Learn Commands

Learning Tips

Before transferring commands from your original remote to the RCU900, check out these useful tips on Learning.

1.Make sure you are using fresh batteries in both the RCU900 and the original remote.

2.It is recommended that a Master Clear be done before attempting any Learning. This clears all Learned commands for all device modes. (See section on Master Clear).

3.Point the top of the original remote at the base of the RCU900 so the IR LED on the original remote is in line with the RCU900 Learning sensor, located at the bottom of the remote.

4The remotes should be positioned two to three inches apart.

5.To ensure that your units are compatible and to increase your familiarity with the unit, you may wish to experiment by learning two or three keys initially. Then, carry out a Master Clear before learning all the desired functions from your original remote.

6.Incandescent or low-energy light can cause interference with the IR transmissions. When using the Learning function, keep the remotes at least three feet away from such light sources.

7.When learning a key, do not release the key on your original remote until the LED indicator light remains on, which takes 2-3 seconds.

8.No commands may be learned under the LCD LEARN, MACRO, SCREEN or SETUP keys or the device keys on the rubber keypad (such as TV, VCR, DVD, SAT/CBL, or AUDIO keys).

9.If there is a problem with the Learning process, the LED indicator light flashes for two seconds but still remains in Learning Mode.

10.All Learned keys are saved automatically.

Code Learning

Codes from the Code List include basic functionality for each device they control. Once you have programmed in the library code for your specific device, you can customize the RCU900 touchscreen to include certain functions from your original remote that were not embedded in the preset code.

Your RCU900 has the ability to learn and store commands from your original remotes under the mode of your choice. The RCU900 can store up to 40 key commands for each original remote. Only one original remote can be stored under any one mode (i.e., the RCU900 can learn the commands for one TV remote, one VCR remote, one DVD remote, etc.).

Once you have set your Key Label Options and have taught your RCU900 any additional commands from the original remotes, use the chart on the previous page to enter your customized options for each mode.
