LEARNING
Your Big Button remote control can learn any function from any other working remote control. This is a quick and easy one-time setup that allows to control any infrared controlled device you have in your living room. It also allows you to add a key or keys that may be missing to a spare key on the Big Button.
To do this, firstly make sure you have all your original remote controls to hand, and that they have working batteries in.
To learn functions, the original remote should be approximately 3cm from the Big Button remote, pointing towards it:
Press the Device key for the device you want to learn functions onto.
Hold down the Setup key until the LED under the Device key blinks twice.
Press 975 – the LED should blink twice.
Press and release the key you want to learn a function onto (for example the TV Power key) – the LED will begin to flash rapidly.
Press and release* the corresponding key on the original remote, for example Power.
- The LED will blink twice to indicate the key has been learned correctly.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each key you want to learn – remember you can learn from multiple remotes, but only one function per key.
When you have learned all the functions you require, press and hold Setup key until the LED blinks twice.
* Some remotes send commands differently. If you find a function cannot be learned, try holding down the key on the original remote instead of pressing and releasing.
Hints:
- If the LED shows one long blink at step 5, the function was not learned correctly, please try again from step 4.
- If you find one or more keys don’t work properly after set up, you can re-enter the learning mode at any time by repeating the procedure from step 1.
- If one or more of your original remotes aren’t working, you can still set up the Big Button remote by SimpleSet or Code Set Up.
Deleting a learned function
If you want to delete a learned function and return that keys to its original state, you can use the following procedure:
- Press the Device key for the device you want to learn functions onto.
Hold down the Setup key until the LED under the Device key blinks twice.
Press 976 – the LED should blink twice
