Your Universal Remote requir es 4 new AAAalkaline batteries. After inserting the batteries, the LCD screen
will enter a test mode that tests all segments of the LCD screen. This procedure will last for 5 seconds.

To install the batteries:

1. Turn the remote over, pull up on the tab and lift the cover off.

2. Insert the batteries matching the batteries to the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery case.

3. Slide the battery cover back into place.

NOTE: The LCD display will prompt you with a Low Battery icon to signify a low battery condition.

The remote will still continue to function at this point. Although code tables for devices will be
retained, some reprogramming may be required after batteries are removed.

Learning A Key Sequence

1. Place the RCU810 remote control unit and the other

remote control unit so that they face each other. They
should not be any more than 2 inches apart.

2. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH key until the remote

window displays CODE SET.

3. Step through the programming menu using the

UP (▲) key or DOWN (▼) key for IR LEARN,
then press the SELECT key.

4. Choose the desired device key then press the SELECT

key to continue on to the next step.

The remote will display LEARNING message for at
least 5 seconds to allow you to capture the IR data.

5. Press a valid key to be learned on the RCU810 remote

control in which you will store a new function.

The L

1, L2, L3 or other function keys may be used in this

programming mode. When using the other function keys
it is important to have the other remote in the same
device mode as the RCU810.

6. Press and hold the key on the other remote control,

which has the function you want to store. Hold the key
for at least 3 seconds or until a message displays in
the window.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to store more functions.

8. When the selected functions are stored press the

CLEAR key to exit the IR LEARN programming
mode. The LCD display window will show a message
displaying EXIT SETUP and return to original operation
mode.

NOTES:

• Every time a code is successfully learned, the display

window will show SUCCESS.

• Press the CLEAR key at any time to exit the programming

mode. An EXIT SETUP message will appear confirming that
no new codes have been entered.

• If a key, which cannot learn another function, is pressed, the

display window will display an INVALID message.

• The learning capacity is approximately 16 to 25 keys,

depending on the function being learned.

The Learning feature is used as a supplement to the standard preprogrammed library. The
standard code library provides most of the functions needed, but you can add a small
number of additional functions of your choice.

remote control in which you will delete the function that
has been stored.

5. If the key is a valid one, the learned data in a key has

now been deleted, followed by display message
DELETED will be shown.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to delete more functions.

7. When the selected functions are deleted press the

CLEAR key to exit the IR DELETE programming
mode. The LCD display window will show a message
displaying EXIT SETUP and return to original
operation mode.

NOTES:

• Press the CLEAR key at any time to exit the programming

mode. An EXIT SETUP message will appear confirming that no
new codes have been entered.

• If about 30 seconds passes before a key is pressed, the LCD

display window will stop transmission to conserve battery life.
If this occurs, restart from step 1.

To delete a learned key sequence, either overwrite it with a new key, or use the procedure
below.

Key is entered.

4. The display message ENTER SEQ will be shown.

You can begin entering the series of keystrokes, up
to 15 keys, that you wish to be played back when you
press the designated Macro key. After the very first key
for the macro sequence is entered, the display message
will change to SEL TO END.

NOTE: If more than 15 keys are entered, a message ERROR

followed by MAX=15 will be shown. The remote will
return to SEL MACKEY again for you to setup macro
sequence again.

5. Press and hold down the SELECT key for 3 seconds to

complete the programming sequence. The SELECT key

must be pressed and held down for at least 3
seconds to exit the sequence.

6. The remote will then display the message SUCCESS,

followed by the message EXIT SETUP and return to its
normal operation.

NOTES:

• Press the CLEAR key at any time to exit the programming

mode. An EXIT SETUP message will appear and the remote
will return to its normal operation.

• If about 30 seconds passes before a key is pressed, the LCD

display window will stop transmission to conserve battery life.
If this occurs, restart from step 1.

MACRO is a command, which defines a sequence of several operations. Each MACRO key has
one command sequence programmed so you can make as many as 15 keystrokes in a sequence.
For Example: When operating one or more devices to power ON/OFF, one macro key enables

you to program series of power ON/OFF commands into one key.

Hold For 3 Seconds

Enter the series

of keystrokes.
