learned, two asterisks (**) will appear next to the command on the list.
NOTE: As a matter of procedure, when learning commands, leave the Auto Detect checked at all times.
Check the "Toggle" box only if commands do not seem to execute consecutively or consistently.
CAUTION: The older MRC44 firmware v218 or older) will output commands recorded with the toggle
function but they will not execute the toggle action. For the majority of controlled products this will not be a
problem. However, where the toggle action is required (as evidenced by the inability to consecutively or
consistently execute commands), the only solution is to upgrade to the latest version of firmware. See
“Firmware Upgrade Options”.
