Hama ROC8505 - Manual (Page 9)

Note: during the programming of a macro, the time bet-
ween each step is limited to a few seconds.This leaves little
time for reading the instructions and then carrying them
out. If the mode indicator light blinks and then goes out, it
is because this time limit has been exceeded, you must start
again from step 1.
To record a MACRO:
1. Press and hold down the SETUP key until the
mode key blinks ( TV , VCR , …) and then
remains lit (after 2 or 3 seconds).
2. Release the SETUP key.
3. Press the MACRO key once. The mode key
blinks.
4. Press once the A, B, or C key which you are
going to use to memorise the sequence.
5. Press once on the ( TV , VCR , …) mode key of
the first device you wish to control (the first
key must always be a mode key.)
6. Successively press the keys corresponding to
the commands you wish to send to the
device(s) (9 keys maximum, including other
mode keys). The mode key blinks when each
key is pressed.
7. Memorise your key sequences by pressing
the
MACRO key once. The mode key is no
longer lit and your Macro is complete.
Note: a sequence will be automatically memorised after
the tenth key press (counted from the mode key) and the
mode key light will go out.
To use a MACRO:
Press the MACRO key once and, within 20
seconds, press the A, B, or C key you used to
memorise the sequence.
Note: when running a Macro (which takes a few
seconds), ensure that the remote control is aimed at the
device being controlled.
Remarks:
• The default time between sending 2 commands when
using a macro is half a second.. However, it is possible
that you will need to add longer periods in your
sequence in order to allow enough time for certain devi-
ces to turn themselves on.To lengthen the time period
between 2 commands, press once on the
key and
then press one of the keys from 1 to 9 in order to insert
a pause from 1 to 9 seconds.
• The first key in a sequence must always be a ( TV ,
VCR , …) mode key.
Deleting a MACRO:
1. Press and hold down the SETUP key until the
mode key blinks ( TV , VCR , …) and then
remains lit (after 2 or 3 seconds).
2. Release the SETUP key.
3. Press once on the MACRO . key.The mode key
begins to blink.
4. Press once the A, B, or C key that represents
the sequence to delete.
5. Press and hold down the SETUP key. The
mode key light goes out and the sequence is
now deleted.
Learning function
If the make of the device you wish to control is
not in the separate code list, you can copy the key
functions of the original remote control of the
device into your ROC 8505. Depending on the
format of the transmission codes of the original
remote control, your ROC 8505 remote control can
memorise up to 150 keys
Global delete – Delete all the keys
copied (this is recommended the first
time you use this function)
1. Hold down the SETUP key until the key cor-
responding to the last selected mode remains
lit.
2. Release the SETUP key.
3. Press twice on the LEARN . key. The key goes
out and then relights.
4. Press once on the SETUP key. The mode key
goes out after several seconds.
5. All the copied keys are now deleted.
Before starting
• The batteries in the 2 remote controls must be in
good condition; change them if necessary.
• The keys L1 to L4 allow you to copy 4 additional
keys.
• First copy 2 or 3 keys from the original remote
control in order to check the compatibility of the
codes of both remote controls.Then carry out a glo-
bal delete of these keys before starting the full
learning procedure.
• Lay out the original remote control and your ROC
8505 end to end so as to align the LED diodes on
the 2 remote controls. Where necessary adjust the
height of both remote controls so that the LED dio-
des are properly aligned.
• Check that the 2 remote controls are approximately
2.5 cm apart (a thumb width).
• Do not move the remote controls during the learning
procedure.
• Ensure that the room is not lit by fluorescents tubes
or low consumption lamps since such light sources
can interfere with the copying.
• The 2 remote controls must be at least one metre
away from any light source.
• Avoid copying VOL and keys codes and the play
keys (8) since depending on the remote controls the
codes of these keys do not necessarily control the
same devices.
• When the memory of your ROC 8505 is full, the
mode key will blink for 3 seconds. It is then not pos-
sible to copy any more codes without first carrying
out a global delete.
• When you copy a key, it is possible that the mode key
will blink feebly. In this case, do not release the key
and wait until the blinking stops.
Note 1: if the learning procedure does not seem to work
correctly, try the following:
1. End the learning procedure by pressing SETUP .
2. Check that the LEDs of the two remote controls
are properly aligned. Carry out the alignment
procedure.
3. Modify the distance between the remote
controls, increasing or reducing the distance from
1.5 cm to 5 cm.
4. Restart the procedure from the beginning.
