Crest HEALTHCARE Elite Infrared Quick Start Guide

Programming & Operating the Device

Crest Elite Infrared Pillow Speaker with Set Top Box control can be programmed to operate your TV, DVD and Set Top Box by simply following the Instructions listed below. TV and Set Top Box are always programmed together, and needs to be programmed prior to programming DVD. Note: If you have multiple beds/TVs in the same room, please see following instructions before proceeding with programming. Pressing video button will either let you control your DVD player, or access Video On Demand functions if the service is offered by your cable/satellite TV provider. From this point on Set Top Box and Video On Demand will be referred to as STB and VOD respectively.

Programming to operate TV and STB

1. Locate your TV brand and STB or cable/satellite TV provider in the Entertainment Device Codes section located below. If more than one code is listed for your device, start with the first code listed. If you intend to use your pillow speaker to control your DVD player as well, use the codes from 'w/DVD' column for STB, otherwise use the codes from 'w/VOD' column.
2. Press the tv button. You should get a short confirmation LED flash above the tv button.
3. Press and hold the info/CC/5 and channel down buttons. The tv LED will flash for one second confirming you are entering programming mode. Continue holding both buttons down until the tv LED starts to flash. This should take approximately three seconds.
4. Release the channel down button while the tv LED is flashing from step three. The tv LED will stop flashing. Continue to hold down the info/CC/5 button until the tv LED starts to flash again. This should take approximately three seconds.
5. Release the info/CC/5 button while the tv LED is flashing from step four. The tv LED will stop flashing and remain off. You will have roughly 15 seconds to begin entering the three-digit device code from step one.
6. Enter the three-digit TV code. The tv LED will flash once after each digit is entered to signify that the digit has been accepted. Once the code has been entered, the tv LED will remain off for two seconds followed by a two second flash to signify a valid code entry.
7. Type in the three-digit STB code. The tv LED will flash once after each digit is entered to signify that the digit has been accepted. Once the code has been entered the tv LED will remain off for two seconds followed by a two second flash to signify a valid code entry.
8. Test all the buttons on the pillow speaker. If the code doesn't work, program the pillow speaker by repeating steps two through seven with another device code listed for your device brand.

Programming to operate DVD player

1. Locate your DVD brand in the Entertainment Device Codes section located below. If more than one code is listed for your device, start with the first code listed.
2. Press the video button. You should get a short confirmation LED flash above the video button.
3. Press and hold the info/CC/5 and mute buttons. The video LED will flash for one second confirming you are entering programming mode. Continue holding both buttons down until the video LED starts to flash. This should take approximately three seconds.
4. Release the mute button while the video LED is flashing from step three. The LED will stop flashing. Continue to hold down the info/CC/5 button until the video LED starts to flash again. This should take approximately three seconds.
5. Release the info/CC/5 button while the video LED is flashing from step four. The video LED will stop flashing and remain off. You will have roughly 15 seconds to begin entering the three-digit device code for DVD from step one.
6. Enter the three-digit DVD code. The video LED will flash once after each digit is entered to signify that the digit has been accepted. Once the code has been entered, the video LED will remain off for two seconds followed by a two second flash to signify a valid code entry.
7. Test all the buttons on the pillow speaker. If the code doesn't work, program the pillow speaker by repeating steps two through seven with another DVD code listed for your DVD brand.

Note: If you see the LED flash five times very quickly while entering device code, then either the code that was entered was invalid or too much time elapsed between digit entries. In this case, repeat the entire programming procedure. Your pillow speaker will return to normal operation throughout steps two through four if you simply release both the info/CC/5 and channel down or mute buttons. In either of these two cases your pillow speaker will default back to the codes that were being used prior to programming.

Room Environments with Multiple Beds and STB-TV combination

There are two equipment configuration options available when using the Crest Elite Infrared Pillow Speaker in room environments with multiple beds and STB-TV combination. The grade/type of TVs in use (health-grade, commercial or consumer) and a STB feature will determine the feasibility of the options.
When healthcare-grade or commercial TVs are in use, STB-TV combinations and the pillow speakers can be paired using the STB and TV's multiple IR code capability. Pairings are referred to as Bed 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. With this configuration, one TV is set to Bed 1 and then the pillow speaker that will be used with that particular TV is programmed as Bed 1. Another TV and pillow speaker in the same room is paired in the same way as Bed 2. Along with the TV, the STB used in the room should also have the feature of multiple IR code capability and the pairing process of STB and pillows speaker is the same as described above for TVs. This pairing method is continued until each STB-TV combination and pillow speaker in the same space has been paired.
Alternatively, TVs of any type (healthcare-grade, commercial and consumer) and STBs will function with the Crest Elite Infrared Pillow Speaker so long as no TV and STB in the same room accepts the same IR code.

STB-TV combination

IPTV refers to the delivery of the TV content/channels via Ethernet. Usually there is a cable box placed between the TV and the Ethernet connection which is equipped with an IR receiver. New smart TVs may include the cable box inside the TV. Regardless of the set-up, Crest IR Pillow Speakers are capable of operating the IPTV.
