- Page 4 Remote Control Operation Description The following describes the operation of the remote control. Refer to the Universal Remote Commands tables, or the Commands Quick Reference guides for specific features. Once you begin to use the remote you will get very comfortable with the operation. There is a lot of functionality achieved by just a few remote buttons.

- Page 7 is full CW or the Squelch is full CCW, the LED will go out and the control movement will cease. Release the VOL+/- key and press again to pass over center position or continue in the opposite direction. This will give you feedback that the PBT control is centered and the RF Gain or Squelch is at the end of the control.
- Page 8 You can leave the NR level set and use the 3 VOL+/- sequence to enable the NR if it is turned off. To turn the NR off and leave the level set use the 3 0 VOL+/- sequence. If NR is on when you use the 3 VOL+/- sequence you will move the level up or down depending on the VOL key used.

- Page 16 LED Operation The LED provides feedback on the mode and operation of the SWL IR Remote. The LED blinks slowly whenever there is a communications error (such as NAK from ICOM radios) or the communications has timed out waiting for a response when a response is expected. This can also occur if the radio is powered off and you try to initiate commands.
- Page 17 Troubleshooting Nothing happens when using the Universal Remote. Make sure the radio is powered. Verify that the Universal Remote is in the TV mode. Check that the remote control box is connected to the wall power supply and that the wall power supply is connected to the AC supply.
- Page 18 Check the power connection to the back of the SWL IR Remote control box. Memory on the radio and the SWL IR Remote are not synchronized. If the memories are changed in any fashion other than the Universal Remote, the SWL IR Remote can lose track of the currently selected memory.
