READY and VERIFY LEDs light. The LED will not light if P4 mode is active.

same key on the HC device again to verify the IR function was captured correctly by the IRIS unit. If
the HC function is captured correctly, a pair of [ ] (brackets) will briefly flash in the display. The
VERIFY LED goes off, 01 appears in the display, and the SEND pushbutton's LED lights. If an Er
message appears in the display, repeat steps 3 and 5. Otherwise, go to step 6.

the current device library.
Refer to the IREdit instruction manual for information on to storing captured HC functions.
Importing IR HEX File Codes
Alternatively, IR Libraries can be created by importing IR HEX file codes.
1. In the Edit Options window of the AMX Library Files dialog, click Import Hex File to access the Hex
data import and conversion options (FIG.53).
2. Enter the name of the function that you want to import, in the Enter Function text field.
AMX does not provide HEX codes, and therefore, cannot give any assurance that
data provided by others is accurate or functional. There are a number of web sites
that make IR HEX codes freely available. One such site is Remote Central, where
you can search for your specific device and look for downloads with "text files with
HEX codes".
