Weather Resistant Remote Control
Powering On/Off the U3
TO POWER THE U3 ON:
• Press and hold the "Power" and "OK" buttons simultaneously until the U3
powers on.
TO POWER THE U3 OFF:
• Press and hold the "Power" and "OK" buttons simultaneously to enter the
Control Panel. Navigate to "Power Down" and press the "OK" button. The
screen will flash a message and then go blank.
NOTE: During normal operation, the display will always appear to be "on". The
Electronic Paper Display uses minimal battery power to operate. When the unit
is not in use, the U3 goes into low power mode (the display will stay on) and any
button press will wake the U3 to full operation status.
Charging the U3 Battery
WHEN TO CHARGE THE U3:
The U3 uses a Lithium-ion rechargeable battery which will not exhibit a memory
effect from being charged too often, therefore the remote control may be placed
into the charging dock when not in use.
• The display will show an insufficient battery power icon when the battery
capacity becomes low and a charge cycle is required.
CHARGING THE U3:
1. Locate and install the appropriate wall outlet plug onto the power supply.
2. Insert the micro USB end of the power supply cable into the USB port located
on the backside of the charging dock.
3. Plug the power supply cable into a wall outlet.
4. Gently set the U3 onto the charging dock.
5. The battery icon on the bottom right of the display will show when the
battery is fully charged.
Replacing the U3 Battery
Do not disassemble the U3. Do not remove the screws holding the back cover of
the U3. Service of the U3, including battery replacement, should be performed
by RTI or authorized personnel only.
U3 Docking Stations
The U3 comes with two docking stations, one for charging the battery and one
for a convenient place to store the remote.
CHARGING DOCK
The charging dock is not weather resistant and is for indoor use only. The
charging dock has a micro USB port for connection to the AC power supply cable
and has four channel options for convenient cord routing.
NOTE: The U3 comes with a white power supply and micro USB cable. The
cable is detachable from the power supply in case a longer or different cable is
preferred.
CRADLE
The weather resistant cradle can be used for a convenient place to store the U3
in the area where the remote is being used.
NOTE: The cradle does not recharge the battery.
Mounting Holster
The mounting holster attaches to the bottom of the charging dock or cradle to
hold the U3 secure for when it is affixed to a wall. There are three (3) tabs on
the mounting holster. To attach, carefully slide each docking tab of the holster
into the coordinating slot on the back of the docking station, starting on one
side, then the middle tab, and then the other side.

U3 Back
The rubber cover over the back of the U3 is made with an anti-microbacterial
additive to prevent mold and is removable for cleaning. Carefully remove it by
gently pulling from the edge of the rubber. To reattach, fit the rubber on the
back of the remote and press the ridge around the edge of the rubber into the
groove around the outside of the unit.
The back of the U3 has a waterproof pressure vent near the top. Keep this vent
clear and do not poke anything into the vent or damage may occur, voiding the
warranty.
NOTE: The serial number for the unit is found on the back beneath the cover.
