2524Learning, cont.You can learn commands from an existingremote and store them under the “Main”keys on the IR32A IconRemote, 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 IR32A IconRemote.Or learn the Power key from an existing remote and store itunder the Power key on the IR32A IconRemote, etc.If you press a left Side Key (to select Side Keys) you are goingto learn, say, the “DVD Zoom” function from an existingremote and store it under a Side Key on the IR32AIconRemote. You will then be able to name the key “DVDZoom” and access this “DVD Zoom” function from the Modescreen when the remote is in the mode that you selected whenyou learned this “DVD Zoom” command.• Check the IR transmitters/sensors are correctly alignedbetween the two remotes.• 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.• Try learning the original remote keys again.• If problems reoccur with the same key, check the originalremote key being learned – does it transmit? Does itoperate the target device?Tips 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 IR32A 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 IR32Aremote so the IR transmitter (at the top) on your originalremote points at the IR learning device on the bottom of theIR32A IconRemote.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 if youdo this. If this happens just “tap” the key you want to learn,rather than press and hold it. For example, keys that younormally hold down for a while (like volume up or down)will likely require a long press when learning. Keys thatyou normally give a quick press (like the numbers, andchannel up/down) will likely require a quick press whenlearning. If after learning say the channel up key, you findthat it changes multiple channels when pressed once, tryrelearning it with a short key press.i. If learning the first or second keys results in continuouserrors then try the following:Learning

2726Learning 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. (SeeTips on Learning on page 24).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 learn thepower command from your TV’s remote,then select Add Key to Macro, and pressthe 3 key and learn the channel 3 keyfrom your TV’s remote. Then the Macrostored under the Power key will turn onthe TV and change the channel tonumber 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 then pressDone when you’re finished. Or you canpress Add Key to Macro, (see below andnext page).Learning 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 learn keysfor. In this example we only have a TV,Cable Box and Satellite Receiver set up,so the rest are grayed out, but you canstill select any of the devices to learncommands for. You are then instructedto line up the remotes, and press the keyon the IR32A remote that you want tolearn.You then point the remote you want tolearn commands from at the bottom ofthe IR32A IconRemote, and press thekey on the IR32A IconRemote that youwant to learn a command under, e.g.,the Power key.

2928Learning Side KeysAt the Home screen press the Side Keynext to Learn.Then press any of the Side Keys K1-K5to the left of the screen.Select the device you want to learn keysfor. In this example we only have a TV,Cable Box and Satellite Receiver set up,so the rest are grayed out, but you canstill select any of the devices to learncommands for. In this case we selectedTV.Some typical “extra” keys are already setup, (depending on the Mode you se-lected), the rest of them are called L6,L7, L8, etc., 27 keys in total. (You canrename them later). Press the Side Keythat you want to learn a command under.(Note can choose one that already has aname, so as to “learn over it” and thenlater rename it). Let’s select L7.Before 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 theIR32A 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.

3130Learning Side Keys, cont.E.g., in this example we pressed the 3key on the remote to enter the letter D.Then we pressed the 8 key repeatedlyuntil the letter V was displayed. Then wewaited a second and pressed 3 to selectD. Then we pressed the 0 (zero) keytwice until we selected a space. Wecontinued this process until we had“DVD Zoom” displayed.Note: “Triple tap” name entry works in a similar fashion to textentry on a cell phone. Tap each numeric key to cycle throughALL caps, numbers, and lower case letters. E.g., repeatedlypressing the number 2 key cycles through A, B, C, 2, a, b, c.Pressing the 9 key cycles through W, X, Y, Z, 9, w, x, y, z. A“space” can be selected with the 0 (zero) key. The number 1key selects 1 . @ ? ! - & : and back to 1. And you canbackspace an entry with the key to the left of the 0 (zero) key.Press OK (or the Enter “E” key) to confirm your new name.Then we pressed OK to save the newlabel for the key we had learned.The next time you set the remote to themode that you learned this key underyou’ll see a screen where you canselect this, and any other functionsyou’ve learned under that mode.Pressing the MODE key and then selecting a device typeshows the “extra” keys and learned keys for that mode. Note,you can learn keys from any kind of remote under any mode.You could for example learn the power keys for your TV, andyour audio system and extra keys for your DVD player underthe DVD mode. Then when you press the MODE key andselect DVD, you’ll be able to turn on your TV, turn on youraudio system, and control your DVD player, all from the SideKeys on this one screen.Next point the remote you want to learncommands from at the bottom of theIR32A IconRemote, and press OK whenyou’re ready. (See Tips on Learning onpage 24.)Next press the key (on the other remote)Learning Side Keys, cont.for the function you want to learn.Hold the key pressed until the screen saysthat the command was successfullylearned. Note for some types of key youmight need to hold the key pressed, but forother types a quick press is sufficient.Experiment a bit. If keys you learn aresent multiple times try learning them withjust a quick press.You can change the label for the key (inthis case L7) and/or add the key to aMacro. (See page 32 for Macros.)If you select Change Label, by pressingSide Key K9, you can change the nameto anything you want. For exampleyou’ll likely want to rename it with thename of the function that you learned.After you select Change Label you seethe screen to the right. You enter thenew name for the key using the numerickeys on the remote, in a similar fashionto typing in text on a cell phone. Seenext page.

