Can the votive command be activated by the screen or do I need the remote? Thanks in advance for your help.

But it's a bit odd because you cannot turn it completely off, it just goes into sleep mode. This results in battery drain if you leave it sitting for awhile without charging or using in the auto cradle. Another issue is that you cannot perform a reset on this model unless you physically remove the battery, forcing a full shutdown. Resets are sometimes needed to clear glitches from memory. There are many good things about this older model, but the issues I've mentioned have been a source of frustration for many users and frequently discussed on different forums, so just be aware.
