Types of Help Available

You can customize the Help button on your Harmony remote to provide one of the following types of help:

Smart help

Asks questions about the devices that are on during a specific Activity.

Full help

Select Full help if you find devices aren’t being controlled the way you want them to and the help on the
remote is not asking you questions about these devices.

Use the Harmony Remote Software to select the type of help you want.

Using the Remote Assistant

Extra help is available from your remote by turning on the Remote Assistant.

Controlling Individual Devices

This section provides you with an overview of three modes you can use to access specific features of
each device.

Device Mode

Press Devices to enter device mode. Device mode gives you access to all the possible commands for
each device included in your Harmony remote configuration. To access device mode you do not need to
be in an Activity. However, you should never need to use Device mode during normal use of your
Harmony remote. This mode should only be used to send a specific command to a specific device.
