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 IR34A remote and your 

Original Remote.

d. 

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

e. 

Place the original remote end-to-end with the IR34A remote 
so the IR transmitter (at the top) on your original remote 
points at the IR learning device on the bottom of the IR34A 
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 fl icker. 
The best range for learning is when it fl ickers 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 fi nd 
that it changes multiple channels when pressed once, try 
relearning it with a short key press.

i. 

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

 Learning

 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 fi ve 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 point-
ing 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.
