When the sensor detects any motion, the motion sensor will turn on the backlight on the remote. You can also turn off the motion sensor by pressing the Glow button. Displaying Help on Your Harmony Remote From time to time when you select an Activity, the Activity may not work. This can happen when the Harmony remote sends many infrared commands to set up all your devices for an Activity, but one or more devices are not receiving some commands. The Harmony remote is then "out of sync" with your devices (e. g. it thinks one of your devices is on, but it is turned off). Some of the reasons the Harmony remote can become "out of sync" with your system are: · · · · Someone walks between the Harmony remote and your entertainment system while an Activity is starting. You point your Harmony remote away from your system while an Activity is starting. There is an object blocking the line-of-sight between your Harmony remote and the system. You are very far away from your entertainment system. You will need to use the Help button on your Harmony remote to resynchronize the remote with your devices. Before resynchronizing, ensure the cause of the problem has been addressed. Example Remove all obstructions so that the entertainment devices can receive the infrared commands from the Harmony remote. v. 1. 0 page 4 Harmony 555 User Manual To resynchronize: 1. Answer the questions on the remote's display by selecting Yes or No. If you answer no to any question, the Harmony remote will resend the necessary command and ask you the same question again. When you are done, the Harmony remote will be "in sync" with your devices again. 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 Asks questions about all the devices in your help system. 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. Connect your Harmony remote to your computer to start the Harmony remote control software. Click Next.
