Setup
Using the Wizard
(1)
After you insert the batteries the Setup
Wizard screen (1) appears. You can exit
the Wizard at any time by pressing the
HOME key (located just below the
screen). Press any key at screen (1) to
continue and follow the instructions on
the screens.
Battery Installation
1. On the back of the remote, push down
on the tab and lift the cover off.
2. Match the batteries to the + and -
marks inside the battery case, then
insert 3 AAAlkaline batteries. Make
sure you use new batteries. You can
have problems with learning codes
if your batteries are old.
Pressing OK at screen (2) takes you to
the next screen (3). Pressing the Left
navigation key (Back key) on the remote
at screen (3) takes you to screen (4) that
has 10 yellow arrows. This is an
exception to the rule because we’re
teaching you how to use the remote. But
pressing Back again at this point does
take you “back.”
(2)
3. Press the battery cover back into
place.
Battery Saver
Your remote automatically turns off if the keys are depressed
for more than 30 seconds. This will save your batteries should
your remote get stuck in a place where the keys remain
depressed (e.g., between the sofa cushions). Also, the screen
turns off a short time after no keys have been pressed for a
while (or a short time after a key has been stuck for 30
seconds). The duration before the screen turns off can be
adjusted from about 2 seconds to about 35 seconds, from the
Setup, Advanced, Options menu, see page 34.
Try pressing the Back key a few times to
go back through the Wizard and then
follow the instructions on the screens
again to familiarize yourself with how to
step through the screens and go back.
You can go back and forth through the
Wizard but once you’ve set up your
devices and quit to save the settings, you
won’t see the Wizard again unless you do
a Master Reset.
(3)
Permanent Memory
All the devices you set up, their codes, punchthrough settings,
and all your favorites, etc., are stored in permanent memory
while you are changing batteries so you will not lose any
codes or settings stored in the remote while you are changing
batteries.
To do a Master Reset: Press the HOME
key, then select Setup, then select Clear
Settings, then select Master Clear. Note
this will erase everything you have set up
in the remote.

Pressing Save shows screen (5) that
instructs you to try a few other keys on
the remote to make sure you’ve found
the correct code. Tip: try keys like Menu,
and Guide. Power might work yet you
still might not have the correct code. If
several keys seem to work fine, press
Save Code. If some keys don’t work,
select Change Code (or press Back) to
go back and find another code that works
better. Selecting Label lets you rename
the device, e.g. you could call it My TV.
You can ignore this for now and try it
later if you like. See pages 11, 12, and 23
for more details on entering text to
change labels.
How to set up a TV
After you’ve been through the Wizard for
the first time, the screen (1) shown to the
right appears. This is the start of the
Wizard to set up your devices (TV being
the first one). Manually turn on the
device(s) to be set up (TV, VCR, etc.).
If you know your brand of TV, select Yes
which results in a faster search for your
TV’s code. (Selecting No searches the
complete library of TV codes, rather than
just the codes for your brand of TV).
(6)
Pressing the Side Key next to Yes at
screen (1) takes you to a screen (2) where
the most common brands are shown next
to the Side Keys. If your brand isn’t
shown you can press the Side Key
adjacent to Next to show more brands,
(shown alphabetically) or press the Side
Key adjacent to Back to go back to the
previous screen of brands. Note, on the
very first screen of brands, the Side Key
adjacent to Back takes you to the last
screen of brands (so you can go back
through the list instead of forward
through it if you prefer). In this case we
selected Philips.
Pressing Save Code at screen (5) takes
you to screen (6) where you set up a
Cable box. You can quit at this point and
set up other devices later, or you can continue and set up other
devices - SAT, DVR, DVD, VCR, Audio, CD Player, or either
of the 2 AUX devices.
Let’s assume for now that you go ahead and set up a TV,
Cable, and SAT.
If you select No at screen (1) on the previous page the
procedure will be similar to the above, except that you will be
searching through the entire library of codes for your device
to find the one that works best (instead of just searching
through the codes for your brand of device, e.g., Philips).
Screen (3) tells you to point the remote
directly at your TV and repeatedly press
(but not hold) Power (or Chan Up/Down,
or Play for VCRs etc.) until your device
responds. Pressing Power sends the
Power command to your TV and screen
(4) shows that you’ve selected code 1 of
xx (xx will vary by brand). Keep pressing
Power until your TV responds and then
press Save.
If you say Yes when asked if you know your Brand, but
subsequently don’t find a code that works, you are asked if
you want to try again (in case you missed it), or try all the
codes for your device. If you try all codes for your device
type, and still don’t find a code that works, you can skip it, or
selected Learn. If you select Learn you can later learn the
commands you want for that device type.

