LEARNING IR COMMANDS (XIR2)
An IR Learning Eye is located on the front panel of the SPLCD and is accessible when the Bezel is removed
(Please see
Figures 2a-2c
Item #5).
Note:
Commands learned through the SPLCD’s front panel learning eye (XIR2 method) are NOT
backwards compatible to other Xantech devices (i.e. MRC44/88, URC-2 etc…). This means, palettes
created in Dragon Drop-IR SPLCD cannot be copied to previous versions of Dragon Drop-IR software.
Palettes
created in earlier version of Dragon Drop-IR software (XIR1 method) CAN be copied into the
SPLCD software. (i.e. palettes created in DragMRC, Frag450 or Drag460 software CAN be copied and
used in Dragon Drop-IR SPLCD software).
Note:
When learning IR commands through the front panel learning-eye, it is suggested that the
environment
be free of any IR interference. This could include Fluorescent or Halogen lighting, sunlight, Plasma or LCD
displays and interference from PC Monitor display.

An IR Strength Indicator LED is also located on the front panel (
Figures 2a-2c
Item #6) to let the user know
where the optimal position of the teaching remote should be. Before proceeding, please take the proposed
teaching
remote and keeping it approximately 1-2 inches from the IR Learning Eye, press any button on the
remote and look at the brightness of the LED (
Figure #2a-2c
Item #6). Move the Remote slowly up and down
past the learning eye and find the location where the LED is at its brightest. This will be the location to be used
when recording IR commands.
