To Program A Macro

When programmed and utilized, a Macro key will cause a series of events to occur. A total number of 20 keystrokes can be stored under each of the 9 available Macro keys. One press of the Macro key then “plays back” the sequence of commands stored under the Macro key.

NOTE: A shortcut to Macro Setup routines is available by pressing and holding the MACRO key

(to the left under the LCD). Additionally, when in Setup Primary Screens, pressing the MACRO key jumps to the “Setup a Macro?” routine.

1. Press and hold the SETUP key until the LCD displays “Code SetupÉ.Mode?” and the LED remains on. Release the SETUP key.

2. Press the MACRO key, and “Setup a Macro” appears in the LCD.

3. Press and release OK on the LCD, then the display shows “Macro Key?” You can choose which key you would like to store the Macro under (1-9).

4. Press and release the key under which you want to store a Macro (1-9 available). The display shows “Macro X KeyYY?” where X is 1-9 (depending on which Macro key you press) and YY is the key being stored (initially at 01 and increasing to 20 as you store keys in the Macro).

5. The first key press must be a device key, which is highlighted on the LCD. Once the first device key is pressed you can allow your macro set to operate other devices as long as you do not exceed 20 keystrokes.

6.Once you have selected your device key, the LCD screen shows the key labels for that device. Press and release the keys you want to store in the macro in the exact order you want them to be transmitted.

7.To save the settings, (the series of keystrokes you just recorded) press and release the SETUP key. The LCD

displays “PressDigit For Delay?”.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

It may be necessary to have “delays” included between each Macro key sequence (e.g. To let your TV warm up). If the OK key is pressed, there is an automatic delay of 0.5 seconds between each IR transmission in the sequence. To increase the delay between each key stroke press the numbers (1-9). Maximum delay is 9 seconds.

NOTE: • When you activate a Macro, the LCD bottom line shows which Macro you activated (1-9).

• If you program the maximum number of 20 keys allowable, the Macro will automatically be stored on the last keypress and the LCD will display “Setup a Macro?”.

8.Press and release the OK key to exit.

9.Press EXIT on the LCD. Macro key programming now completed.
