Operation

USING THE HTR L53 REMOTE CONTROL

EXECUTING MACROS

To execute a macro, press and release “MACRO”; its button illumination lights for 5 seconds. While it remains lit, press an HTR L53 button to which a macro has previously been stored. The corresponding macro will run; as each step executes, its “parent” Device Selector’s button flashes lights briefly; when execution is finished, the “MACRO” button illumination goes out. Pressing any other HTR L53 button while a macro is executing will abort the macro. Remember that you must hold the HTR L53 so that its infrared emitter can activate the target components.

NOTE

When a macro executes, a 1 second delay is automatically inserted between its commands. If you need more than a 1 second delay between particular commands-for example, to permit a component to power up completely-you can record “empty” steps into the macro by changing Device Selector “pages” without entering actual command functions.

BUTTON-ILLUMINATION TIMEOUT

The HTR L53’s button-illumination can be set to remain lit for 0-9 seconds. The default value is 5 seconds.

To set the illumination timeout, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the HTR L53’s “DISP” and the “0-9” button, with the digit corresponding to the desired timeout duration; the Learn LED will flash twice to confirm the new setting. When set to zero, the illumination will not turn on at all.

NOTE

Button illumination is the biggest drain on the HTR L53’s batteries. A short button-illumination timeout will extend battery life appreciably; turning it off altogether (set it to 0 seconds) will lengthen it still further.

FACTORY RESET

The HTR L53 can be reset to its factory state, deleting all learned commands, copied and punched- through buttons, macros, and other setup information, reverting all buttons to their pre-programmed library commands. To perform a factory reset simultaneously press-and-hold for 10 seconds the HTR L53’s “ON” and “RTN” buttons; the Learn LED will start to flash green. Release “ON” and “RTN” before the second flash is complete; the Learn LED will turn red, indicate the remote has been reset.

NOTE

You must release “ON” and “RTN” before the second flash goes out, otherwise the unit will not reset; should this occur, repeat the full procedure.
