Programming the Remote

Additional Notes on Configuring and Operating the Remote:

•When the remote is being programmed, it will automatically time-out if no button is pressed within a thirty-second period. The message shown in Figure 77 will appear briefly, and the remote will then exit the feature being pro- grammed and any data entered will be lost.

•The programming or configuration process may also be stopped at any time by pressing the

Clear Button . The message shown in Figure 77 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 re-started.

•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 pro- grammed 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 BAT- TERY warning as shown in Figure 78. We strongly recommend replacing the batteries as soon as this message appears to avoid the loss of programming and configuration 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 Q. 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 extend- ed 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 approximately five seconds after the Light Button Qis 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 con- serve 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.