3332Line up the remotes and press OK whenyou’re ready.Learning Macros, cont.Press Side Key K8 next to “Add Key toMacro” to add more keys.You can set a delay (1-10 secs) after whichthe command stored in the Macro will besent. (Repeatedly press Side Key K9 nextto Set Delay, or enter the delay directlywith the numeric keys, 0-9).In this case we set a 2 second delay.Next press the key (on the other remote)for the function you want to learn. Holdthe key pressed until the screen says thatthe command was successfully learned.Note for some types of key you mightneed to hold the key pressed, but forother types a quick press is sufficient.Experiment a bit. If keys you learn aresent multiple times try learning them withjust a quick press.A Macro could include the Power key foryour TV, followed by the Power key foryour Cable box, followed (after a 2second delay), by digit 4 from your cableremote. Then when you later activate thisMacro it will turn on your TV, turn onyour cable box, wait 2 seconds, and thenset the cable box to channel 4.At the Home screen press the Side Keynext to Learn.Then press any Side Key K1-K5 to theleft to learn a Macro that you’ll save to aSide Key (and later rename it if desired).Learning Macros (Side Keys)Select the device you want to learn keysfor. In this example we only have a TV,Cable Box and Satellite Receiver set up,so the rest are grayed out, but you canstill select any of the devices to learncommands for. E.g., in this case weselected DVR.Then select the Side Key that you want tostore the Macro under, for example, L3.

4746The IR32A IconRemote used in conjunction with the UX25Areceiver gives you control of Audio and Video components -even if they are in a different room from the remote.Description:The idea on how to do this is shown in the figure below. Followthese basic steps:•Plug the UX25A receiver’s power supply jack into the backof the UX25A and plug the power supply into an AC walloutlet in the room where your TV, VCR, stereo components,etc., are located.•Plug the IR extender cable into the back of the UX25A.•Attach the IR emitters on the cable facing the front of up totwo A/V devices that you want to control.• Point the IR32A in the general direction of the UX25Areceiver and press any button. The UX25A receives the RadioFrequency (RF) signals and sends the IR signals through theemitter to control your IR compatible devices (TV, VCR, CD,etc.).Note: The IR32A IconRemote and the UX25A can be in differentrooms up to 50 feet away from each other. Add more receivers tocontrol A/V equipment in more than one room.Setting Up X10 Devices, cont.Audio and Video CompatibilityX10 Home ControlIf you own or have purchased the Model IR543 CommandCenter, and you have compatible X10 Lamp, Appliance, andWall Switch modules, you will also be able to control lightsand appliances from your IR32A IconRemote. You must setup the remote with the 0999 device code in order for theIR32A to communicate to the IR543 Command Center.When you point the IR32A toward the IR543, it understandsthe IR commands and converts them to PLC signals. Anymodules that match the house and unit code transmitted willeither turn on or off, depending on the signal.To see how to enter a device code, refer to page 42. Set upthe code under AUX mode, but you can choose another modeif you prefer. Then in AUX mode (for example), press anumber button on the IR32A corresponding to the X10Module you want to control. Press CHANNEL + to turn themodule on, CHANNEL – turns it off; VOLUME + to brightenLamp and Wall Switch Modules, and VOLUME – to dimthem.If you own or have purchased the TM751 RF TransceiverModule, your IR32A IconRemote communicates using its RFsignal. The remote transmits the RF signal on a specifichouse code. This signal is received by the transceiver (eitherTM751, RR501, CM15A, or security console) on a matchinghouse code. (See pages 15 through 18 on how to set up theremote and modules.) The transceiver then forwards thesignal onto the house wiring. This is now a PLC signal. Anymodules that match the house and unit code transmitted willeither turn on or off, depending on the signal sent. Camerapower supplies are addressable and act just like lamp orappliance modules.
