INSTALLING BATTERIES
(See illustration on opposite page)
1. On the back of the Dolphin Remote, remove
the screws that hold the battery cover in place
and lift off the battery cover.
2 Obtain two (2) fully-charged AA
alkaline batteries.
Match the + and – marks on the batteries to
the + and – marks in the battery case, then
insert the new batteries.
3. Press the battery cover back into place, being
careful to align it with the rubber seal.
4. Replace the screws that hold the battery cover
by carefully starting each one without tightening
it. Once they are all started, snug up one
screw and then do the same to the screw on
the opposite side of the door. Repeat this in a
crossing pattern until all screws are snug.
Do not overtighten them. This will assure an
adequate water seal around the battery cover.
5. Test the unit by pressing any mode key (e.g.,
TV, VCR/DVD, CBL/SAT, RCVR, SPA, or CD).
If the batteries are inserted correctly, the LED
will blink once.
NOTE:
Whenever batteries need to be replaced, the
Dolphin LED will blink twice with every key
press. Simply replace the batteries and the
remote will be restored to its full functionality,
complete with your favorite settings.

REASSIGNING DEVICE KEYS
The Dolphin can be set up to control a second
TV or VCR, or any combination of four home
entertainment components. For example, to have
the Dolphin control a TV, a Cable Converter, and
two VCRs, you will need to reassign the unused
RCVR key to operate the second VCR as follows:
1. On the Dolphin, press and hold SETUP until the
LED blinks twice, then release SETUP.
2. Enter 9 - 9 - 2. The LED will blink twice.
3. Press VCR once, then press RCVR once.
4. The RCVR key is now ready to be programmed
for your second VCR. (See Programming VCR Control on page 12.)
To reassign other device keys, repeat steps 1
through 4 by substituting the key sequence from
the following chart for a desired component:
To Reassign Perform Key Sequence
TV as 2nd VCR key: SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 - VCR - TV
TV as 2nd RCVR key:SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 - RCVR - TV
TV as 2nd CBL/SAT key: SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 - CBL/SAT - TV
RCVR back to RCVR: SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 - RCVR - RCVR
Upon completion of a reassignment, the LED will
blink twice to confirm your selection. At that time,
you will also need to program the Dolphin to
control the new component (as described earlier
in this document).
