EXECUTING MACROS

To execute a macro, press and release "MACRO"; its button illumination lights for 5 seconds. While it
remains lit, press an HTR L53 button to which a macro has previously been stored. The corresponding
macro will run; as each step executes, its "parent" Device Selector's button flashes lights briefly; when
execution is finished, the "MACRO" button illumination goes out. Pressing any other HTR L53 button
while a macro is executing will abort the macro. Remember that you must hold the HTR L53 so that its
infrared emitter can activate the target components.
NOTE
• When a macro executes, a 1 second delay is automatically inserted between its commands. If you
need more than a 1 second delay between particular commands-for example, to permit a component
to power up completely-you can record "empty" steps into the macro by changing Device Selector
"pages" without entering actual command functions.

BUTTON-ILLUMINATION TIMEOUT

The HTR L53's button-illumination can be set to remain lit for 0-9 seconds. The default value is 5 seconds.
To set the illumination timeout, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the HTR L53's "DISP"
and the "0-9" button, with the digit corresponding to the desired timeout duration; the Learn LED will
flash twice to confirm the new setting. When set to zero, the illumination will not turn on at all.
NOTE
• Button illumination is the biggest drain on the HTR L53's batteries. A short button-illumination timeout
will extend battery life appreciably; turning it off altogether (set it to 0 seconds) will lengthen it still
further.

FACTORY RESET

The HTR L53 can be reset to its factory state, deleting all learned commands, copied and punched-
through buttons, macros, and other setup information, reverting all buttons to their pre-programmed
library commands. To perform a factory reset simultaneously press-and-hold for 10 seconds the HTR L53's
"ON" and "RTN" buttons; the Learn LED will start to flash green. Release "ON" and "RTN" before the
second flash is complete; the Learn LED will turn red, indicate the remote has been reset.
NOTE
• You must release "ON" and "RTN" before the second flash goes out, otherwise the unit will not reset;
should this occur, repeat the full procedure.