Once you’ve gone through the Wizard
and set up at least a TV, and set up more
devices, or skipped the rest of them, you
arrive at screen (1) to the right.
If you want to add a label to the logo press the Side Key next
to Label. This is optional so if you don’t want to add a label to
the logo you can just select Save to save the setting for this
favorite. If you save this favorite, Set Favorite 2 of 10 is now
shown at the bottom of the screen to indicate that you can add
another favorite channel. Again just press a channel number
key on the remote, choose a logo and change the Device Type
(if you want to). Add a few more favorites (up to 10). You can
add more later, or delete or edit them later, or even reorder
their positions. Select Done when you’re finished setting up
favorites.
If you select Label, you see the screen to
the right with a small label on top of the
logo. Initially the label will be the channel
number for that logo. If you Save this, the
logo will have a small label representing
the channel number for that logo in it’s
bottom right hand corner, see screen (5).
Press any digit key, say digit 4, to enter
a channel number. This takes you to
screen (2). You can enter more digits if
desired. The channel number can
include a dash (-) for digital channels,
e.g., 2-3, or can include ENTER, or OK,
if your device requires it to change
channels, e.g. 472Ok, or 550Ent.
(5)
But you can type in a new label if you
want one. You enter the new name for
the key using the numeric keys on the
remote, in a similar fashion to typing in
text on a cell phone.
Now you press the Side Key next to
Pick Logo on screen (2). You are shown
a screen (3) of popular channel logos.
You can select Next (Side Key 10) or
Back (Side Key 5) to see more logos. In
this example we pressed the NBC logo
(Side Key 4). Screen (4) now shows that
we’ve chosen channel 4 and the NBC
logo. Note, you could also select the top
left position which would display “4” as
the favorite rather than a logo.
(4)
E.G. in this example we pressed the 5
key twice to enter the letter K. Then we
waited a second and pressed the 4 key
repeatedly until the letter I was
displayed. Then we waited a second and
pressed 6 to select N. Then we waited a
second and pressed the 4 key to select
G. See next page.
The Default device is this case was Sat,
but you can select Pick Device to
change it. In this case we changed it to
Cable. Make sure you select the
device that you want each favorite to
control, e.g. TV, Cable, or Sat.

Using The Remote
Note: “Triple tap” name entry works in a similar fashion to
text entry on a cell phone. Tap each numeric key to cycle
through ALL caps, numbers, and lower case letters. E.G.,
repeatedly pressing the number 2 key cycles through A, B, C,
2, a, b, c. Pressing the 9 key cycles through W, X, Y, Z, 9, w,
x, y, z. A “space” can be selected with the 0 (zero) key. The
number 1 key selects 1 . @ ? ! - & and : You can backspace
an entry with the key to the left of the 0 (zero) key. Press OK
(or the Enter “E” key) to confirm your new name.
(6)
You can continue to add favorites, up to a
total of 10 (you can add more later, see
page 28). At screen (6) you choose if the
favorites you just set up are stored in the
“His” group or the “Hers” group. Later
you can set up favorites in lots of
Assuming you followed the steps on the previous pages and
have set up some devices and some favorites you can now use
the remote. See the sections that follow to set up more devices
and/or favorites, and to set up other functions.
Using the remote
Press the HIS or HERS key at any time
to access the favorites you’ve set up. Or
press the FAVORITE key, then select
your favorites group. Then press the
Side Key next to the logo to change
your device to that channel. Selecting a
favorite group that has not yet been set
up, takes you to the setup Wizard.
Important: Make sure you point the remote at your device
until the channel changes. Pressing a favorite key might send
the commands for say channel 162, but if you don’t point the
remote at your device until all three digits are sent you might
just get channel 16, or even channel 1. Watch the flickering
halo at the bottom left of the screen, it flickers for each digit
sent. It also shows what device is being controlled.
different Groups, not just His and Hers.
Selecting His takes you to screen (7)
showing that you now have NBC set as
the first favorite in the His Group (at the
location next to Side Key K1), as well as
any other favorites you set up. (Note, you
can reorder, i.e., move the positions of
the logos later).
(7)
Press the HOME key at any time to
access the screen where you can set
things up, or access other features.
Press the MODE key, then select a
device type to change the mode that the
remote is in. E.G., if the remote is in
Cable mode then the hard keys such as
Channel Up/Down, Volume Up/Down,
numbers, etc., operate your cable box.
When you’re finished setting up your
favorites, press the HOME key (located to
the left below the screen) to go back to the
Home screen.
Also, when you select a mode, any extra keys for that mode,
and any keys you’ve learned for that mode are displayed. The
current mode that the remote is in is displayed with an icon in
the lower left of the screen. In the above example it’s in Cable
mode. Press HIS or HERS to return to your favorites screen.
At any time you can press the FAVORITE
key and then select His, or press the His
key at the top left hand side of the remote
to go to screen (7) above. Then pressing
the key next to the NBC logo will (in this
case) change the channel on your Cable
box to NBC (in this case channel 4).
Before you continue, press Side Key K5 next to the Help icon
and follow the prompts to get an idea of how to use the remote.

