Learning Codes from a Remote
The HS 250 remote is able to “learn” codes from
other remote controls that might be part of your
system setup, like the one from your TV. To learn
or transfer codes from an IR remote to the HS’s
remote, follow these steps:
1. Place the front of the original remote with the
code being sent so that it is facing the IR
Transmitter Window
d
on the HS remote
“head-to-head.”The remotes should be between
2 and 4cm apart.
2. Select the button on the remote that you wish
to use as the device selector for the codes about
to be entered.This must be any of the Input
Selectors
0
.
3. Press the Input Selector
0
button chosen
and the Learn Button
X
at the same time. Hold
these buttons until the Program Indicator
e
flashes amber and the light under the device
selector button turns red. Release the buttons. It
is important that you begin the next step within
20 seconds.
4. Press the button on the HS remote that you
wish to program. Note that the Program
Indicator
e
will stop flashing.
Important Note: Codes cannot be taught to all
buttons on the remote. In these cases the
Program Indicator
e
keeps flashing after the
button was released.
5.As long as the Program Indicator
e
is on
steadily (for five seconds), press and hold the but-
ton on the original remote that you wish to
“teach” into the HS remote. If you pressed the
button too late or no command was received
within five seconds, the Program Indicator
e
will flash red three times and then amber, then
simply repeat step four.When the Program
Indicator
e
turns green, release the button on
the original remote. Note that the Program
Indicator will then begin to flash amber again.
NOTE: If the Program Indicator
e
turns red
steadily during Step 5, the programming was not
successful. Repeat the steps to see if the code will
“take.”If the indicator keeps flashing red in step
5, this code cannot be taught.
6. Repeat steps 4 though 5 for each button on
the source remote that you wish to transfer to the
HS remote.
7. Once all codes have been transferred from the
original source remote to the HS remote, press the
Learn button
X
.This will turn off all LEDs and
turn off the learning mode.
8. Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for any additional
remotes you wish to “teach” into the HS Remote.
