noobe trying to remove learned codes

[scottfetsh]

ok so i found this old gateway remote and i saw a jp1 pin header in the batt compartment (this is good if i had a cable) i learned 18 codes into it now its full. now i need to start over but i can't figure out how to default it (remove learned codes) its a gateway ofr102.03 and it learns by pressing setup then entering 975 it can control 8 devices and is backlit
thanks for any help

THere are two reset commands, one is 981 and the other is 980.

The 981 is a full MFR RESET, and while this will delete the learned signals, it will also delete all of the additional codes that were loaded into the EEPROM for Gateway, so you shouldn't use this one.

The 980 is an OPS RESET, this one will also delete your learned signals but it will leave the additional codes in place, so use this one.

After you do the reset to remove the learned codes, you should READ the remote and save it away somewhere so that you don't lose the stuff that Rob mentioned.

He doesn't have a JP1 cable, otherwise I would have recommended taking a backup BEFORE doing any sort of reset, plus he would have been able to use IR.exe to just delete the learned signals, without deleting any other user-programming (such as keymoves and macros) which the 980 command will delete.

thanks got it working. the gateway monitor that it came with is in the garbage so i now have a new toy to play with probally going to build a serial cable adapter (have lots of that type of stuff arround "the sat geek i am").i will be back to ask more dumb questions.
