Getting started
Useful information
When reading this manual keep
the following information in mind,
as it will help you understand the
operation of the CR100.
backlight
< A blue backlight comes on for
five seconds whenever a key
is pressed. This helps you use
the handset in subdued lighting
conditions.
Power LEd ‘blinks’
< Short blinks indicate a valid key
press.
< Multiple short blinks convey
information (such as a device
code) or signal the beginning
and successful completion of a
programming sequence.
< Long blinks indicate an invalid
key press or entry.
< The symbol
is used in the
manual to indicate a Power LED
blink.
Timeouts and unassigned keys
< Time Out – After 10 seconds the
CR100 exits the programming
state and returns to normal
operation.
< Stuck Key Timeout – After any
key is pressed continuously for
30 seconds, the CR100 stops
sending IR transmission to
conserve battery life. The CR100
remains off until all keys are
released.
< Unassigned Keys – The CR100
control ignores any unassigned
key presses for a particular mode
and does not transmit IR.
