Setup
Step 1 - What's Included
Remove all items from the box, and ensure you have everything, see list below.
A. Navigator
B. Charging Station
C. USB Receiver
D. AC Charger
E. USB Cable
Step 2 - Charging
The GlideTV Navigator incorporates a rechargeable battery which is designed to last at least 2 weeks under normal conditions.
Before using the Navigator, set up the Charging Station (B) and dock the Navigator (A) at least
once. This will unlock the buttons and ensure that the Navigator will charge.
- To charge the Navigator, first plug the supplied USB cable (E) into the supplied power adapter (D).
- Plug the power adapter into the wall outlet. The Green LED will light, indicating that the wall adapter is receiving power.
- Plug the other end of the USB cable (E) into the Charging Station (B)

- Place the Navigator (A) onto the charging station (B). When placing the Navigator into the Charging Station you will feel the Navigator drop into place. Orientation of the Navigator relative to the Charging Station does not matter. It will charge as long as it is fully seated in the Charging Station.

-
When the Navigator has been properly placed into the Charging Station, the buttons on the device will flash twice to indicate that it has been correctly docked and the Power button will begin to flash on/off slowly to indicate that the battery is being charged.
-
Once the device has been charged, the Power button will remain lit to indicate that the battery has reached full capacity.
NOTES:
The Navigator cannot be used while charging in the Charging Station.
The Battery typically takes around 4 hours to reach a full charge.
Step 3 - Connecting to your Home Theater PC (HTPC)
- Plug the USB Receiver into any available USB port of the Home Theater PC (HTPC) or PS3 connected to your TV. (If using with a Mac or PS3, see section Selecting the Operating
System).

- Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, 7 - the USB Receiver should be recognized as a standard HID combination device and will automatically install any necessary drivers. Once the hardware installation process has completed, you can begin using the device.
- Mac - the USB Receiver should be recognized as a USB device and a dialogue box will appear. Dismiss the dialogue box.
- PS3 - the USB Receiver will not require any action by the user.
Step 5 - Setting the Operating System
Your Navigator needs to know which operating system you are using on your Home Theater PC (HTPC): Windows, Mac, or PS3. Each OS requires slightly different commands in order properly operate the applications. By setting your Navigator to the right OS, your Navigator will know which signals
to send to your HTPC.
The remote ships in Windows mode from the factory. Therefore this step can usually be skipped by anyone using a Windows OS. Setting the OS on your Navigator is easy.
- Ensure you have the USB Receiver plugged into the HTPC you intend to control.
- Press and hold at the same time, the touchpad and
button until all buttons blink
twice. This indicates that your remote is ready to be programmed.
- The Navigator will continue to blink once every second 7 more times to indicate
that it is waiting for instructions.
- After the seventh time, the power button will flash red and the remote will return
to its initial state.
- Press the top right, center, or left buttons located around the edge of the touchpad, as
indicated below, to select your operating system.
- If the command was successfully programmed, the Power button will flash Amber
repeatedly.

Step 6 - Setting the Touchpad Mode
Setting the Touchpad Mode on your Navigator is easy.You will now need to tell your Navigator which touchpad mode you prefer; Relative or Absolute. The touchpad responds very differently under each mode. The Navigator ships in Relative mode, from the factory.
- Relative (Windows XP, Vista, 7, Mac, & PS3) – This mode is similar to how a touchpad works on a laptop. The cursor moves in the direction the finger/thumb is moved. Depending on the sensitivity of the cursor set on the Home Theater PC (HTPC), moving the cursor from one edge of the screen to the other may require multiple finger/thumb swipes.
- Vertical and Horizontal Scrolling is only available in this mode.
- This is the only mode supported by the PS3. If the mode is set to Absolute, the cursor movements will not be recognized.
- Absolute (Windows Vista, 7, & Mac) – In this mode, the absolute coordinates of where the thumb or finger is touching the Navigatorʼs pad are sent to the HTPC. If you touch in the upper left corner of the touchpad, the cursor will immediately move to that location on the screen. This allows for immediate access to anywhere on the screen, without the need for multiple finger/thumb swipes on the touchpad.
- When using the remote in this mode, it works best if you maintain contact with the touch surface at all times to ensure that the highlight maintains consistent tracking on the screen. When making a selection, do not remove your finger/thumb, but rather maintain contact and press down.
- In this mode Windows Vista & 7 recognize our device as a digitizer with pen input and thus supports pen flicks and gestures in this mode.
- Absolute (Windows XP) – This mode behaves like the previous Absolute mode but is designed to work with legacy operating system such as Windows XP.
Setting the Touchpad Mode on your Navigator is easy.
- Ensure that the USB Receiver is plugged into the HTPC you intend to control.
- Press at the same time, the touchpad and button until all buttons blink twice. This indicates that your remote is ready to be programmed.
- The Navigator will continue to blink once every second, 7 more times, to indicate that it is waiting for instructions.
- After the seventh time, the power button will flash red and the remote will return
to its previous state.
- Press the bottom right, center, or left buttons located around the edge of the touchpad, as indicated above, to select your touchpad mode.
- If the command was successfully programmed, the Power button will flash Amber repeatedly.
