Testing the Distance
The distance between the remote control unit and the transmitting unit must be
correct, in order to obtain good results when recording IR codes. This distance
differs from one remote control unit to another, and thus you should check the
distance before recording new IR codes from the remote control unit. Direct the
remote control unit at the transmitting unit, exactly as is shown in the figure.
Determine the correct distance during recording by the following
procedure:
Settings  Pages/buttons  Select page  browse among the pages 
Select this page  Edit button  Select a button  Function  Send IR 
Record IR  Test distance
When you have selected “Test distance” proceed as
follows:
Press and hold down any button on the remote control
unit while moving the remote control unit to the left until
”No signal” is displayed on the screen. Then move the
remote control unit to the right until “No signal” is
displayed on the screen. The best position is then
located between these positions.
Now move the remote control unit backwards until “No
signal” is displayed on the screen (around 1 metre for
certain units). The best position is then
between the
transmitting unit and the most distant position.
Note! Certain types of remote control units send only instantaneously when a
button is pressed. In this case, you must press the button many times, rather
than pressing it and holding it down.
