How to disable extender?

Hi,

It's often mentioned here that you should disable the extender if you want to "learn" signals from an OEM remote. Then build the learned codes into a new configuration and re-enable the extender.

What's the easiest way to disable the extender? Can it be done with a keypress on the remote itself? Does it require hooking up the JP1 cable and computer?

I have the 15-2117, recently installed Extender 3 on it.

Thanks!

Presuming you have already saved your current IR file, remove a battery, press any key, re-insert the battery, and conduct an MFR reset. Do your learning and decoding, then re-upload your IR image (presumably modified with your new device).

Or, if you saved the IR image from before the extender, just upload that.
