3.Press the Set Button q to reset the remote. Note that once the Set Button is pressed the process may not be stopped. While the remote’s memory is being cleared, a RESETTING...

message will appear in the upper line of the remote’s LCD screen as shown in Figure 77. It may take a few minutes for the reset process to take place, and the length of time will vary depending on how much customization and pro- gramming has taken place. Please be patient; as long as the message appears in the display the remote is functioning properly.

Additional Notes on Configuring and Operating the Remote

•When the remote is being programmed, it will auto- matically time-out if no button is pressed within a thirty-second period. The message shown in Figure 80 will appear briefly, and the remote will then exit the feature being programmed and any data entered will be lost.

•The programming or configuration process may also be stopped at any time by pressing the Clear Button 9. The message shown in Figure 79 will appear, the data entered in the current process will be lost and the remote will return to normal operation. Any process that was underway when the button will be pressed must be restarted.

•Extensive use of the programming, learning and configuration functions of the remote may consume significantly more battery power than normal remote operation. While the batteries should last for four to six months in normal operation, you may find that they need to be changed sooner after the remote is programmed for the first time.

•When the batteries approach a level below which the remote will not function, the remote’s LCD screen will display a LOW BATTERY warning as shown in Figure 80. We strongly recommend replacing the batteries as soon as this message appears to avoid the loss of programming and con- figuration settings. These settings are not lost when the batteries are changed quickly.

•The remote has a built-in backlight that may be activated by pressing the Light Button P. This button is made from a special “glow” material so that it is easier to find in dark rooms. This glow feature does not consume any electricity, but the glow will fade when the remote is kept in a dark location for an extended period of time. The “glow” feature may be restored by placing the remote in normal room light for a few hours.

•The remote’s backlight will remain lit for approxi- mately five seconds after the Light Button P is pressed, and it will stay lit for another five seconds if any key is pressed while the backlight is on. You may keep the backlight lit by holding the Light Button, but extensive use of the backlight will reduce battery life.

•The LCD display will remain on for ten seconds after a key is pressed and then turn off to conserve battery life.

•When any button is held for more than thirty seconds, the LCD will turn off and the remote will stop transmitting the codes to conserve battery life.
