Learning Key
The HDR2500T RCU has some learning keys at the upper left side. The keys (except SET key)
can be used to memorise corresponding key values of TV RCU. After learning, the HDR2500T
RCU can be used in correspondence with the TV.
The recommended keys for the HDR2500T RCU to learn from your TV RCU are as follows:
POWER, TV/AV, VOL+ and VOL-. The TV/AV identifiers vary with different types of TV RCU.
Instructions:
1. Hold down the SET key on the HDR2500T RCU
for about 2 seconds, the indicator status changes
from low light to high light, then release the SET
key.
2. Press a learning key on the HDR2500T RCU
(such as TV POWER key), the indicator light be-
gins to flash slowly.
3. Aim the TV RCU at “receiving window” of the
HDR2500T RCU and press the corresponding key
on the TV RCU (such as POWER key) to be learnt.
The indicator light will begin to flash quickly, then
remain brightly illuminated indicating the learning
process has been successful.
4. Repeat step 2 and 3 to set other learning keys in
the same way.
5. After setting, press SET key to exit, and indicator
is off.
If the operation fails, please try again according to
above steps.
Notes:
• During setting, put the two RCUs on same horizontal surface and the space between
them should be within 5cm.
• If there is no operation in 10 seconds, the unit’s RCU will exit from learning mode
automatically.
• You can operate the learning function many times, but only the last one will be
saved.
• Some TV RCUs may not support this function.
