Teaching Remote Control Signals to your ECO2.

In the REMOTES Activity you will find pre-stored Pages with icons and commands that

represent your remote control signals. For all appliances except the phones, the IR car and the X10, you will have to teach your ECO the signals you want it to use. The phones, IR car and X- 10 already have their signals stored in your device.

Before you begin to store any signals, make sure the remote control you are going to use is at hand. During the signal storing process, your device will tell you to aim your remote control at the IR window and then to tap the button on the remote that will send the signal you want your device to learn.

To store signals you will use the IR SETUP MENU in the Toolbox. When you store signals using this menu, they are automatically stored on the correct REMOTES Activity page for later use. Remember, the IR window is on the back top of your device. Hold the remote control 6-8" away from the left corner of the IR window. Point the infrared area of the remote at your device's IR window and press the function button on the remote, for example, "Power". You will hear a small beep when the device accepts the signal.

 Important! When you have finished storing all the remote control signals that you want to use, we highly recommend that you perform a memory transfer and save your device's memory to a USB flash drive or the internal hard drive. Should your device ever lose its memory, all your remote control signals will be lost and you will have to reprogram everything. Use the "Save Entire Device" option, not the "Save One Area" option. The signals will not be saved unless you select Save Entire Device.

Teach remote control signals for the devices that are in your REMOTES Activity.

1. Go to the Toolbox and open the IR SETUP MENU.  This is the IR Set Up Key in the Toolbox.

2. Activate the arrow keys in the Device box to select the device whose signals you want to teach, e.g., TV.

This is a picture of the IR Set up Menu.

3. When the name of the device you want is in the yellow Device box, activate the Modify Selected Device key.

4. Activate the arrow keys for the Function box to select the function that you want your device to learn, e.g., "VOLUME UP".

This is a picture of the IR Learning Screen.

5. Get your remote control ready. Know which button you want to press on the remote. Hold the remote infrared window 6-8" away from your device's IR window.

6. On your device, activate the Re-learn Selected Signal key.

7. Press the function key on the remote control, e.g., the "VOLUME UP" key.

8. If you are near the appliance you want to be controlled, you can test the signal. Point your device's IR window toward the device you are testing (e.g., the TV) and activate the Test Signal key in the menu.

9. Repeat steps 4-8 for each function you want your device to learn.
