4.2 Learning Function (Up to 10 Keys)
The remote control can learn functions from your original TV remote. This is useful for functions not pre-programmed or for specific features of your TV. You can program up to 10 keys.
- Preparation: Place the SCHWAIGER remote and your original TV remote on a flat surface, facing each other, with their infrared emitters aligned and approximately 1-3 cm apart.
- Enter Learning Mode: Press and hold the Power button and the OK button simultaneously on the SCHWAIGER remote for approximately 3 seconds until the LED indicator light (usually near the power button) illuminates steadily.
- Select Key to Learn: Press the button on the SCHWAIGER remote that you wish to program (e.g., a specific input button). The LED indicator will start blinking slowly.
- Transmit Signal: Press and hold the corresponding button on your original TV remote. The LED indicator on the SCHWAIGER remote should blink rapidly, then illuminate steadily, indicating successful learning.
- Repeat for Other Keys: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for any other keys you wish to program (up to 10).
- Exit Learning Mode: Press the Power button on the SCHWAIGER remote to exit learning mode. The LED indicator will turn off.
Note: If the LED indicator blinks rapidly and then turns off without illuminating steadily, the learning process may have failed. Ensure the remotes are properly aligned and try again. Some remote controls use different infrared frequencies or protocols, which may prevent successful learning for certain buttons.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the remote control. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the remote's response becomes sluggish or stops working. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new AAA alkaline batteries.
- Storage: Store the remote in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
