Learning new IR codes
The HDS4x2 is uses Zektor's Intelligent-IR™ system and is capable of learning new IR codes for all its IR
functions. This allows more than one HDS4x2 to be used in the same room, or "trick" installations where an IR
code is received by both the HDS4x2 and some other product, allowing for instance an IR code that turns on
a device to also map an input to an output zone on the HDS4x2.

Start by making sure there are no IR sources being used in the same room as the HDS4x2, once the HDS4x2
has entered the IR learn mode, any IR signals received will be learned by the HDS4x2.
To enter the IR learning mode:
1.
"Enter the setup mode", by pressing and holding the power toggle button
2.
Once the front panel is flashing, press the '4' button
The HDS4x2 is now in the "Learn IR codes" mode.
Use the Zone buttons
control buttons to an IR code number is, left to right, top to bottom, and is shown in the section entitled: "IR
remote button mapping", on page 15.
Once the proper IR code number is selected, point the new remote control at the HDS4x2's IR window
and press the desired button. If the new code is accepted, the IR LED will flash, and the IR code number will
be incremented by one.
If the LEDs do not sequence, and the IR LED does not flash when a remote button is pressed, then the
HDS4x2 does not recognize the IR code being sent. Make sure the remote's batteries are fresh.
The HDS4x2 will work with most remotes, however there are a few exceptions. Some of the technical reasons
for not working with some remotes are: The remote may be using a carrier frequency outside the range of the
HDS4x2 (34KHz to 42KHz), or it may be using one of the few protocols the HDS4x2 does not understand, like
the Philip's RC5 and RC6 protocols.
If the HDS4x2 does not learn the remote codes you are trying to use, you will have to use another remote, or
in the case of using a universal remote, you will have to pick a different manufacturer's code.
Press the Power Toggle button
Deleting an IR code
You can use the Breakaway button
cates the IR code has been deleted from memory, the BLUE LED indicates a code currently exists in memory.
NOTE: Once an IR code has been deleted, the only way to restore it is to re-learn an IR code, or do a full
factory restore! A factory restore resets all the IR codes to their factory defaults! Deleting an IR code is not
the same as disabling an IR button. When an IR code is deleted, it will also be unavailable to the IR Jack. To
disable an IR button, refer to the section entitled: "Disabling individual IR control buttons". There's seldom a
reason to delete an IR code, and the results can be confusing, use this option sparingly, if ever.
