Macro Notes

1. You might want to add “delays” in a Macro

sequence (e.g. to allow for your TV warm-up time).
Delays can be added by using the 

PAUSE 

button

followed by the number of seconds delay required.
For example, to enter a delay of 3 seconds, press and
release 

PAUSE 

followed by

 (in step 4 of “To Setup a

Macro” on the previous page).  Maximum delay is 9
seconds.  It is not possible to have a “0” digit
entered after Pause i.e. there is no zero delay.

2. There is an automatic delay of half a second between

each IR transmission in a Macro sequence.
