The KP-900 Wireless Keypad Remote Control

(Credit: Universal) No wires to pull—the KP-900 Keypad Remote is completely wireless. Powered by four easy-to-replace AAA batteries, it can be easily removed from the wall bracket for convenient handheld use as an IR and RF remote control. The keypad can be mounted on any surface—brick, sheetrock or plaster—using the included four small screws. And the built-in magnets allow it to stick to metal surfaces—even most refrigerators. It features backlit, laser etched buttons and a bright backlit LCD for easy text-based control.

The KP-900 is equipped with a bright, easy to read, backlit LCD screen, and injection-molded backlit buttons with laser-etched labeling. Six buttons to the right of the screen are labeled based on what a user is watching or listening to, and change accordingly. Someone ‘Watching TV,’ for example, will see a list of buttons useful to that activity. If he selects ‘DVD,’ the buttons will automatically change to control the DVD — making operation of the system simple, fluid and intuitive.

The KP-900 is designed to be professionally programmed using proprietary URC software through a Windows PC equipped with a USB port. The software is available at no extra cost from the URC Web site, www.universalremote.com. While a basic set-up only takes a few minutes, fully automating an A/V system requires a detailed knowledge of the equipment, the user’s preferences, and how the system is connected.
