Chapter 3—Customizing the remote control
To program a template button
For adding new functions, the remote control offers “empty” buttons to which
you can assign a command and a label. These
template buttons
are hidden from
view during normal use; they are visible only in Learn mode. Some of them
have labels because they are intended for a particular use; however, you can
assign any command or label to any button on a control panel. Some devices
have entire panels of empty template buttons, as well as some template buttons
scattered among the active buttons.
In addition to the template buttons, Learn mode displays any buttons that were
previously deleted from panels; you can restore these buttons by assigning
commands to them, or you can relabel them and use them for a different
purpose.
To assign a command to a template button:
1 Perform steps 1 through 7 of “To program a button on the display (soft
button)” on page 31.
When the remote control is in Learn mode, template buttons and previously
deleted buttons are visible so that you can select and program them.
TIP
If the template buttons are hard to see, use the contrast dial on the upper
left side of the remote control to adjust the display.
2 (Optional) Assign new labels to the buttons.
For instructions, see “To relabel a button” on page 41.
