tap the [Fixed] button to download the good IR codes.
