URC7556 in strange / undocumented blinking episode
Posted: Wed Aug 18, 2010 4:43 pm
Hi there - this seems like a basic question, about a JP1 remote, but I've not attached a cable to it yet. I have a URC7556 One For All remote, and after reprogramming a bit after moving house, it has started to behave oddly.
Every other button push, whether a mode select or button push, causes the relevant signal to be emitted, but the remote blinks about 5-6 times afterwards, and refuses to accept any further button pushes during that time. I can hold the button down, and it will continue to send the signal, but when I let go it blinks at me.
The magic button doesn't work any more - holding it down causes one long blink instead of the expected two, and it resumes its previous behaviour.
So in this state, I can't try an Operational Reset described in the manual, and it doesn't give me a clue what mode I might have accidentally put it in. Does anyone know what my remote is trying to tell me? All the commands still work, but it's suddenly maddeningly difficult to use.
