Learning, cont.
You can learn commands from an existing
remote and store them under the “Main”
keys on the IR27A IconRemote, or learn
commands from an existing remote and
store them under any of the 10 Side Keys.
At the Home screen press the Side Key
next to Learn.
At this screen you press any of the 5
Side Keys K1-K5 on the left to learn
commands under a Side Key, or press
any of the top 4 Side Keys K6-K9 on the
right to learn commands under the main
keys on the remote.
If you press a
right
Side Key (to select Main Keys) you are
going to learn, say, the Chan Up key from an existing remote
and store it under the Chan Up key on the IR27A IconRemote.
Or learn the Power key from an existing remote and store it
under the Power key on the IR27A IconRemote, etc.
If you press a
left
Side Key (to select Side Keys) you are going
to learn, say, the “DVD Zoom” function from an existing
remote and store it under a Side Key on the IR27A
IconRemote. You will then be able to name the key “DVD
Zoom” and access this “DVD Zoom” function from the Mode
screen when the remote is in the mode that you selected when
you learned this “DVD Zoom” command.
• Check the IR transmitters/sensors are correctly aligned
between the two remotes.
• Adjust the distance between the two remotes to be closer
(e.g. half an inch) or a further away (e.g., 2 inches) from
each other.
• Try learning the original remote keys again.
• If problems reoccur with the same key, check the original
remote key being learned – does it transmit? Does it
operate the target device?
Tips On Learning
a. Some functions from some types of remotes might not
be able to be learned.
b. No functions may be learned under the HOME, MODE,
FAVORITE, HIS, or HERS (hard) keys.
c. Use fresh batteries for both the IR27A remote and your
Original Remote.
d.
Keep at least three feet away from incandescent or low-
energy lights when learning.
e.
Place the original remote end-to-end with the IR27A
remote so the IR transmitter (at the top) on your original
remote points at the IR learning device on the bottom of the
IR27A IconRemote.
f.
Keep the distance between the two remotes to
approximately 1 inch.
g.
Line up the remotes and then press the key you want to
learn. To get the correct range, press the key on the remote
you are learning and you will see a “red halo” around the
transmit icon at the bottom left of the screen starts to
flicker. The best range for learning is when it flickers most
rapidly. Move the position of the 2 remotes to achieve this.
Do not change this “best distance” between the two
remotes until you have learned all the required keys.
h.
When Learning, you should normally not release the key
being learned until the display prompts you to do so.
However, some keys might be learned multiple times if you
do this. If this happens just “tap” the key you want to learn,
rather than press and hold it. For example, keys that you
normally hold down for a while (like volume up or down)
will likely require a long press when learning. Keys that
you normally give a quick press (like the numbers, and
channel up/down) will likely require a quick press when
learning. If after learning say the channel up key, you find
that it changes multiple channels when pressed once, try
relearning it with a short key press.

If learning the first or second keys results in continuous
errors then try the following:
