Learning Side Keys
At the Home screen press the Side Keys next to Setup, More, and then Learn.
Then press any of the Side Keys
Select the device you want to learn keys for. In this example we only have a TV, Cable Box and Satellite Receiver set up, so the rest are grayed out, but you can still select any of the devices to learn commands for. In this case we select TV.
Some typical “extra” keys are already set up, (depending on the Mode you se- lected), the rest of them are called L6, L7, L8, etc., 27 keys in total. (You can rename them later). Press the Side Key that you want to learn a command under. (Note: You can choose one that already has a name, so as to “learn over it” and then later rename it.) Let’s select L7.

Next, point the remote you want to learn commands from at the bottom of the IR34A IconRemote, and press OK when you’re ready. (See Tips on Learning on page 25.)
Next press the key on the other remote for the function you want to learn. Hold the key pressed until the screen says that the command was successfully learned. Note for some types of keys you might need to hold the key pressed but for other types a quick press is sufficient. Experiment a bit. If keys you learn are sent multiple times try learning them with just a quick press.
You can change the label for the key (in this case L7) and/or add the key to a Macro. (See page 33 for Macros.)
If you select Change Label, by pressing Side Key K9, you can change the name to anything you want. For example, you’ll likely want to rename it with the name of the function that you learned.
After you select Change Label, the screen to the right appears. You enter the new name for the key using the numeric keys on the remote in a similar fashion to typing text using a cell phone. See the following page.
