Types of Help Available
You can customize the Help button on your Harmony remote to provide one of the following types of help:
•
Smart help
Asks questions about the devices that are on during a specific Activity.
•
Full help

Select Full help if you find devices that aren't being controlled the way you want them to, and the help on
the remote is not asking you questions about these devices.
To select the type of help you want:
1. Connect your Harmony remote to your computer to start the Harmony remote software.
2. Click Remote Preferences.
3. Select Settings.
4. Click Next.
Using the Remote Assistant
Extra help is available from your remote by turning on the Remote Assistant.
To turn on/off this feature using the Harmony remote software:
1. From Home in the Harmony software, click Remote Preferences.
2. Select Settings.
3. Click Next.
While the Help button helps you solve device problems within an Activity, the Harmony Assistant
teaches you how to use your Harmony remote. The following is an example of the type of help the
Harmony Assistant offers:
Example
If any devices are not set up correctly, press "Help" now.
Controlling Individual Devices
Press Devices to enter device mode. Device mode gives you access to all the possible commands for
each device included in your Harmony remote configuration. To access device mode you do not need to
be in an Activity. However, you should never need to use device mode during normal use of your
Harmony remote. This mode should only be used to send a specific command to a specific device.
You can eliminate the use of device mode by customizing your Activities.
Example
You can put commands on the display or customize specific buttons for the commands.
