When you have retrieved the code of your set, jot
it down so that you can use it whenever needed.
After battery replacement, you may have to
programme the remote control again.
Learning function
If th e make of th e device yo u wish to control is not in
the separate code list or if some functions are missing
in th e code yo u have progra mmed, yo u can copy
the key functions of the original re mote control of
the device int yo ur RO C 4238. Depending on the
format of th e transmission codes of the original re mote
control, yo ur RO C 4238 re mote control can memor
up to 15 0 ke ys.
Global delete – Delete all the ke ys copied (this is
recommended the fi rst time you use this function)
1. Hold down th e SETUP key until th e key
corre sponding to th e last select mode re mains lit.
2. Re lease th e SETUP key
3. Press twice on th e LEARN . key. The mode key goes
out and th en re lights.
4. Press once on th e SETUP key. The mode key goes
out afte r severa l seconds.
5. All th e copied keys ar e now delete d.
Before starting
• The batteries in th e 2 re mote controls must be in
good condition; ch ange th em if necessary.
• First copy 2 or 3 key s from th e original re mote
control in order to ch eck th e compatibility of th e
codes of bot h re mote controls. Then carry out a
global delete of th ese keys before star th e full
learning procedure.
• Lay out th e original re mote control and yo ur RO C
4238 end to end so as to align th e LED diodes
on th e 2 re mote controls. Where necessar adjust
the height of bo th remote controls so th at the LED
diodes are properly aligned.
• Place th e re mote controls with th e infrared diodes
on a ta ble so th at they point eac ot her at a
distance between 15 and 50 mm.
• Do not move th e re mote controls during th e
learning procedure.
• Ensure th at th e ro om is not lit by fl uorescents tubes
or low consumpt ion lamps since such light sources
can interfere wit th e copying.
• The 2 re mote controls must be at least one metre
away from any light source.
• Av oid copying VO and keys codes and th e play
keys since depending on th e re mote controls th e
codes of th ese keys do not necessar control th e
same devices.
• When th e memor of yo ur RO C 4238 is full, th e
mode key will blink fo r 3 seconds. It is th en not
possible to copy any more codes wit fi rst
carry ing out a global de lete.
• When yo u copy a key , it is possible th at th e mode
key will blink fe ebly. In th is case, do not re lease th e
key and wa it until th e blinking stops.
Note 1: if th e learning procedure does not seem to
work corre ctly, tr the following:
1. End th e learning procedure by pressing SETUP .
2. Check th at th e LEDs of th e two re mote controls
are properly aligned. Carry out th e alignment
procedure.
3. Modify th e dista nce between th e re mote controls,
increasing or re ducing th e dista nce from 1. 5 cm to
5 cm.
4. Restart th e procedure from th e beginning.
5. If th e problem persists and alway s with th e same
key, check th at th e original re mot control is
actually operating: is it sending IR signals? (check
batteries; is it corre ctly aligned in re lation to th e
diode on yo ur RO C 4238?)
Note 2:
• Yo u cannot copy ke ys to th e LEARN SETUP and
MODE keys.
• All th e ke ys copied to a mod e will be deleted
if a 4 fi gure code is ent fo r th is mode (and
likew ise fo r direct entry of a code, search of a
code or make).
Identifying the position of the diode on the
original remote control (keys to copy)
