Controlling your devices individually

In some cases, you may need to control a device individually. You can use the device feature of 
the Harmony 610 to control devices one-by-one. 

When you press the 

Device

 button, the Harmony 610 screen displays a list of your devices. 

Select the device you wish to control by pressing the side LCD button closest to your selection.. 
After you select a device, the Harmony 610 controls only that device. You have access to all the 
commands for the device included in your Harmony 610 configuration.

Once you’ve finished, return to Activities for the optimal control of your entertainment system.

To set the length of time the backlight stays on, follow these steps:

From your Harmony Remote Software:

Select 

1. 

Remote Settings

.

Select 

2. 

Display Settings

.

Setting the backlight timing

Using the Coloured Buttons (Teletext)

If your TV is programmed to send and receive Teletext content, when you press any of 
the Coloured buttons (Teletext), the home page for Coloured buttons will appear on 
the television (it may take a few seconds for the page to appear). The Teletext page will 
completely replace the television picture, but sound will still be available. Each Teletext 
page has a unique 3-digit page number; all pages can be accessed by entering the 3-digit 
page number using the numbered channel buttons on your Harmony remote.

While Teletext is the default setting for these coloured 
buttons in the Watch TV Activity, you can customize these 
buttons to send different commands in other Activities. See 
Adding custom-labeled buttons to an Activity.

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.

Note: Shaking or tilting the Harmony remote will not light up the display backlight. Users 
must press the 

Glow

 button to light up the display backlight. The remote will go into 

Deep 

Sleep

 mode when the remote detects no motion for two hours. The remote will begin 

motion sensing in 

Deep Sleep

 mode, and can be sensitive to movement.
