Tips
• Make sure the Essential remote is operating the device in question
before programming
• If you find the Macro doesn't work as expected, you can just repeat
the same sequence to reprogram
• When programming, wait for your device to respond first, the remote
will remember the timing
• The App Shortcut macro is tied to one device, remember to make sure
you are watching the correct device
ACTIVITIES
An Activity is a combination of devices being controlled as if they were
one.
On a standard universal remote control if you want to control different
devices you need to swap between them using the device keys. So, if
you wanted to control the input of your TV, the channels and guide
of your Bell Set Top Box and the volume of your sound bar, you would
need to swap between these by pressing the TV and STB keys.
On the Essential remote these devices can be grouped into one
Activity mode, so after pressing watch TV, the Input key will control the
TV, the Volume Up, Down and Mute will control the Sound Bar and the
other keys will control the Bell Set Top Box. The Essential remote has 2
Activity modes, specifically, Watch TV and Watch Movie.
Each of these modes has a choice of devices to combine.
These are:
If you setup the default devices for any Activity on the remote (for
example a TV, STB and Audio for Watch TV) that Activity will be set up
automatically on the remote.
If you have set up your remote to control the Volume of a Sound Bar or
Audio Device (see SOUND BAR / AUDIO RECEIVER VOLUME CONTROL),
the Watch TV and Watch Movie Activity will automatically control the
volume of this device.
If you would like to change to a different combination, the procedure
is as follows:
