Programming the Remote
lower line of the LCD. When the desired device

.
Figure 70
5. At the next menu screen you will select the
first button within the device to be renamed,
as instructed in the display shown in Figure
71. Select the button by simply pressing it on
the remote.
Figure 71
6. Depending on whether or not the button
pressed already has a named function within
the device selected, one of two things will
happen.
a. If the button to be renamed already has a
pre-programmed, or previously renamed
title in the remote’s memory, you will see
that name on the top line of the LCD dis-
play, and a blinking block cursor will appear
on the far left side of the bottom line of the
display, as shown in Figure 72.
b. If the button to be renamed does not have a
function in the device selected, the top line
of the LCD screen will be blank, and a blink-
ing block cursor will appear on the far left
side of the bottom line of the display, as
shown in Figure 73.

7. To enter the new name for the key, press the
Numeric Keys
H
. The letters above the
numbered buttons indicate which letters or
symbols will appear when the button is
pressed during the renaming process. The first
press of the button will enter the first charac-
ter shown, subsequent presses of the same
button will change the display to the other let-
ters above that numbered key. For example,
since the first letter we need to rename the
Tone button to Zoom is a “Z,” so you would
locate the “Z” above the “9” button, and
press the button four times. The first press
shows a “W,” the subsequent presses step
through the other letters available until the
“Z” appears. Consult the table on this page to
see which characters are available by pressing
a particular button.
8. After you enter the first letter of the new
device name, there are three options for
entering the next character:
a. To enter a letter that requires a different
numeric key to be pressed, simply press that
button. The cursor will automatically move
to the next position and the first letter
accessed by the new button will appear.
Following our example, the next letter need-
ed is an “O,” so you would press the “6”
button once.
b. To enter a letter that uses the same numeric
key, you must first press the
›
Navigation
Buttons
E
to move the blinking cursor
block to the next position. Then press the
Numeric Key
H
as required to enter the
desired letter. This is the way you would
enter the second “O” in the word ZOOM,
and again for the letter “M.”
c. To enter a blank space, press the
›
Navigation Buttons
E
twice. The first
press will move the cursor to the right, and
the second press will move the cursor one
more space to the right, leaving a blank
space between the last letter and the next
one.
9. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 as needed to complete
entering the needed letters, numbers, charac-
ters and spaces.
10. When the text entry is complete, press the
Set Button
F
. The new name will be
entered into the remote’s memory, replacing
the default name.
11. At this point you have two options:
a. If you wish to program an additional key
within the same device, press the
Set
Button
F
as instructed by the bottom
line of the LCD display reading
ANOTHER
KEY
. The remote will return to the
SELECT
A KEY
menu option as shown in Step 6.
Repeat the instructions in Steps 6 though
11 to rename the next key.
b. If you have no additional keys to rename,
press the
⁄
Navigation Buttons
E
once so that the menu screen displays
EXIT
on the bottom line of the display. Press the
Set Button
F
to return the remote to
normal operation.
Notes on Renaming Keys:
• Renaming a key does not change its function.
You may change the function of an individual
key by learning a new code into the remote.
See page 34 for more information.
• When a key is renamed it will only apply to the
specific device selected in Step 4. The same key
may be renamed as needed for each individual
device with which it is used.
Resetting the Remote
Depending on the way in which the remote has
been programmed, there may be a situation
where you wish to totally erase all changes that
have been made to the remote and return it to
the factory defaults. You may do that by follow-
ing the steps shown below, but remember that
once the remote is reset, ALL changes that have
been made, including programming for use with
other devices, learned keys, macros, punch-
through settings and key names, will be erased
and any settings you had previously made will
have to be reentered.
To erase all settings and reset the remote to the
original factory default settings and displays, fol-
low these steps:
1. Press and hold the
Program Button
&
for
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 15 appears in the remote’s
LCD
Information Display
2
. Release the but-
ton when the red light under the
Set Button
F
appears.
2. The remote’s
MAIN MENU
message (Figure
16), will appear in the LCD display and the
Set Button
F
will remain illuminated in
red. Press the
⁄¤
Navigation Buttons
E
until
USER RESET
appears on the bottom
line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 74.
Figure 74
3. Press the
Set Button
F
to reset the
remote. Note that once the Set Button is
pressed the process may not be stopped. While
the remote’s memory is being cleared a
RESETTING...
message will appear in the
upper line of the remote’s LCD screen as
shown in Figure 75.
It may take a few minutes for the reset process
to take place, and the length of time will vary
depending on how much customization and
programming has taken place. Please be
patient; as long as the message appears in the
display the remote is functioning properly.
Figure 75
4. When the remote has been totally reset and
returned to the factory default condition, a
REMOTE RESET COMPLETE
message will
appear (Figure 76) briefly, and then the remote
will return to normal operation.
