Learning Side Keys, cont.
Next point the remote you want to learn commands from at the bottom of the IR10A remote, and press OK when you’re ready. (See Tips on Learning on page 16). Next press the key (on the other remote)
for the function you want to learn. Hold the key pressed until the screen says that the command was successfully learned. Note for some types of key you might need to hold the key pressed, but for other types a quick press is sufficient. Experi- ment a bit. If keys you learn are sent multiple times try learning them with just a quick press.
You can change the label for the key (in
this case L7) and/or add the key to a Macro (see page 24 for Macros).
If you select Change Label, by pressing Side Key K9, you can change the name to anything you want. For example you’ll likely want to rename it with the name of the function that you learned. After you select Change Label you see
the screen to the right. You enter the new name for the key using the numeric keys on the remote, in a similar fashion to typing in text on a cell phone. See next page.
E.G. in this example we pressed the 3

key on the remote to enter the letter D. Then we pressed the 8 key repeatedly until the letter V was displayed. Then we waited a second and pressed 3 to select D. Then we pressed the 0 (zero) key twice until we selected a space. We continued this process until we had “DVD Zoom” displayed.
Then we pressed OK to save the new
label for the key we had learned.
The next time you set the remote to the mode that you learned this key under you’ll see a screen where you can select this, and any other functions you’ve learned under that mode.
Pressing the MODE key and then
selecting a device type shows the “extra” keys and learned keys for that mode. Note, you can learn keys from any kind of remote under any mode. You could for example learn the power keys for your TV, and your audio system and extra keys for your DVD player under the DVD mode. Then when you press the MODE key and select DVD, you’ll be able to turn on your TV, turn on your audio system, and control your DVD player, all from the Side Keys on this one screen.
Note: “Triple tap” name entry works in a similar fashion to text entry on a cell phone. Tap each numeric key to cycle through ALL caps, numbers, and lower case letters. E.G., repeatedly pressing the number 2 key cycles through A, B, C, 2, a, b, c. Pressing the 9 key cycles through W, X, Y, Z, 9, w, x, y, z. A “space” can be selected with the 0 (zero) key. The number 1 key selects 1 . @ ? ! - & : and back to 1. And you can backspace an entry with the key to the left of the 0 (zero) key. Press OK (or the Enter “E” key) to confirm your new name.
