Modem Upgrade Procedure
Selected UEIC-manufactured JP1/JP1.X remotes are also modem-upgradeable, via a built-in internal modem. These include models like the URC-9910, 9960 and others. You can call one of the support phone numbers below to get a modem upgrade or make your own wav files using JP1 software (IR or RMIR) and play them through your computer speaker. Just select "Export To WAV" from the File menu in the JP1 software to create the wav file.
The procedure for adding a modem upgrade is frequently not available in the manuals, but is only provided when you call customer support and they walk you through it. Here are the procedures for installing a wav upgrade:

For remotes with LCD screens, like the URC-8910
- Press and hold SET (or MAGIC, SETUP, etc), screen reads "CODE SET"

- Cue up the WAV file so it's ready to play on your PC

- Press and hold setup for 3 seconds
- Press other (Kameleons only)
