Remote Control Programming

Using Learning Mode

The CA4-RC includes a learning feature so you can add functions that are unique to your home entertainment devices (i.e., VCR tracking up or down). The following precautions apply.

•The original remote controls must be in working order for learning to work properly.

•Learned keys are mode specific, so each one can store a unique function for each mode.

•Do not use the following keys for learning: Device Keys, SET, Back, or Record.

•Learning capacity is approximately 16 to 25 keys, depending on the code being learned.

•Certain device codes are not learnable including multi-frequency types, some high frequency ones, and other unusual formats.

•For optimum learning, avoid high levels of ambient light such as natural sunlight or energy-efficient fluorescent lights.

•Have the original remote controls handy.

•If more than 15 seconds pass between key presses, the remote exits programming.

Programming a learned key

1.Press and hold SET until LED flashes twice.

2.Press 9-7-5.

3.Press a source key once to assign a mode for learning.

4.Place the CA4-RC head-to-head (about 2” apart) from your original remote control. Also locate the key (on original remote control) that will serve as the teaching function.

5.On the CA4-RC, press a key where the learned function will be stored.

6.On the original remote, press and hold the key to be learned. The CA4-RC LED will turn off. Continue holding the key on the original remote until the CA4-RC LED blinks twice. Note: If the LED displays one long blink, a learning error has occurred. Try repeating this step again until a successful capture occurs. If the function is still not captured, press and hold SET to exit programming. Review the learning precautions listed above, or the Troubleshooting tips, before beginning again at step 1.

7.Repeat steps 4 to 6 for another key on same device, or repeat steps 1 to 6 for another device.

Deleting a single learning key

1.Press and hold SET until the LED flashes twice.

2.Press SET, then 9-7-6 to delete a learned function.

3.Press the source key once.

4.Press the key (twice) containing the learned function to be deleted. The remote blinks twice.

5.Repeat steps 2 to 4 for another key on the same source, or press and hold SET to exit programming.

Deleting all learned keys in a specific mode

1.Press and hold SET until the LED blinks twice.

2.Press 9-7-6.

3.Press a source key twice to delete all the learned keys for that source. The LED blinks twice.

4.Repeat step 3 for another key for a device, or press and hold SET to exit programming.

Troubleshooting

Problem: LED blinks when you repress a key, but device does not respond. Solution: Make sure the remote is aimed at your device or system keypad and is not more than 15 feet away.

Problem: LED blinks one long blink.

Solution: An entry error has occurred (i.e., wrong key). Try entry sequence again.

Problem: Remote does not control devices or commands are not working properly. Solution: Try all listed codes for the device. Make sure the device operates with an infrared remote control.

Problem: Channels do not change properly.

Solution: If the original remote control required you to press ENTER to change channels., press enter on this remote after entering the channel number.

Problem: LED does not blink when you press a key. Solution: Replace battery with two new AA batteries.
