USING YOUR COMMUNICATION AID AS A REMOTE
CONTROL

With its built-in infrared (IR), your device can learn
infrared signals for any device you own that has a
remote control. Your device has a Remotes Activity,
which links to pages containing pre-stored commands
and icons for the basic functions for a number of
remote control devices such as X-10 Device, TV, DVD
& CD Player, etc.

There is an insertable tool called IR Remote that
functions like a Universal Remote. This tool may be
stored under an Icon Sequence or added to the

Remotes Activity – it allows access to all of your
Remote Control Appliance Signals from one page.
TEACH REMOTE CONTROL SIGNALS FOR THE
DEVICES THAT ARE IN YOUR REMOTES ACTIVITY

Before you begin to Store any signals, ensure the
Remote Control you are going to use is at hand.

IR commands/signals are stored via the IR Setup Menu

- this automatically stores them onto the correct
Remotes Activity page for later use.

1. Go to the Toolbox and open the IR Setup

Menu.

2. Activate the arrow keys in the Device Box to

select the device/appliance whose signals you
want to teach, e.g., TV.

3. With the name of the device in the Device

If you want to teach a remote control signal to your
device, point your remote control at the IR area. If you
want to send an IR signal from your device, make sure
the IR window is facing in the general direction of the
appliance you want the signal sent to. The handle will
not interfere with IR signals.

Signal Key.

256. If you want to change the Icon and Label
