Once this is done, the remote will ask you to press the sequence of
buttons that the remote will play out when it hears HBO. If HBO is on
channel 82, press [8] and [2]. If you need the ENTER button to
complete channel changes, you must press [MUTE/ENTER] as well.
When you are done press [TRAIN] to save the new voice command.
You can program voice commands to do things like raise and lower
the volume, turn the TV on and off, etc. However going to a
particular channel will probably be the most common type of voice
command.
HINT: If you want to program 2 or 3 channels onto a single voice
command, press the
[LISTEN]
button to separate the channels. The
SurfBoard will say segment when you program a multi-channel voice
command.
Important: You can program up to 12 voice commands. Once you
program a user voice command, the 5 factory voice commands are
disabled.
Custom Keywords
You can replace the out-of-box keyword "Surfboard" with a keyword
of your own. This will make it work better for you, but it might not
work as well for others unless their voice has some similar
characteristics to yours. Once you program your own keyword, it will
replace the factory keyword until you erase it. To avoid a lot of false
positive responses to the keyword, you should choose a word that is
easy to remember and has at least 2 syllables. More complex words
like "abracadabra" will work better than simple words like "Sam."
Learning New Codes
While the library of devices in the SurfBoard remote is extensive, it
is not possible to support every new television, cable and satellite box
because new devices enter the market all the time. It is also

possible that your device may exist in the library but there is some
feature or button that is not included that you would like to add.
The SurfBoard remote contains an advanced IR "learner" that allows
you to add to existing codes or completely program a new set of
buttons. When you "learn" a button, it replaces the library code that
was sent for that button.
To enter the learning set up, press [HELP]ÿ [3]ÿ [1] and follow
the SurfBoard remote's spoken directions.
If you are learning your own cable box codes, you will probably wish
to place the new buttons you learn onto the equivalent keys

existing button or place these additional codes onto "shifted" buttons
(see below).
When you are prompted to line of the two remote controls, place the
two remote controls about 2 to 4 inches apart as shown.

The front of the "teacher" (original) remote control should face the
front of the SurfBoard remote.
The SurfBoard's intelligent learning system will talk you through
each step of the learning process.
After learning buttons, test the SurfBoard on your entertainment
equipment to be sure the button was successfully learned. If not try
it again.
