Learning
Tips On Learning
a.Some functions from some types of remotes might not be able to be learned.
b.No functions may be learned under the HOME, MODE, FAVORITE, HIS, or HERS (hard) keys.
c.Use fresh batteries for both the IR10A remote and your Original Remote.
d.Keep at least three feet away from incandescent or low- energy lights when learning.
e.Place the original remote
f.Keep the distance between the two remotes to approximately 1 inch.
g.Line up the remotes and then press the key you want to learn. To get the correct range, press the key on the remote you are learning and you will see a “red halo” around the transmit icon at the bottom left of the screen starts to flicker. The best range for learning is when it flickers most rapidly. Move the position of the 2 remotes to achieve this. Do not change this “best distance” between the two remotes until you have learned all the required keys.
h.When Learning, you should normally not release the key being learned until the display prompts you to do so. However, some keys might be learned multiple times if you do this. If this happens just “tap” the key you want to learn, rather than press and hold it. For example, keys that you normally hold down for a while (like volume up or down) will likely require a long press when learning. Keys that you normally give a quick press (like the numbers, and channel up/down) will likely require a quick press when learning. If after learning say the channel up key, you find that it changes multiple channels when pressed once, try relearning it with a short keypress.
i.If learning the first or second keys results in continuous errors then try the following:
1.Check the IR transmitters/sensors are correctly aligned between the two remotes.

2.Adjust the distance between the two remotes to be closer (e.g. half an inch) or a further away (e.g. 2 inches) from each other.
3.Try learning the original remote keys again.
4.If problems reoccur with the same key, check the original remote key being learned – does it transmit? Does it operate the target device?
You can learn commands from an existing remote and store them under the “Main” keys on the IR10A remote, or learn commands from an existing remote and store them under any of the 10 Side Keys.
At the Home screen press the Side Key next to Learn.
At this screen you press any of the 5 Side Keys
If you press a right Side Key (to select Main Keys) you are going to learn, say, the Chan Up key from an existing remote and store it under the Chan Up key on the IR10A remote. Or learn the Power key from an existing remote and store it under the Power key on the IR10A remote, etc.
If you press a left Side Key (to select Side Keys) you are going to learn, say, the “DVD Zoom” function from an existing remote and store it under a Side Key on the IR10A remote. You will then be able to name the key “DVD Zoom” and access this “DVD Zoom” function from the Mode screen when the remote is in the mode that you selected when you learned this “DVD Zoom” command.
