Tips On Learning

The following are the guidelines that will help you use this
feature:

a. Some functions from some types of remotes might not

be able to be learned.

b. No functions may be learned under the HOME, MODE,

FAVORITE, HIS, or HERS (hard) keys.

c. Use fresh batteries for both the IR32A remote and your

Original Remote.

d.

Keep at least three feet away from incandescent or low-
energy lights when learning. (Ambient light can influence
learning a great deal.)

e.

Place the original remote end-to-end with the IR32A
remote so the IR transmitter (at the top) on your original
remote points at the IR learning device on the bottom of the
IR32A IconRemote.

f.

Keep the distance between the two remotes to
approximately 1 inch.

g.

Line up the remotes and then press the key you want to
learn. To get the correct range, press the key on the remote
you are learning and you will see a “red halo” around the
transmit icon at the bottom left of the screen starts to
flicker. The best range for learning is when it flickers most
rapidly. Move the position of the 2 remotes to achieve this.
(Slightly off center may improve the best learning.) Do not
change this “best distance” between the two remotes until
you have learned all the required keys.

h.

When Learning, you should normally not release the key
being learned until the display prompts you to do so.
However, some keys might be learned multiple times if you
do this. If this happens just “tap” the key you want to
learn, rather than press and hold it. For example, keys that
you normally hold down for a while (like volume up or
down) will likely require a long press when learning. Keys
that you normally give a quick press (like the numbers, and
channel up/down) will likely require a quick press when
learning. If after learning say the channel up key, you find
that it changes multiple channels when pressed once, try
relearning it with a short key press.

i.

If learning the first or second keys results in continuous
errors then try the following:

Sleep

Sleep lets you set any device to turn off a
preset time from now. You can set the off
time in increments of 15 minutes, up to a
maximum of 90 minutes.

Press the 

HOME 

button to go to the

Home Screen, then press the Side Key
next to Sleep.

You can set a sleep timer for any or all of
the devices that you’ve set up, i.e., any
that are not grayed out.

In this example we only have a TV,
Cable Box, and Satellite Receiver set up.

Below, we pressed Side Key K1 next to
the TV icon once, to set a sleep timer of
15 minutes.

We pressed Side Key K2 next to the
Cable Box icon twice to set a sleep timer
for 30 minutes.

And we press Side Key K7 next to the
Sat icon five times to set a sleep timer of
1 hour and 30 minutes.

Pressing OK takes you back to the Home
screen with your sleep timers saved. The
next time you select the Sleep screen
you’ll see that the sleep timers have
started to count down.

Make sure you leave the remote
pointing at the device(s) you’ve set
Sleep Timers for so it can send the
Power command to the device(s) at the
time(s) you’ve set.
