Learning Tips
Start with the remote control about an inch apart from the keypad. Vary the learning
distance from one inch to as much as four feet if the code doesn’t test correctly. Make
sure the remote is pointed at the red lens of the CK 2.2’s IR sensor.
Fresh Batteries in the Original Remote Control -
Weak batteries will cause CK 2.2
Editor to fail to correctly learn. Note that EVEN if the original remote still operates the
component, the batteries can be too weak to produce a strong enough carrier for any
learning keypad to detect!!!! When you have learning problems, replace the batteries
FIRST!
Tap instead of Pressing and Holding -
With normal short burst codes (buttons the
user would simply tap, rather than press and hold), this will produce better results.
Normally, you should press and hold.
The “Flutter” Technique -
If you are having problems with a “Press and Hold” Code
(like volume up or down a button the user would press and hold), sometimes fluttering
the button while in learn mode will work.
The “Semaphore” Technique -
Typically only used when you are trying to isolate one
command from a remote with a pre-programmed macro. Use a book or another opaque
object in between the two remotes. Press the button on the original remote, then remove
the obstruction for a moment, and then put it back. Experiment with different timings.
