Code Learning
Codes from the Code List include basic functionality for each
device they control. Once you have programmed in the library
code for your specific device, you can customize the RCU900
touchscreen to include certain functions from your original
remote that were not embedded in the preset code.
Your RCU900 has the ability to learn and store commands from
your original remotes under the mode of your choice. The
RCU900 can store up to 40 key commands for each original
remote. Only one original remote can be stored under any one
mode (i.e., the RCU900 can learn the commands for one TV
remote, one VCR remote, one DVD remote, etc.).
Once you have set your Key Label Options and have taught
your RCU900 any additional commands from the original
remotes, use the chart on the previous page to enter your
customized options for each mode.

Learning Tips
Before transferring commands from your original remote to
the RCU900, check out these useful tips on Learning.
1. Make sure you are using fresh batteries in both the RCU900
and the original remote.
2. It is recommended that a Master Clear be
done before attempting any Learning. This
clears all Learned commands for all device
modes. (See section on Master Clear).
3. Point the top of the original remote at the
base of the RCU900 so the IR LED on the
original remote is in line with the RCU900
Learning sensor, located at the bottom of
the remote.
4 The remotes should be positioned two to
three inches apart.
5. To ensure that your units are compatible
and to increase your familiarity with the
unit, you may wish to experiment by
learning two or three keys initially. Then,
carry out a Master Clear before learning
all the desired functions from your
original remote.
6. Incandescent or low-energy light can cause interference
with the IR transmissions. When using the Learning
function, keep the remotes at least three feet away from
such light sources.
7. When learning a key, do not release the key on your original
remote until the LED indicator light remains on, which takes
2-3 seconds.
8. No commands may be learned under the LCD LEARN,
MACRO, SCREEN or SETUP keys or the device keys on
the rubber keypad (such as TV, VCR, DVD, SAT/CBL, or
AUDIO keys).
9. If there is a problem with the Learning process, the LED
indicator light flashes for two seconds but still remains in
Learning Mode.
10. All Learned keys are saved automatically.
