the button press, then remain lit.

5. If learning is successful, the ACTIVITY LIGHT will ash four times. If it is not successful, it will
blink 10 times very quickly.

NOTE: In learning mode, VOL UP and VOL DOWN are separate buttons.
7. When done, press the TiVo button to exit learning mode and return to normal operation.
