Library Code Entry (continued)

7. The touchscreen now shows the Code Setup Screen. Find the

three-digit code for your device brand from the Code List. If your brand
has more than one code listed, begin with the first code. Enter the three-
digit code from the Code List. When a valid code from the list is
entered, the LED indicator light blinks after the last digit is entered. For
an invalid code, the LED indicator light flashes rapidly and beeps for
two seconds before going off. In both cases, the touchscreen returns to
the Main Setup Screen.

8. Before the code can be tested on the chosen device, you must exit back

to normal operation by pressing the CLEAR key on the Main
Setup Screen.

9. With the device on, aim the RM24941 at the device and press the ON•OFF or the CH+

key on the rubber keypad. If you have entered the correct number for your device, it
will respond to the ON•OFF or CH+ key. If the device responds, no further program-
ming is required.

10. If your device does not respond, try the next code in the list for your brand by repeating

the procedure starting at step 2. If no other codes exist for your brand, try
the Code Search or Code Autosearch methods.

Code Search

If the device you wish to control does not respond to any of the codes you
have entered using the Library Code Entry, you can search the entire code
library for a particular device that might not be listed in the Code List or
might be listed under a different brand.

When you enter a valid code for any given mode (e.g., when you enter a
code for a TV), the default key labels are displayed on the touchscreen and
any previously Learned functions for that mode are deleted. The mode is
reset to its power-on default state.

To search for a specific code in the Code List, follow these steps:

1. Manually turn on the device to be controlled (TV, VCR, DVD, etc.).

2. Press and hold the SETUP key on the rubber keypad until the LED

indicator light remains on and the touchscreen shows the Main Setup
Screen. This process takes approximately 2-3 seconds.

3. Release the SETUP key.

4. Press and release the LCD CODE key. The LED indicator light blinks

once to indicate acceptance of the keypress.

5. The touchscreen now shows the Device Setup Screen. Press and release

the device key on the rubber keypad for the device whose code you want
to enter (TV, VCR, SAT, etc.). The LED indicator light blinks once to indi-
cate acceptance of the keypress.

6. For AUX1 or AUX2, press the AUX device key. Select the desired device

key to be programmed under AUX (TV, VCR, SAT/CBL, etc.).

7. The touchscreen now shows the Code Setup Screen. Press and release the

LCD SEARCH key.

8. The touchscreen shows the Search Setup Screen. Press the ON•OFF key

on the rubber keypad repeatedly, until the device to be controlled
responds to the command and turns off.

Note:

The Code Search starts from the currently stored code under that mode. For

example, if the device code list contains 100 codes and the currently stored code is
050, the Code Search starts from 051 and continues to 100 before looping back to
000 and finishing at 050. This speeds up the process of finding the correct code for
your device, since you may discover some codes can turn your device on and off
but are not able to control its other functions. This process allows you to
bypass codes you’ve already tried.
