Continuous Control Codes:

Occasionally, one of the buttons on an original remote controller generates a very long com- mand code or continuously generates a shorter command sequence over and over again. (This sometimes happens with “Volume Up” and “Volume Down” commands for example.)

The RR-990 accepts code sequences up to 20 seconds in duration but if you’re continuously pressing a “Volume Up” key on the original re- mote until the RR-990 signals you that it has learned the code completely, you may never see the RR-990’s “OK” indicator come on.

If this happens, simply press the problem key on the original remote once while holding down the RR-990’s corresponding button. This will often produce a much shorter code string that the RR-990 will have no trouble learning.

In a very few cases, you may find that the RR- 990 doesn’t emulate a continuous or “repeated” command from the original remote controller perfectly. Experiment with the learning se- quence by pressing the original remote’s prob- lematic key several times very quickly during the RR-990’s learn cycle. This will generally solve the problem.

Now That Your RR-990 Is Smarter

Once you’ve programmed the RR-990 with com- mands from several original remote controllers, you’ll really begin to appreciate its flexibility.

As you use it, you’ll notice the “OK” indicator flash at the top of the screen whenever you press a pro- grammed button on any Control panel. This is sim- ply the RR-990’s way of telling you that the key you’ve just pressed has been programmed successfully and that the RR-990 is sending out a command to the associated component for execution.

If you press a button and see the “Error” indicator instead, the RR-990’s memory for that particular button is empty. Most likely, you simply forgot to program it while in Learn mode. Just follow the pro- gramming instructions in Here’s How above.

If you see the “BatLow” indicator, replace all four (4)

AAAbatteries as soon as possible. A backup battery will preserve all the command codes you programmed into the RR-990 but you will have to reconstruct any Custom Control Panels afterwards.

NOTE: Always replace all four AAA batteries at the same time. We also suggest that you remove the

AAAbatteries if you’re not going to be using the RR-990 for an extended period (2 months or more).

Deleting Individual Function Commands

Here’s how to delete the command codes for a par- ticular key in a Control Panel:

1)Choose the Control Panel by pressing the ap- propriate Component Selector at the bottom of the LCD touch screen.

2)Press the “Delete” button at the top of the LCD screen for about two (2) seconds to enter Delete mode. (The Delete indicator at the very top of the screen will flash.)

3)Press the corresponding button for the control codes you want to delete. (The Delete indica- tor will go out.)

4)Repeat steps 2 and 3 for every function you wish to delete.

5)You can exit Delete mode at any time by sim- ply pressing the “Delete” button.
