Recording IR Channels from another Transmitter
In order for BigJack to control a TV set, video, stereo unit, DVD, toys, lamps,
etc., it is necessary that these appliances have a remote control that emits IR.
Most remote control units on the market use infrared light (IR), as does
BigJack. A TV set, for example, always has a remote control as standard,
which is used to control various functions. It is this remote control unit that is
to be used when teaching BigJack the IR channels. Other appliances such as
lamps, hall telephones, telephones and automatic door openers do not have
such a remote control unit. Abilia supplies solutions that make it possible to
control such appliances. Contact Abilia or a representative of Gewa in such
cases.
Proceed as follows to teach BigJack IR codes from another remote control
unit:
1. Check that the batteries in BigJack and in the remote control unit are fully
charged. Shield the units from intense light such as direct sunlight during
the teaching procedure.
2. Place BigJack on a table with the remote control unit pointing at the IR
sensor on BigJack, as shown in
Fig 5
.
3. Press
P
and
1
at the same time.
In order to check that BigJack and the remote control unit are positioned
correctly, press and hold down any button on the remote control unit. Move
the remote control unit left and right until the green indicator lamp goes
out. Then move the remote control unit backwards until the indicator lamp
goes out (1 metre for certain units). Place the remote control unit between
these limits. Certain types of remote control unit give only a short flash for
each press. If this is the case, press the button on the remote control unit
repeatedly.
