Any of the Display buttons, the Power On or the Power Off buttons (on any Device or Page) can be set to be Macro buttons!To setup a macro button, follow these easy steps: 1 Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both the MAIN and ENT buttons for three seconds. Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the Customizer will time out automatically. 2 Press the MACRO button. Navigate to the Device and Page where there is a button you would like to set as a Macro button using the MAIN, DEVICE, and PAGE buttons. Advanced Options: If you wish to set one of the DEVICE buttons as a macro, on step 3, press the Page Up button twice. The top of the display changes to MAIN, and you can navigate to MAIN page 1 or page 2 before going on to Step 4. Another option for DEVICE button macros is to only send the macro if the button is pressed and held. The amount of delay determines how long the user must press the button before the macro is sent. The advantage of this option is that a normal press of the DEVICE button will simply switch devices without issuing the macro. 3 20 URC-300 4 Press the button you want to set as a Macro button. The top of the screen will display the label of the button you selected. [. . . ] When you point the Customizer at the components, expect the range to be between 30 and 50 feet. When the remote is not pointed in the general direction of the components, the range will vary (depending on reflective surfaces, lighting, etc. ). By purchasing the optional Expander (a radio receiver), you can operate your equipment with the Customizer 50 to 100 feet away (through walls, doors, cabinets, inside or outside). Since the Expander picks up the Customizer's radio signals from any direction, regardless of distance, the Customizer doesn't have to be pointed! [. . . ]