2. Adjust the distance between the two remotes to be closer
(e.g. half an inch) or a further away (e.g. 2 inches) from
each other.
3. Try learning the original remote keys again.
4. If problems reoccur with the same key, check the original
remote key being learned – does it transmit? Does it
operate the target device?
Tips On Learning
a. Some functions from some types of remotes might not
be able to be learned.
b. No functions may be learned under the HOME,
MODE, FAVORITE, HIS, or HERS (hard) keys.
c. Use fresh batteries for both the IR10A remote and your
Original Remote.
d. Keep at least three feet away from incandescent or low-
energy lights when learning.
e. Place the original remote end-to-end with the IR10A
remote so the IR transmitter (at the top) on your original
remote points at the IR learning device on the bottom of
the IR10A remote.
You can learn commands from an existing
remote and store them under the “Main”
keys on the IR10A remote, or learn
commands from an existing remote and
store them under any of the 10 Side Keys.
f. Keep the distance between the two remotes to
approximately 1 inch.
At the Home screen press the Side Key
next to Learn.
g. Line up the remotes and then press the key you want to
learn. To get the correct range, press the key on the remote
you are learning and you will see a “red halo” around the
transmit icon at the bottom left of the screen starts to
flicker. The best range for learning is when it flickers most
rapidly. Move the position of the 2 remotes to achieve this.
Do not change this “best distance” between the two
remotes until you have learned all the required keys.
h. When Learning, you should normally not release the key
being learned until the display prompts you to do so.
However, some keys might be learned multiple times if
you do this. If this happens just “tap” the key you want to
learn, rather than press and hold it. For example, keys that
you normally hold down for a while (like volume up or
down) will likely require a long press when learning. Keys
that you normally give a quick press (like the numbers,
and channel up/down) will likely require a quick press
when learning. If after learning say the channel up key,
you find that it changes multiple channels when pressed
once, try relearning it with a short keypress.
At this screen you press any of the 5
Side Keys K1-K5 on the left to learn
commands under a Side Key, or press
any of the top 4 Side Keys K6-K9 on the
right to learn commands under the main
keys on the remote.
If you press a right Side Key (to select Main Keys) you are
going to learn, say, the Chan Up key from an existing remote
and store it under the Chan Up key on the IR10A remote.
Or learn the Power key from an existing remote and store it
under the Power key on the IR10A remote, etc.
If you press a left Side Key (to select Side Keys) you are
going to learn, say, the “DVD Zoom” function from an
existing remote and store it under a Side Key on the IR10A
remote. You will then be able to name the key “DVD Zoom”
and access this “DVD Zoom” function from the Mode screen
when the remote is in the mode that you selected when you
learned this “DVD Zoom” command.
i. If learning the first or second keys results in continuous
errors then try the following:
1. Check the IR transmitters/sensors are correctly aligned
between the two remotes.

instructed to line up the remotes, and
press the key on the IR10A remote that
you want to learn.
Learning a Macro - Main Keys
At this screen you can select Add Key to
a Macro. Then instead of learning
another “separate” key, the next key you
learn will be added to a Macro. This
Macro will be activated by the key that
you learned the first command under.
E.G., you could press Power and learn
the power command from your TV’s
remote, then select Add Key to Macro,
and press the 3 key and learn the channel
3 key from your TV’s remote. Then the
Macro stored under the Power key will
turn on the TV and change the channel
to number 3.
You then point the remote you want to
learn commands from at the bottom of
the IR10A remote, and press the key
on the IR10A remote that you want to
learn a command under, e.g., the
Power key.

so the rest are grayed out, but you can
still select any of the devices to learn
commands for. E.G., in this case we
selected DVR.
Press Side Key K8 next to “Add Key to
Macro” to add more keys.
Then select the Side Key that you want to
store the Macro under. For example, L1.
You can set a delay (1-10 secs) after
which the command stored in the Macro
will be sent. (Repeatedly press Side Key
K9 next to Set Delay, or enter the delay
directly with the numeric keys, 0-9).
In this case we set a 2 second delay.

