trol. Please make sure the Remote Controls have fresh
batteries installed and functioning correctly with their
respective component(s) before proceeding.
Signal Strength Test
Preliminary Step
First perform the following test with the HR085 Re-
mote Control and other Brand Remote Control before
attempting to have the HR085 learn commands from
them.
1. Referring to figure 2, position the remote controls
as illustrated.
2. The HR085 IR sensor must be receiving an
adequate IR signal for the learning process to be
successful.
3. Press and hold in the DEVICE Push-button for
about 4 seconds, and the LED will flash
twice. This indicates the HR085 Remote Control

store RC Commands. Before proceeding make sure
the Remote Controls have fresh batteries installed
and the optimum position has been determined. In
the following example, the (Play) and the : (Next)
transport commands will be learned from the Other
Brand Remote and stored in the HR085 Remote Con-
trol “AUX” DEVICE. Refer to figure 3 and perform
the following steps:
Note: It is important to perform the learning/storing
steps at a moderate pace, thus preventing drop-
ping out of the Programming Mode.
1. Press and hold in the DEVICE Push-button for
about 4 seconds, the LED will flash
twice.
2. Using the Numeric Push-buttons on the HR085,
