Press the first transmitter button to be programmed. When the button is pressed, the button's 

code number and an asterisk (*) appear at the DOS prompt. The following example shows that 

the transmitter button (code number 128) was pressed.    

The asterisk after the button code number indicates that the PC Presenter is in programming 

mode, waiting for keystrokes to be assigned to the selected transmitter button.

5.

Type the keystrokes that are to be executed by the corresponding transmitter button. For 

example, type 

Button One

. The characters that you type are displayed on the screen as you 

type them.

To cancel a keystroke entry error, press a different radio transmitter button than the one used to 

initiate the current keystroke assignment. If you press a different button after keystrokes are 

entered, no changes are saved. This action cancels the new keystroke assignment, and the PC 

Presenter remains in program mode.

6.

Press the same radio transmitter button (the button pressed in step 4 a second time. This action 

displays a second asterisk ("*") immediately after the recorded keystrokes, the transmitter 

button's code number, and the message 

"*** Keystrokes saved ***"

. The example below 

shows that the transmitter button (code number 128) was programmed with the keystrokes 

"Button One"

.              

The PC Presenter remains in program mode until you tell it to exit

Repeat steps 4-6 to assign keystrokes to other buttons, or to change keystroke assignments for 

any programmed button.

Exiting program mode

To exit program mode, press any key on the PC keyboard. PC Presenter tells you that it is storing 

the new codes and keystrokes, when it is finished saving, and then that it is exiting program mode,
