Congratulations on the purchase of this M1+ Universal Remote
Control. The M1+ is a digital universal remote control that is easy to
use and configure, enabling you to control virtually all your IR equipped
electronic devices.
One feature of the M1+ is the touch screen control panel, which
reduces the number of buttons on the device, making it easy for you to
find the function you want. You can control up to eight devices,
including a VCR, DVD, amplifier, TV, and LD/VCD.
The M1+ is easy to set up. With the “learning eye” you can quickly
configure each device in your household or office. In addition, with the
macro function, you can initiate a chain of up to 25 commands with the
touch of a button.
With the convenient and easy to use M1+, you can control all your
devices with one remote control solution. No longer will you have to
search for several different remotes!
The M1+ does it all!
NOTE
This manual will help you learn how to use all the advanced features of the
M1+. It will not explain how to use the functions for your devices! Please

Operating The M1+
This chapter will tell you how to set up the M1+, how to
automatically configure devices, and how to use the advanced features
such as the macros.
Before you use the learning function
Before you start configuring your remote controls using the learning
function, please heed the following precautions:
Don't configure more than one remote control for each device on
the M1+. For example, don't use one TV remote control for
some functions under the M1+'s TV device screen, and then use
a different TV remote control for other functions. Configure the
M1+'s device button using only one remote control for all the
buttons.
If you are going to configure a different remote control for an
M1+ device button after you have previously configured the
device button for a different remote control, first delete all the
commands for the device button. Refer to Using the delete bank
function on page 10.
When using the learning function, you must press each button
within 120 seconds. Otherwise, the M1+ will exit learning mode
and return to normal operation mode.
