Usage Features:

The Digitec Smart is designed for ease of use, with a four-step setup process:

Download the App: Users must download the "Digitec Smart" app from the Apple App Store. The manual provides a direct link: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id575106568.
Install the App: The app installs automatically on the iPhone after download.
Learn the Source Remote Control:
- Set the iPhone's volume to the highest level.
- Insert the Digitec Smart into the earphone jack.
- Run the app. The app will perform a hardware verification. If the correct Digitec Smart device is detected, it will proceed to the main interface, prompting the user to "Please add your device."
- If the device is not inserted or an incorrect hardware is detected, the app will display a "Tips" message indicating that it "Cannot detect your Digitec Smart" and offer an option to purchase a new device.
Start to Use Digitec Smart:
- Adding a Device: From the main menu (accessed by touching the "menu" button), select "Add." Users can input a device name (e.g., "TV") and choose the device type (TV, DVD, Music). After naming and selecting the type, touching "Save" will add the device.
- Editing Buttons: Once a device is added, all menu functions (Add, Edit, Delete, Simulate) become active. To edit buttons, touch the "Edit" button. Users can rename the device or add new buttons.
  - Adding a Button: Touch "Add button." Users can select from preset icons using left/right arrows or input custom text for button names. Button colors can also be customized. After configuration, touching "Save" adds the new button.
  - Editing an Existing Button: In "Edit" mode, touching any existing button reveals "Edit" and "Delete" options. Touching "Edit" allows modification of button type, size, and color.
- Learning IR Signals (Simulate Function):
  - Touch the "Simulate" button from the main menu.
  - Select the target button on the app's interface that needs to learn an IR signal.
  - The app will prompt to learn the IR signal.
  - Point the source remote control's IR LED near the Digitec Smart's receiver window and hold for approximately 1 second.
  - If successful, the indication window will close, and the button on the app will change to bright, indicating it has learned the signal. If learning fails, users can cancel and relearn.
  - Multiple buttons can be learned or relearned using this method. After all necessary buttons are learned, touch "Save" to store the changes.
- Deleting a Device:
  - From the main menu, touch the "Delete" button.
  - Select the device(s) to be deleted from the list.
  - Touch "Done," then confirm the deletion by touching "OK" on the confirmation prompt.

The app allows for the addition of multiple devices, enabling one iPhone to control various appliances.

Maintenance Features:

The manual outlines several important attentions for the proper use and longevity of the Digitec Smart:

Power Source: The Digitec Smart is powered by the iPhone. Users must ensure their phone has sufficient power for the device to function.
Environmental Conditions: The device is not water-proof. It should be kept dry and avoided in humid, corrosive, or other harsh environments to prevent damage.
Interference: To avoid error codes, ensure that the controlled device is not too close to other infrared devices.
Safety: The Digitec Smart is not a children's toy. It should be kept away from children to prevent ingestion or other injuries.

Troubleshooting (F&Q):

Q: Why users cannot control several appliances at the same time?
- A: Users must first learn and save the code from the original remote control to their iPhone. Then, they need to switch to the operation interface of the specific device they wish to control within the app.
Q: Why Digitec Smart is not sensitive enough?
- A: The Digitec Smart transmits IR signals, which can be absorbed by walls or other obstacles. To improve sensitivity, point the front end of the Digitec Smart directly towards the receiver window of the appliance and ensure it is not too far away.
