michael ,the remote is supposed to do that anytime you press one of the lcd buttons to learn a code it will flash name/learn.it will not let you learn any of the hardbutton codes again until you leave the name/learn screen and loop back thru to regular learn again.i always learn all my names on the lcd first then go back and learn the codes in the lcd after.i you have any questions e-mail me.I've done many rc-2000s and know all the tricks
