Smart Macro Key Operations

Your RCU900’s Smart Macro feature allows you to execute a sequence of commands with one keypress. A Smart Macro learns any sequence of original remote commands. A total of 20 Learned commands can be stored under each of the nine available LCD MACRO keys. The sequence of commands you want a Smart Macro to execute must be programmed in correct sequential order. Any sequence of commands that you regularly perform can be stored as a Smart Macro and reduced to a single keypress. You cannot program a Macro within a Macro.
