IR mode
The ClonePRO enters this mode when the operator presses a button on the bottom row of the keypad (without
connection to a TV DSCI port). A standard 9V battery (accessed via a small rear panel) is required to enable this
mode.
Notes: Like any IR (infra-red) remote control, the ClonePRO requires a reasonable line of sight between it and the TV for proper
signaling. Obstructions, long distances, sharp angles and certain specialty lighting can reduce the effective range of the unit.
If the “IR ready” light stays on longer than 1 minute by itself, temporarily remove the battery from the unit to reset the unit.
Remove the battery prior to long-term storage of the unit.
IR (red) Buttons
Note: You must press the ON button for the IR buttons to operate.
Master+ & Master- The Master- button disables access to the TV’s master menus via the master remote.
(Some third-party devices, attached to the TV’s DSCI port as part of a larger system, may disable access to master
menus even after they are disconnected.) To enable the master menus, press Master+.
OFF Turns the TV off, as well as turning the ClonePRO off.
ON Turns the TV on, as well as turning on the ClonePRO into IR mode, ready for subsequent buttons. Note
that the unit will automatically turn itself off 30 seconds after the last button has been pressed to extend
battery-life.
TEACH Begins teaching the settings stored in the ClonePRO to the TV, effectively “Cloning” the initially
configured TV.
Note: Pressing TEACH overwrites any settings already in the TV.
• A TV must be turned on before being taught in IR mode.
• After successful teaching, the TV turns off and reboots.
• If the TV displays the message Cloning Timeout or Cloning Aborted, press TEACH again to retry,
experimenting with the ClonePRO at different distances and angles from the TV.
• If no valid settings have been stored via a DSCI LEARN, the IR ready light will come on but nothing will
appear on the TV screen.
Buttons for IR and DSCI modes
