Chapter 2. Introduction
The Navigator K2 is a programmable touchscreen keypad that is designed to provide
wired control of audio/video and other electronic systems. The Navigator K2 is a
stand-alone controller that can be thought of as a universal remote control that is
permanently installed on a wall. Like other “universal” or “learning” remote
controls, the Navigator K2 allows you to consolidate the functions of many
independent infrared remote controls into one unit. The Navigator K2 also
incorporates a unique programmable user interface, allowing it to provide a simple,
intuitive, and customized interface for any system. Before using the Navigator K2,
please read and follow all instructions in this manual.
FEATURES
The Navigator K2 provides superior quality and reliability as well as these specific
features:
• A replacement for all of your system’s remote controls. The Navigator K2 can
reproduce all of the commands of almost any infrared remote control.
• A programmable graphic display. The Navigator K2 uses powerful

and symbols anywhere on the display.
• A backlit LCD with digital matrix touchscreen. When you want to perform a
command, simply touch the display where that command is displayed. The
touchscreen never needs calibrating.
• Real buttons. The Navigator K2 has 11 backlit “hard” keypad buttons that
allow easy access to frequently used functions. The six source buttons can be
re-labeled using a separate membrane keypad kit (Sonance part number

• A macro function. This feature allows the Navigator K2 to perform a series of
commands by pressing a single button. For example, you can create a macro
called “Movie” that turns on the TV, sets the correct channel, turns on the
VCR, dims the lights, and starts playing a movie.
• Automatic power on and off. The Navigator K2 powers itself down whenever
it is not used for a pre-set amount of time. Touching any area of the display
or a hard button will turn it on again.
• Industry standard IR output port. The Navigator K2 can be wired into
standard IR repeater systems.
• Power status feedback. The Navigator K2 can be connected to the power
status trigger output or a switched outlet (via a plug-in power adapter) of
audio controllers or receivers to indicate system power status using the bi-
