Tips:
• If you erase or change the command of a button programmed in
the direct macro, that operation of that butlon will no longer
work in the macro. In this case, it will be necessary for you to
reprogram the direct macro in order to avoid incorrect operalion.
• The codes programmed into a direct macro will be transmitted al
an inlerval of 0.5 seconds. However, some devices may no1 be
able to complete one operation in 0.5 seconds and may miss the
next code. In this case, after pressing one operalion button, you
can press the same MODE button again before pressing 1he next
operation button to aid another 0.5 seconds between the two
operations.
I Programming the Direct Macro function
With the direct macro function, you can program a series of button
operations as a macro into the DIRECT MACRO button so the
