• The placement of the IR transmitter in the Source Remote may make it difficult to correctly align the
two Remotes.
• Source Remotes that contain a beam-focusing lens may require more than one attempt at
successful alignment.
• The learning process should be conducted in an area where there is a low level of IR emission. High
levels of natural light or fluorescent lighting could interfere with a learning event.
• The maximum carrier frequency is 135 kHz.
Teaching a Key
To initiate the learning operation, follow these steps:
1. Point the Source Remote and AVM 2 Remote at each other (to be ready for step 5).
2. Press and hold LEARN until the LED flashes twice.
One long blink indicates low battery or faulty memory. The Remote will not go into learn mode if either
of these conditions exist.
3. Press 9, 7, 5, then the desired Zone/Path/Component key .
To place the command in Layer-1, follow step 4a. To place the command in Layer-2, follow step 4b:
4a. Press the key to be taught . Proceed to step 5.
4b. Press LEARN (don’t hold), then press the key to be taught .
5. The LED flashes rapidly. Within 4 seconds, press and hold the teaching key on the Source Remote
until the LED flashes twice. The LED will go out while it receives a signal from the Source Remote.
One long blink appearing during this step indicates a learning failure, which could mean:
• Bad Capture (try again).
• Memory Full (delete another command).
• Unlearnable Code.
6. Repeat steps 4a or 4b and 5 as often as desired (up to the maximum limit of memory or 24 keys).
7. Wait 10 seconds to exit the learning mode automatically.
Deleting a Learned Command from a Key
To delete a learned command on one key, you can either overwrite it with a new code on the same key, or
use the following delete sequence:
1. Press and hold LEARN until the LED flashes twice.
2. Press 9, 7, 6, the Zone/Path/Component key, the key to be deleted, the key to be deleted again.
To erase all learned commands in all Zone/Path/Component keys, press and hold LEARN until the LED flashes
twice and then press 9, 8, 0 .
6.8 TEACHING THE AVM 2 REMOTE CONTROL TO TOUCHPAD REMOTES
Some keys on the AVM 2 Remote, such as VOL+ , VOL , and Setup Menu (SUB/LFE), have press and hold
commands as well as regular press and release commands. The ‘press and hold’ command of a key is
exactly the same as the ‘press and release’ command of that key, repeated as long as the key is held. You
must program your aftermarket Touchpad to
loop or repeat a ‘press and release’ command to turn it into a
‘press and hold’ command. The methods of doing this vary with the model – contact the touchpad
manufacturer for more information.
