considerations.
LEARNING PRECAUTIONS
•Your original remote controls must be
in working order for learning to work
properly.
•Learned keys are mode specific, so
each one can store a unique function
for each mode.
•Learned keys can be used in macros
(see Using Macros on page 11).
•Do not use the following keys for
learning: Device Keys, SETUP, FAV, or Record (•) Key.
•Learning capacity is approximately 50
to 70 keys, depending on the code
being learned.
•If both learned and keymoved
functions are assigned to the same key,
the last programmed function is
stored.
•A learned function cannot be used as a
source for Keymover (see Using
Keymover on page 15).
•Certain device codes are not learnable
including multi-frequency types, some
high frequency ones, and other
unusual formats.
•For optimum learning, avoid high
levels of ambient light such as natural
sunlight or energy-efficient fluorescent
lights.

ABOUT UPGRADING
T
he OFA Kameleon™ 6-Device Hybrid Remote
(URC-6690) has the largest infrared code library
available. However, if you purchase a brand new
home entertai nment or home automation device ,
it may not respond to the codes stored in the
remote control’s memory. If this happens, please
contact our Customer Support department (see
Troubleshooting Section below) to upgrade the
remote control
The Customer Support representative will
search our entire database for a code that
matches your device and instruct you how
to enter it into your OFA Kameleon™ 6Device Hybrid Remote (URC-6690). If the

new code would then be created and entered
into your OFA Kameleon™ 6-Device Hybrid
Remote (URC-6690). If necessary, the
Customer Support representative can
instruct you how to begin the capture
procedure.
