Voice Response

Accenda can tell you what button you are pushing, even if you have difficulty seeing the remote control. This feature is enabled or disabled with the [SOUND] button located inside the flip down keypad.

Press	LED Flashes	Voice Response
[SOUND]	2	When you press a button Accenda will state the function then send the command.
[SOUND]	1	Accenda will not issue a voice response when you press a button.

Note: When sound is enabled, you may need to hold buttons down longer than usual in order to give Accenda time to state the function and send the command.

You may also set up Accenda so that it will not send a command until you press the button again. See Voice Response Method in the User’s Guide for instructions.

Hands Free (Voice) Operation

Unlike conventional remote controls, Accenda may be used “hands-free” to control your TV, VCR etc. without lifting a finger! Any word may be set up to initiate either a single button press (for example [V+] to turn up the volume) or a sequence of button presses. For example, pressing[TV] followed by [POWER] tells Accenda to switch into TV mode, then turns the TV power on or off...with one voice instruction.

You Do This	Accenda Response
Press the [TRAIN] button	Accenda will say, "Say a word." The [LISTEN] button will light green.
Say a one or two-word voice instruction. For example, "TV Power."	Accenda will ask you to repeat the instruction.
Say the same word again	If the two words match, Accenda will say "Push a button."
Press the first button of the voice instruction ([TV] in this example).	Accenda will respond with, "Button accepted. Push another button."
Press the next button in the sequence (in this example, [Power]).	Accenda will say, "Button accepted. Push another button."
Since you have now completed the sequence, press the [TRAIN] button.	Since you have created a sequence of more than one button, Accenda will say, "Command assigned."

Favorite Channel Buttons

Accenda offers a convenient way to quickly go to your favorite channels by “assigning” them to the [F1] - [F4] buttons. When shipped F1 and F3 control volume, and F2 and F4 are channel up/down. To set up a favorite channel button:

Step	Press	Comment
1	[L/MAC]	Press the [L/MAC] button. The LED will flash once. If sound is enabled, Accenda will say, “function learn.”
2	[F1] - [F4]	Select a favorite channel buttons by pressing your choice of [F1] - [F4]. The LED will flash twice.
3	[CBL/SAT] [0] - [9], etc.	Press the button sequence that you want to program. For example [2] [2] for channel 22. Some televisions may require you to also press [ENTER].
4	[PROG]	Complete the process by pressing the [PROG] key.

Using the procedure shown in the table above, you may also use [F1] - [F4] to provide any multi-button sequence, such as having. [F1] turn on the TV, turn on the VCR, and play a tape... all with one button press.

You can also create “multi-string sequence,” where one button can cycle through a sequence of operations. Following is an example of creating a multi-string button sequence to have button [F1] cycle through three favorite channels: 2, 4, and 12:

Press	LED Flashes	Comment
[L/Mac]	1	Starts the sequence
[F1]	2
[0]	1
[2]	1

[L/MAC]	2	end of second string
[1]	1
[2]	1
[PROG]	3	Lock in string sequence

Smart Source^tm

Smart Source eliminates the usual need to push the [TV], [CBL/SAT] etc, button every time you want to change what you are doing. With Smart Source, you decide which entertainment device you wish to use for common functions. Smart Source classifies buttons of each common type together. Once you assign any button to a device, all the buttons of that type are automatically assigned. To set up Smart Source:

Step	Press	Comment
1	[TV], [CBL/SAT] etc.	Press the device button for the device you wish to select. The LED will flash once.
2	[PROG]	Thee LED will flash twice.
3		Press any button in the desired group. The LED will flash three times.

For example, to set up Smart Source to use the volume instructions to specifically control your TV, press [TV] - [PROG] - [V+]. To automatically select your cable box whenever you wish to change channels, press [CBL] - [PROG] - [C+]. To override Smart Source, press [SMART] (located inside the flip down door). The LED will flash once. To turn Smart Source back on, press [SMART] again. The LED will flash twice.

Memo Recorder

To record a voice memo, simply press and hold the [M-REC] button while you speak. To play back a recorded memo, press the [M-PLAY] button. Note: Pressing the [M-REC] button will erase any voice memo previously recorded.

Menu Lock-Out

Some conventional remote control buttons, such as “Menu” and “Guide” require the user to see the television or be experienced in their use. Accidently pressing these buttons can result in improper television or set-top box operation. Accenda offers users the ability to “lock-out” these buttons. The [LOCK] button disables the [GUIDE], [MENU], and [DISPLAY] buttons. When you press [LOCK], Accenda will respond with “Menu Locked.” Pressing [LOCK] again will re-enable these buttons.