Setting up more
Point your existing remote at the bottom
of the IR10A remote and press OK when
you’re ready. Then press your next key.
Setting up more Devices
When you first inserted the batteries in
the remote you likely went through the
Wizard and set up a few devices. Here’s
how to set up more devices. Press the
HOME key to display the Home screen.
Then press the Side Key next to Setup.
Then press the Side Key next to Devices.
Then pick a device you want to set up.
After adding more keys you can keep the
label for the key (in this case L1) or select
Change Label, by pressing Side Key K9.
If you select Change Label you can
change the name to anything you want.
For example you could call it My Macro,
or Macro 1.
(1)
Note, it doesn’t have to be a device that
is grayed out. You can also select any
device that’s already set up (not grayed
out) and change its settings. From this
point, setting up a device is the same as
you learned in the Wizard. See pages 8
and 9. Note, you can select Aux 1 or
Aux 2 from the Devices screen and then
select any type of device to set up under
either Aux key.
After you select Change Label you see
the screen below to the right.
You enter the new name for the key using
the numeric keys, in a similar fashion to
typing in text on a cell phone. E.G. in this
example we pressed the 6 key on the
remote to enter the letter “M.” Then we
pressed the 2 key repeatedly until the
letter “a” was displayed. Then we waited
a second and repeatedly pressed 2 to
select “c.” Then we waited a second and
repeatedly pressed the number 7 key until
we selected “r.” Then the 6 key to select
“o.” Then the 0 (zero) key twice to select
a space, and then 1 to select 1. Macro 1 is
then displayed.
(2)
Or you could select any device, and then
press Change Type repeatedly, on screen
(1) above, to scroll through the devices
and change to TV (for example) to set
up a second TV. Selecting Label, on
screen (2) lets you rename the device,
e.g. you could call it Den TV, and have
another called Liv Rm TV.
Note: “Triple tap” name entry works in
a similar fashion to text entry on a cell
phone. Tap each numeric key to cycle
through ALL caps, numbers, and lower
case letters. So at screen (3) you could
press the 6 key to enter M, then the 9
key 8 times for a lower case y, then the
zero key twice for a space, then the 8
key for T, then the 8 key three times for
a V, to enter My TV. See pages 11, 12,
and 23 for more details on entering text
to change labels.
Press Done to save the new label for the
Macro you learned and stored under the
L1 key.
(3)
The next time you select the Mode that
the Macro was learned in (in this case
DVR) you’ll see that you can press the
Side Key next to “Macro 1” to activate
the Macro.

group (in this case His) shows the
favorites that you previously set up in
that group.
Then press the Side Key next to Wizard.
Then pick the group that you want to set
up favorites in, (or add more favorites to).
If you pick an existing group that you
previously set up favorites in, say His,
any new favorites will be added to the
ones you already set up. If you already set
up 10 favorites a new page will be added
(you can have 10 pages of favorites).
You can press a Side Key next to an
existing logo (to edit/change it), or press a
Side Key next to a blank location to add a
new favorite, or press More to add or edit
icons on a new page. For example, you
might only want to have four favorites on
this page and put some other favorites on
their own separate page. Or you can fill
up this page and add more to the next
page (up to 10 pages of favorites).
Groups that have not yet had any
favorites added to them are grayed out,
but can still be selected. From this point
adding favorites is the same as you
learned in the Wizard, so follow the
directions on the screen (see also pages
10-12).

Programming Combo Device Codes
Some Combo devices (e.g. TV/VCR, TV/DVD, DVD/VCR,
etc.) will require you to set up two different Mode keys to
control both parts of the Combo device. For example, if you
have a TV/DVD Combo, you might need to set up one code
under the TV key to control the TV part AND a separate code
(under any other Mode key) to control the DVD part. Other
Combo devices have one code that will control both parts of
the device. See separate code list.
Display Options

Punchthrough
This lets you set up how various keys on the remote operate in
various modes. For example you might want the Volume Up/
Down and Mute keys to ALWAYS operate your TV, no matter
what mode the remote is in. Or you might want the Play, Stop,
Pause REW, FF, and Record keys to ALWAYS operate your
VCR no matter what mode the remote is in.
Device Codes

