Note: Restoring the Factory Default Settings will ERASE all customized features, including renamed components, learned buttons, and macros. 1. On the remote control, press and hold the MAIN and STOP buttons at the same time. The bottom of the touch screen flashes “WARNING!”. NOTE: You now have 3 seconds to perform the next step. If a button is not pressed within 3 seconds, the RESET heading will revert to MAIN, indicating that the remote control is no longer in Reset mode. If this occurs, you will need to repeat this step to re-enter the Reset mode. 2. After about 10 seconds, “RESET” is displayed in the Menu name section at the top of the LCD touch screen. A new screen now displays with three options: ALL, PROG, and EXIT. Touching the EXIT option will leave the menu without making any changes. 3. Touch the ALL option. The remote will prompt you by displaying “SURE?”. After the SURE prompt is touched, the factory default settings are restored. 4. When the remote is done restoring the factory default settings, the menu heading reverts to MAIN. When the touch screen displays MAIN in the menu heading area, then the remote control is in normal operation mode again. OPTIONAL RF-1 RECEIVER The optional RF-1 Receiver utilizes the RF feature of the Lexicon remote control, allowing you to control components that are completely out-of-sight, up to 100-feet away. Since the RF-1 Receiver picks up the RV-5’s remote control radio frequency signal, the remote control no longer needs to be pointed directly at the components to control them. Now you can close your entertainment center doors, hide your components, and still control them with ease. The RF-1 Receiver accessory requires no setup to the Lexicon remote control in order for the feature to work - you need only place the RF-1 Receiver in the rack or cabinet, or attach an emitter to the RV-5 front panel over the IR receiver. Every time a command is sent from the remote control, it sends both a standard IR and an RF signal. The RF-1 Receiver automatically receives the remote’s radio signals and translates them into the infrared commands that control the components. Note: The Lexicon remote control radio signals will not control components directly. You must have the RF-1 Receiver installed to receive the remote’s radio signals. Components that came with “no pointing” radio remote controls cannot be operated by the Lexicon remote unless the component can be switched to standard IR via its internal menus. Some remote control ceiling fans are radio only and cannot be operated by the Lexicon remote.
