DESCRIPTION/OPERATION OVERVIEW

This section describes the TS-1's components and how each of the keys operates.

TS-1 Front Description

The TS-1 front contains two types of keys, as shown in Figure 1 on the next page: Hard Keys and
Touch Keys that appear on the back-lit Touch Screen. The Hard Keys are traditional hard-formed keys
and are used to control the most common functions (e.g., volume, see page 8). The Touch Keys
are software-driven and will change functionality (and labels) as you touch them (see page 9).
In addition, an IR Sensor and a PROGRAM Jack (for installers) are hidden under the faceplate. The
IR Sensor communicates with a (optional) Niles R-4 or R-8 Remote Control so you can conveniently
operate the TS-1 at a distance. The PROGRAM Jack allows an installer to set custom features on the
TS-1 when using a connected laptop PC and our TS-1 programming software.
