1. A method for presenting a size of a writeable memory within a universal remote control, comprising:
- invoking a diagnostic routine within the universal remote control which measures a size of the writeable memory; and
causing an LED of the universal remote control to blink one of a predetermined number of times each being correlated to a different measurable memory size to thereby present an indication of the size of the writeable memory as measured by the diagnostic routine.

Abstract
A system and method for measuring and presenting a size of a memory within a universal remote control. The described system and method allows a user to place a universal remote control into an operational mode wherein it measures a size of memory and reports the measured memory by means of an audio or visual indication.

3. A method for presenting a size of a writeable memory within a universal remote control, comprising:
-
invoking a diagnostic routine within the universal remote control which measures a size of the writeable memory; and causing a speaker of the universal remote control to emit a sound one of a predetermined number of times each being correlated to a different measurable memory size to thereby present an indication of the size of the writeable memory as measured by the diagnostic routine. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
