Had this remote here a couple days, and just now put the batteries in it for the first time :eek:
so, I put batteries in it (two batteries, one at each end on the keypad side) and powered the buzz 3000 on with this new remote. Powered on and off and on OK....But then nothing else would work.
I did not know what to think... batteries were new. I pondered on this awhile and even had my second beer opened before I remember that little USB key thing, there it was sitting ontop of my desk just where I put it earlier... haaaa :)
Plugged that in and then of course things started working.

Noticed a couple things ..
The LAST button opens the installed Kodi
I guess maybe I am thinking that the LAST is defined as the 'last' app that was opened.. although I never did open Kodi recently until I hit that LAST function just now, (the arrow button brings up last channel).
Something to check later maybe.

The Guide and Info buttons while on LiveTV, both brings up the individual description of current channel programing only. For full EPG, use the Menu button to open the side bar menu with EPG option.
The Server button does not seem to do anything presently, that I saw so far.
The colored buttons work, for desired functions as per previous remotes.
LiveTV and VOD buttons do not seem to function. Use the Home button to get the working LiveTV and VOD selections.
Keypad functions work well and save huge amount of time (as mentioned above) , even with Buzz's onscreen KB (keypad) which is a pretty fast keypad operation, this remote's keypad speeds things up even from that.
Nice :)
The original Buzz onscreen KB is still accessible and usable as well.
Front buttons and even the back keypad buttons are of the slightly larger size and placed nicely it seems too (as mentioned above).... easily found and functioned, even with my poor eyesight and big thumbs.
And ARQ is not unfamiliar with remotes and other devices. They been manufacturing these awhile . Which is a bonus too.
Big bonus is that I can point the remote under the couch and the signal is picked up and always works. I even completely smothered the remote in a couch pillow and it still worked :)
Very nice remote.

I just noticed something kinda unique with this remote.
When you use the Mouse Pointer button on the remote it brings up the mouse pointer onscreen, nothing surprising with that , but....
You can wave your remote around and the mouse pointer moves on-screen the same as the movements you do with the remote.
Moving the remote till the pointer hovers over a selection and then press OK and that works :)
No more cumbersome mouse pointer moving with the arrow keys :)

that's why it's called an air remote ;)

I got the remote today and found instructions.
So I did the remote learning feature and managed to get the remote to power the TV and change the source... but now many of the buttons don't work for the 3000 anymore.
Home, channel up and down, return, volume...
Is there a way to reset it?

I do not see much documentation about an actual reset function. Seeing lots of info about resetting or recalerbrating the air mouse.

I did see posted on a Playstation board and with one of their air mouse remotes that after waking up the remote (press any button) then press and hold the Cursor Lock button for 3 seconds and that factory resets that remote (erases the IR commands that you entered).
That is a different remote thou (PS1 and PS2 air remote).

Be careful of what you press thou, actually of how many buttons you press at same time. Pressing all the arrow buttons at same time may mess up the Air Mouse and the mouse will drift by itself.

But try the cursor button for 3 seconds.
