Learning Tips
Start with the remote control about an inch apart from the keypad.
Vary the learning distance from one inch to as much as four feet if the
code doesn’t test correctly. Make sure the remote is pointed at the
red lens of the CK1.2 or CK1.1 IR sensor.
Fresh Batteries in the Original Remote Control -
Weak bat-
teries will cause CKEditor to fail to correctly learn. Note that EVEN
if the original remote still operates the component, the batteries can
be too weak to produce a strong enough carrier for any learning
keypad to detect!!!! When you have learning problems, replace the
batteries FIRST!
Tap instead of Pressing and Holding -
With normal short burst
codes (buttons the user would simply tap, rather than press and
hold), this will produce better results. Normally, you should press
and hold.
The “Flutter” Technique -
If you are having problems with a “Press and Hold” Code (like volume up or down a but-
ton the user would press and hold), sometimes fluttering the button while in learn mode will work.
The “Semaphore” Technique -
Typically only used when you are trying to isolate one command from a remote with
a pre-programmed macro. Use a book or another opaque object in between the two remotes. Press the button on the
original remote, then remove the obstruction for a moment, then put it back. Experiment with different timings.
Learning IR Codes One at a Time
Select the Button -
Select the button that you want to teach to by single clicking it.
Click on the LEARN Shortcut Button -
The Learn shortcut button stays depressed to indicate that you
have selected LEARN mode.
Wait for READY to Appear -
The CK1.2 or CK1.1 Keypad must be connected to the PC. Once you see
the READY indicator, press and hold the corresponding button on the original keypad while pointing it at the
TOP of the Keypad. When the code is successfully learned, the window will say GOOD, confirming that the
code learned “
correctly.
” Actually, the GOOD means that the code
might be good....
Press the test icon
to
test if it really is good! Reteach as necessary.