At this screen you set how you want the
Volume Up/Down and Mute keys to
operate when the remote is in TV mode.
Press the HOME key, then select Setup,
then select Advanced, then KidSafe.
The first time you access the KidSafe
menu you are asked if you want to set up
a KidSafe Code. If you select Yes, you
see this screen. You enter a 4 digit code
that you will easily remember, but that
your Kid(s) won’t guess.
Then you select how you want the
Channel Up/Down keys to operate when
the remote is in TV mode.
Then you select how you want the Play,
Stop, Pause REW, FF, and Record keys to
operate when the remote is in TV mode.
After you enter a 4 digit code and press
OK you see a screen that lets you pick a
new KidSafe code, i.e., change it. And/or
set the group of favorites that your Kids
have access to (the default group is Kids
but will be grayed out if you haven’t set
that group up yet).
For example, here we’ve set the Volume
and Mute keys to operate the TV in TV
mode (i.e. Punchthrough Not Set); Chan
Up/Down to operate the Cable Box; and
Play, Stop, Pause, etc., to operate the
DVD Player - even though the remote is
in TV mode.
Here we’ve set the Volume and Mute to
operate the TV; and Chan Up/Down to
operate the Cable Box; - even though the
remote is in DVD mode. Play, Stop,
Pause, etc., will operate the DVD (i.e.
Punchthrough Not Set for Play, etc.)
You need to set up Punchthrough for
each device you’ve set up in the remote.
You can press the Side Key next to Pick
Favorites and choose a different
favorites group that you want your Kids
to have access to, e.g., any other
favorites group you’ve set up.
After you’ve done this you now have
the option to Turn KidSafe On. If you
turn KidSafe On everything in the
remote except access to the KidSafe
group (and Volume/Mute keys) is
locked out. No settings can be changed, and Channel Up/
Down, and number keys don’t work.
I.E., you need to set up how you want the “Volume Up/Down
and Mute” “Chan Up/Down” and “Play, Stop, Pause REW, FF,
and Record” keys to operate for each device that you have set
up, i.e., for whatever mode the remote is set to.
If you try to access any other favorite group, change a setting,
or access any forbidden menu, you are asked to enter the
KidSafe code. You cannot continue unless you enter the correct
KidSafe code. See the Troubleshooting section if you forget
your KidSafe code - but don’t let your kids read this owner’s
manual!
Note also that if you want some other keys to operate in a
different mode from what they normally operate in, you can
“learn” the key(s). E.G. if you want you TV’s INPUT key to
still switch the TV’s input when you’re in cable mode, you can
learn your TV’s INPUT key under cable mode.

X10 Home Control
Having problems with learning?
If you own or purchase an X10 IR Command Console, Model
IR543 and X10 Lamp, Appliance, and Wall Switch Modules
you’ll be able to control lights and appliances from your
IR10A iconRemote. You point the iconRemote at the IR543, it
receives IR commands and converts them to X10 commands.
Refer to page 34 and set up code 0401 under AUX (or any
other mode you prefer). Then in AUX mode (for example)
press a number button on the iconRemote corresponding to the
X10 Module you want to control, then press CHANNEL + to
turn the module on, CHANNEL – to turn it off, VOLUME + to
brighten Lamp and Wall Switch Modules, and VOLUME – to
dim them. You can also press the POWER button to turn on
ALL lights connected to Lamp and Wall Switch Modules and
press MUTE to turn off all your X10 modules (including
Appliance Modules).

See Learning Tips on page 16.
If some learned keys transmit multiple times, e.g. if a
learned Channel Up key changes more than one channel
when you press it, or Up/Down/Left/Right navigation keys
move more than one step when you press the learned key;
try just giving the key to be learned a quick press (when
you learn it) rather than holding the key pressed until the
screen displays Success.
Your TV turns on when you press a Favorite key.
•
Some types of TV, e.g. Philips flat panel TVs turn on and
go to the selected channel when you press a channel
number while the TV is off. So for this type of TV pressing
a favorite key will do the same thing (but it might not work
for 3 digit channels, e.g. 550).
Troubleshooting
Forgot your KidSafe code?
•
Just remove and reinsert the batteries to reset KidSafe (but
don’t let your Kids see this Owner’s Manual).
The Favorites you set up don’t operate your device.
•
Make sure you selected the correct device (TV, Cable, Sat,
etc., when you set up each favorite. See Add/Edit Favorites
