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.
