advanced Features setup
controlling other devices
In order to control other devices with your Motorola
TV Easy Find Remote Control, you need to tell
the remote control what types of devices you have.
Sections A and B take you through the steps needed to
do this. The volume controls will control your Set-top
Box until the TV device mode is programmed. The
channel controls will always control your Set-top Box.
If you want to change this, you should follow the steps
in Sections E & F.
programming the remote to
control other devices
To use your Motorola TV Easy Find Remote Control
for your other devices, you will need to set up the
TV, DVD and AUX mode keys to control the devices
(Section A). Please refer to the code list for a list of
supported brands and models.
If you do not find the brand of your device on the
supported code list, please refer to section B for
the search function or you may use section C for
instructions on the learning feature of your remote
control.
If you have an integrated or combination unit such as a
TV/DVD, each component of the unit may need to be
set up separately by setting up both the TV and DVD
mode keys.
Note: The DVD and AUX mode keys can be set up
with any code. The TV mode key can only be set up
with TV codes.
a. manual programming
Use the following steps to set up the TV, DVD or AUX
mode keys:
1.
Power on the device you want to program and locate
the 4-digit code from the code list.
2.
Press and hold the mode key (TV, DVD or AUX)
and, while holding it pressed, press the OK key for
1 second.
3.
Release both keys. All of the mode keys will flash,
then the selected mode key light will stay lit.
4.
Enter the 4-digit code by pressing the numerical
keys (0-9). The selected mode key light will blink for
each digit entry and will remain off after the entry of
the fourth digit, indicating a successful setup.
5.
Point the remote control at the selected device and
press the power key once. The device should turn off.
If the device stayed on, repeat the steps 2 through 5,
trying each code for your brand until you find the
correct code.
Repeat above steps to set up another device. To use the
remote control for your Set-top Box, press the STB
mode key.
Note: If an invalid code is entered or no key is pressed
at all for 30 seconds, the mode key light flashes for 3
seconds and turns off. The remote control returns to
normal operation and you will need to start over from
step A2 to set up the device.
B. using the search Function
To search for a particular device code for DVD or
AUX, e.g., VCR, use the Manual Programming for
section A and program DVD or AUX with any VCR
code prior to starting a search.
1.
Turn on the device you want to control and point the
remote at that device.
2.
Press and hold the mode key (TV, DVD or AUX)
and, while holding it pressed, press the OK key for
1 second.
3.
Release both keys. All of the mode keys will flash,
then the selected mode key light will stay lit.
4.
Press the power button repetitively until the selected
device turns off. Once your device has turned off,
press OK to save the code.
5.
To indicate a successful setup, the selected mode
key will turn off and you are ready to set up another
device by following steps 1 through 4 of this section.
c. Learning
If the code for your device is not found in the code
list and the search feature was not able to find the
code for your device, then the learning feature may be
your best option. The learning feature lets you “learn”
functions from your original remote control.
Note: Learning cannot be performed for any mode
until after that mode is set up with a valid code. So,
to learn the keys, first set up the mode with a valid
code (select any code for the appropriate mode from
the code list), then follow the steps in the following
column.
c-1. Learning commands
1.
Press and hold the mode key (TV, DVD or AUX)
on the Motorola remote, and while holding it pressed,
press the LEARN key for 1 second then release both
keys.
2.
All of the mode keys will flash and then the selected
mode key light remains on.
3.
On your Motorola remote, press and release the key
that you want to teach.
4.
While pointing your original remote at the bottom
of your Motorola TV Easy Find Remote Control,
approximately 1 inch apart, press and hold the original
remote key until the mode key light blinks once and
stays on. (If there is a learning problem, the mode key
light blinks for 3 seconds and stays on. If this happens,
repeat steps 3 and 4 above.)
5.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 above for each key you want
your Motorola TV Easy Find Remote Control to learn.
Press and release the LEARN key when all desired
remote commands have been learned. If you have
encountered difficulties with the LEARN key setup,
please refer to Section L: Troubleshooting Learning.
Note: It is not necessary to have your Motorola TV
Easy Find Remote Control learn every key from your

L. troubleshooting Learning
You can only learn one device type under any one
mode key. For example, only learn TV codes under
the TV mode, DVD codes under the DVD mode, etc.
If you are trying to learn from a “Universal” remote,
it might have more than one code type stored under
a mode.
a.
No functions may be stored under the LEARN key
or in the STB mode.
b.
Depending on the remote you are trying to learn,
some keys may not be learnable.
c.
Only one original device type can be learned per
individual mode.
d.
Use fresh batteries for your original remote, and
make sure the batteries in your Motorola TV Easy
Find Remote Control are fully charged.
e.
Stay at least 3 feet away from incandescent or low-
energy lights when learning.
f.
Before learning, clear all learned commands (refer
to Section D-2), then try learning 2 or 3 commands
initially.
g.
Point your original remote at the bottom end of your
Motorola Remote Control so the IR elements on both
remotes are directly in line with each other. You may
need to adjust the height of either remote to achieve
this.
h.
Avoid learning your original remote’s Volume/
Mute keys unless you are sure these operate the same
device.
i.
Avoid learning your original remote’s VCR or DVD
transport keys unless you’re sure these operate the
same device.
j
. If learning the first or second keys for a mode
results in continuous errors, then try the following:
i.
End the learn session by pressing the LEARN
key.
ii
. Clear out the learned commands for that mode.
iii.
Check the IR elements are correctly aligned
between the two remotes.
iv.
Adjust the distance between the two remotes
to be closer, e.g., half an inch, or farther away,
e.g., 2 inches, from each other.
v.
Try learning the original remote for that mode
again. If problems reoccur with the same
key, check the original remote key being learned –
Does it transmit? Does it operate the target
device? Try learning that key under a different
clear mode.
If it learns OK, then it is likely to be a different
code type from the others and cannot be learned
under the same mode.
