Chapter 1. Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of the Sonance Navigator® K2 touchscreen
keypad. The Navigator K2 combines the power and flexibility of a graphic LCD
touchscreen with the convenience and familiarity of real buttons.
Navigator K2 takes complete control of the home’s audio/video, lighting, and other
systems, replacing all other user interfaces. It features an intuitive, easy to read LCD
that can display custom buttons, text, graphics, and symbols. In addition to the
backlit display, 11 “hard” keypad buttons allow easy access to frequently used
functions.
Programming is easy and convenient thanks to the advanced Windows® based
software.
NOTE
The Navigator K2 and Navigator K2 Manager software are compatible with infrared
(IR) commands with carrier frequencies between 15kHz and 460kHz, as well as
those commands that do not use a carrier (the built-in infrared receiver is only
compatible with carrier frequencies between 20kHz and 120kHz). This covers the
vast majority of remote controls available to date
Despite every effort to make the Navigator K2 universal system controller work with
all IR systems, some IR-controlled products are unable to be controlled by the
Navigator K2 due to incompatible frequencies or non-standard IR formats. The
Navigator K2 cannot reproduce non-IR formats such as RF and ultrasonic.
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
After unpacking your new Navigator K2 keypad, save all of the packing materials, in
case you ever have to ship the unit.
Thoroughly inspect the Navigator K2 and packing materials for signs of damage.
Report any damage to the carrier immediately. Report any equipment malfunctions
to Sonance.
