6.3. REAL-TIME MACROS
This feature allows you to program a macro on any key. With a macro you can assign a chain
of key strokes to any key on the RCU, also on a mode key. The macros are recorded and
played real-time, which means the actual time between key strokes will also be recorded.
6.3.1. DEFINE A MACRO
1. On the RCU, press the SAT key continuously until the indicator stays on.
2. Release the SAT key and make sure the indicator blinks continuously.
3. Use the numerical keys to enter code 995and note that the indicator stays on.
4. Choose and press the key which you want to assign for the macro. This can be any key,
but after the recording it’s original function is lost.
5. Immediately program the macro as required, after the final key stroke press the SAT key
for three seconds to close the macro. Note that the indicator blinks three times.
6. Now the macro is recorded successfully and ready for use.
6.3.2. PLAY BACK A MACRO
If a macro is recorded under any key, not being a mode key, press the key and the macro
plays back, for a macro under a mode key you have to press the key twice within two
seconds.
6.3.3. DELETE A MACRO
1. On the RCU, press the SAT key continuously until the indicator stays on.
2. Release the SAT key and make sure the indicator blinks continuously.
3. Use the numerical keys to enter code 995and note that the indicator stays on.
4. Choose and press the key for the macro that you want to delete.
5. Press the SAT key for three seconds to delete the macro. Note that the indicator blinks
three times.
6. Now the macro is deleted successfully and the original key function is restored.
6.4. FACTORY RESET
You can do either a functional reset which means that all personal programs as volume lock
and real-time macros are lost. All equipment codes will remain.
A full factory reset is done if you want to delete all personal programming as well as the
equipment codes. This procedure will return the factory settings which you can customize
later.
6.4.1. FUNCTIONAL RESET
1. On the RCU, press the SAT key continuously until the indicator stays on.
2. Keep the SAT key pressed.
3. Use the numerical keys to enter code 980and note that the indicator blinks four times.
4. Now the RCU is programmed with the factory settings and ready for reprogramming.
NOTE
■ You have to complete the macro within a maximum of 8 key strokes.
■ If a mode key is used within a macro then all keys pressed after this mode key
will follow that mode until another mode key is pressed.
■ Nested macros are not possible, in other words you cannot start another macro
within a macro.
