Macros
The “M” (Macro) button, in conjunction with buttons
M1, and M2, lets you to program and store up to two
sequences of IR Commands (button-presses) of your
choice. One press of the respective Macro digit button
results in that sequence of IR commands being sent.
Any sequence of commands that you regularly perform
can be reduced to two button presses (“M” button
followed by M1, or M2 button). For example pressing
“M” followed by a single button can turn on your TV,
turn on your cable box, change to your favorite channel,
turn on your VCR, and tell it to record, etc. A total of 10
button presses can be stored under each of the two
Macro digits.

Macro Notes

Delays can be added by using the PAUSE button
followed by the number of seconds delay required.
For example, to enter a delay of 3 seconds, press and
release PAUSE followed by 3 (in step 4 of “To Setup
a Macro” on the previous page). Maximum delay is 9
seconds. It is not possible to have a “0” digit
entered after Pause i.e. there is no zero delay.
2. There is an automatic delay of half a second between
each IR transmission in a Macro sequence.
3. The first button in a Macro sequence MUST be a
Mode button (TV, VCR, etc.).
