Using Your Harmony Remote 

This section provides you with information that will help you use your remote. 

Using the Glow Button 

Press the 

Glow

 button to light up or turn off the display backlight. To determine the length of time the 

backlight stays on: 

1.  Connect your Harmony remote to your computer to start the Harmony remote software. 

2. Click 

Remote Preferences

3. Click 

Settings

Displaying Help on Your Harmony Remote 

From time to time when you select an Activity, the Activity may not work. This can happen when the 
Harmony remote sends many infrared commands to set up all your devices for an Activity, but one or 
more devices are not receiving some commands. The Harmony remote is then "out of sync" with your 
devices (e.g. it thinks one of your devices is on, but it is turned off). Some of the reasons the Harmony 
remote can become "out of sync" with your system are:  

• 

Someone walks between the Harmony remote and your entertainment system while an Activity is 
starting. 

• 

You point your Harmony remote away from your system while an Activity is starting. 

• 

There is an object blocking the line-of-sight between your Harmony remote and the system. 

• 

You are very far away from your entertainment system. 

You will need to use the 

Help

 button on your Harmony remote to resynchronize the remote with your 

devices. Before resynchronizing, ensure the cause of the problem has been addressed.  

Example 

Remove all obstructions so that the entertainment devices can receive the infrared commands 
from the Harmony remote.
