20Tips On Learninga. Some functions from some types of remotes might notbe 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 IR26A remote and yourOriginal Remote.d. Keep at least three feet away from incandescent or low-energy lights when learning.e. Place the original remote end-to-end with the IR10Aremote so the IR transmitter (at the top) on your originalremote points at the IR learning device on the bottom ofthe IR26A remote.f. Keep the distance between the two remotes toapproximately 1 inch.g. Line up the remotes and then press the key you want tolearn. To get the correct range, press the key on the remoteyou are learning and you will see a “red halo” around thetransmit icon at the bottom left of the screen starts toflicker. The best range for learning is when it flickers mostrapidly. Move the position of the 2 remotes to achieve this.Do not change this “best distance” between the tworemotes until you have learned all the required keys.h. When Learning, you should normally not release the keybeing learned until the display prompts you to do so.However, some keys might be learned multiple times ifyou do this. If this happens just “tap” the key you want tolearn, rather than press and hold it. For example, keys thatyou normally hold down for a while (like volume up ordown) will likely require a long press when learning. Keysthat you normally give a quick press (like the numbers,and channel up/down) will likely require a quick presswhen learning. If after learning say the channel up key,you find that it changes multiple channels when pressedonce, try relearning it with a short keypress.i. If learning the first or second keys results in continuouserrors then try the following:1. Check the IR transmitters/sensors are correctly alignedbetween the two remotes.Learning

21Learning, cont.You can learn commands from an existingremote and store them under the “Main”keys on the IR26A remote, or learncommands from an existing remote andstore them under any of the 10 Side Keys.At the Home screen press the Side Keynext to Learn.At this screen you press any of the 5Side Keys K1-K5 on the left to learncommands under a Side Key, or pressany of the top 4 Side Keys K6-K9 on theright to learn commands under the mainkeys on the remote.If you press a right Side Key (to select Main Keys) you aregoing to learn, say, the Chan Up key from an existing remoteand store it under the Chan Up key on the IR10A remote.Or learn the Power key from an existing remote and store itunder the Power key on the IR10A remote, etc.If you press a left Side Key (to select Side Keys) you aregoing to learn, say, the “DVD Zoom” function from anexisting remote and store it under a Side Key on the IR26Aremote. You will then be able to name the key “DVD Zoom”and access this “DVD Zoom” function from the Mode screenwhen the remote is in the mode that you selected when youlearned this “DVD Zoom” command.2. Adjust the distance between the two remotes to be closer(e.g. half an inch) or a further away (e.g., 2 inches) fromeach other.3. Try learning the original remote keys again.4. If problems reoccur with the same key, check the originalremote key being learned – does it transmit? Does itoperate the target device?

22Learning Main KeysAt the Home screen press the Side Keynext to Learn.Then press one of the top 4 Side KeysK6-K9 to the right of the screen.Select the Device you want to learnkeys for. In this example we only have aTV, Cable Box and Satellite Receiverset up, so the rest are grayed out, butyou can still select any of the devices tolearn commands for. You are theninstructed to line up the remotes, andpress the key on the IR26A remote thatyou want to learn.You then point the remote you want tolearn commands from at the bottom ofthe IR26A remote, and press the keyon the IR26A remote that you want tolearn a command under, e.g., thePower key.

23Learning Main Keys, cont.You then press and hold (in this example)the Power key on the other remote, untilthe display shows that the command hasbeen successfully learned. Note for sometypes of key you might need to hold thekey pressed, but for other types a quickpress is sufficient. Experiment a bit. Ifkeys you learn are sent multiple times trylearning them with just a quick press.(See Tips on Learning on page 20).At this screen you can select Add Key toa Macro. Then instead of learninganother “separate” key, the next key youlearn will be added to a Macro. ThisMacro will be activated by the key thatyou learned the first command under.E.g., you could press Power and learnthe power command from your TV’sremote, then select Add Key to Macro,and press the 3 key and learn the channel3 key from your TV’s remote. Then theMacro stored under the Power key willturn on the TV and change the channelto number 3.Learning a Macro - Main KeysIf the screen says Failure, you can pressthe key and try again.You can continue learning moreindividual keys by following theinstructions on the screen, and thenpress Done when you’re finished. Oryou can press Add Key to Macro, (seebelow and next page).

24Before learning the second key in theMacro, you can if desired, set a delay(1-10 secs) after which the commandstored in the Macro will be sent. Forexample your TV might require a fewseconds after turning it on before it willrespond to a Channel Up/Downcommand. (Repeatedly press the SideKey next to Set Delay, or enter the delaydirectly with the numeric keys, 0-9).Macros - Main Keys, cont.In this case let’s set a 1 second delaybetween commands. Then point yourexisting remote at the bottom of theIR26A remote and press OK whenyou’re ready.You then press the second key on youroriginal remote that you want to add tothe Macro.When success is displayed you cancontinue adding keys to the Macro, andthen press Done when you’re finished.

25Learning Side KeysAt the Home screen press the Side Keynext to Learn.Then press any of the Side Keys K1-K5 to the left of the screen.Select the device you want to learn keysfor.
