Setting Up Infrared (IR) for Remote Controls
IR capability is enabled automatically with the Accent. The IR area of your device is on the back
of the case on each side of the headphone jack, near the top. When you are facing the front of
the device, the IR Learning Receiver is on the top left and the IR Transmitter is on the top right
of the IR area.
You can teach infrared signals for almost any appliance you own that has a remote control. If
you want to teach a remote control signal to your device, point your remote control at the IR
area.
If you want to send an IR signal from your device, make sure the IR area is facing in the general
direction of the appliance you want to send the signal to.
Use the IR Setup Menu in the NuVoice Toolbox to teach remote signals to your Accent. The
following IR functions can be performed in NuVoice by using

•
