The remote listens for 10 minutes. If it hears a valid voice command
in that time, you get another 10 minutes. If it does not hear a valid
voice command, the KEYWORD indicator light turns off and the
remote enters power-save mode to conserve batteries. To start using
voice commands again, press the

button.

Notes
The batteries will last longer if you keep the remote set to listen
for shorter periods of time.
If the RCA Voice Control Remote doesn’t recognize your voice for
the built-in commands, you can train the remote to respond to
your custom voice commands. The next chapter tells you how.
To get the most from the voice control remote, train it to respond
to your voice, to perform your customized commands, like tuning
to your favorite channels. The next chapter tells you how.
AutoMute
When you say the keyword, the remote will “bleep” (if sound is
enabled) and it will mute your TV for 3 seconds. This makes the
room quieter for the subsequent voice commands.
Now that you’ve programmed the remote to operate your home
theater and practiced with the remote’s built-in commands, you’re
ready to train the voice control remote to respond to your own,
customized commands. By the end of this section you’ll be using
one-word voice commands to perform the following activities:
•
turn on a single device
•
tune to channels
•
turn on all your devices
•
turn off all your devices
This section will also teach you how to set a new keyword for your
remote and build your own multi-step commands (or activities).
Train the remote
Training Tips
• When you train the remote, the room should be quiet.
Lower the TV volume. Try to minimize any background noise.
Make sure there aren’t any other people talking nearby.
• Train the remote in the same room where you plan to use it.
• Set the remote down on a flat surface near you.
Put the remote on a table just at arms length. You don’t
need to hold it close to your mouth. In a quiet environment,
the remote works best 12–36 inches from you. In a noisy
environment, the range is 12–24 inches.
• Speak naturally and consistently.
Speak the same when you are training the RCA Voice Control
