the CR102

Code Learning

The CR102 comes with a complete library of preprogrammed codes. After you have set up the CR102 for your device, you may find that there are one or more functions on your original remote which do not have a place on the CR102 keypad. For convenience, the CR102 offers a Code Learning feature that allows you to copy up to 16 functions from an original remote control onto the CR102 keypad.

Before you start, make sure that:

<The original remote control is working correctly.

<The remotes are not pointing at your device.

<The remotes have new batteries.

<The remotes are not in direct sunlight or under strong fluorescent lights.

Learned functions are mode-dependent: You could theoretically assign up to eight different functions to a single key (the CR102 can handle a total of 16 learned functions).

Example: To copy the ‘text hold’ function from a TV remote onto the (key of your

CR102

1.Place both remotes on a flat surface, 2 to 5cm apart, with the IR ports facing each other.

2.On the CR102, press and hold Suntil the power LED blinks twice: * *.

3.Press 975. The power LED blinks twice: * *.

4.On the CR102, press the device key that matches the ‘source’ device (e.g. if you’re learning a TV function, press a).

5.On the CR102, press the key to which you want to assign the learned function (e.g. (). The device key blinks rapidly.

6.On the original remote, press and hold the function key that you want to learn (e.g. Text Hold) until the CR102 device key blinks twice: * *.

7.If you want to learn other functions from the same source device, simply repeat steps 5 and 6 pressing the next key you want to learn.

8.To exit Code Learning mode, press and hold S until the device key blinks twice: **.

9.To use the learned function on the CR102, press the Device Mode key, followed by the function key.

In this example, you’d press afollowed by (

Shifted Learning

You can assign a learned function to a CR102 key without sacrificing its original function.

You can assign Shifted Learning functions to any key except for: Device Mode keys (e.g. a), S, or number keys (0to 9).

1.To assign a Shifted Learning function, simply follow Code Learning steps in the previous section. During step 5, press Sonce before you press the key to which you want to assign the learned function.

2.To access the shifted function, press Sand then the target key.

Important notes

<Once you start a Code Learning session, you have approximately 10 seconds to conduct each step. Any longer, and a timeout means that you’ll have to start the process again.

<The Learning feature is mode-specific – you can copy one feature per mode onto a key.

<The CR102 can learn approximately 16 functions in total.

<To replace a learned function, simply assign a new one to the same key.

<Learned functions are retained when you change batteries.

<If Code Learning fails, try altering the distance between the two remotes; make sure that the light in the area is not too bright.

To delete a learned function

1.Press and hold Suntil the power LED blinks twice:

**.

2.Press 976. The power LED blinks twice: .

3.Press a Device Mode key once. For example, if you want to delete one of your learned TV functions, press a.

4.Press twice on the key you want to deassign. The handset blinks twice: **to confirm.

The original function of the CR102 is restored.

To delete a Shifted Learned function:

To delete a Shifted Learned function, press Sbefore you press the key to be deassigned (during step 4 above).

To delete ALL learned functions within a given Device Mode

1.Press and hold Suntil the power LED blinks twice:

* *.

2.Press 976– the power LED blinks twice: * *.

3.Press the appropriate Device Mode key twice.
