HOW IT WORKS

Power Button. This button automates the turning on of your

entertainment system based on TV and Set-Top (if applicable) code information you provide as well as other options you can set. This button normally turns on both your TV and Set-Top box and sets the TV to channel 3. If you are using a Set-Top box, you can have the TV turned on to a different channel or video port by changing the “TV Startup Mode option” as described in this guide. You can also have the weemote set to go to the first favorite channel (Green #1 whenever you press the power button (Powering up to Favorite Channel Option). If you are using a Set-Top box, you can also set the weemote to not turn your Set-Top box on and off whenever the power button is pressed (Set-Top Power On/Off Option).

Favorite Channels 1-5. Dedicated buttons that allow you to

program channel numbers from 1 to 9999 . You must program a minimum of one channel for the weemote® to operate and you can program the same channel on multiple buttons. When you define a Set-Top code, the weemote automatically routes all channel changing commands to the Set-Top’s tuner.

Volume Control. This button is normally active but can be

turned off in cases where you don’t want the user to control the volume signal.

Channel Up/Down Control. This button is factory set to

only allow the favorite channels to be selected. In this mode, favorite channels 7-10 are only accessible from this button, if defined. There are two other optonal settings available. You can either turn this control off altogether or allow it to select all available channels on your system (Adult Mode).

TV Button. TV Programming Mode. This button allows you

to program in the applicable code for your TV or TV/VCR unit.

STB Button. Set-Top Programming Mode. This button

allows you to program in the applicable code for your SetTop device.

FAV Button. Favorite Programming Mode. This button is

used to allow you to program in your favorite channels.

100, 10 and 1 Buttons. These buttons are used for entering

in your actual code numbers or channel numbers. In favorite program mode, the top portion of the channel up/down button is used to enter in 1000 numbers (4-Digit Channels).

1. If you have a cable-ready TV or TV/VCR.

COMPLETE Steps 1-9 in this guide

Please note that the weemote® is already loaded with the most popular Sony TV code.

2. If you have a cable-ready TV connected to a Set-Top box.

COMPLETE Steps 1-13 in this guide

Set-Top boxes are defined as cable TV boxes and satellite receivers such as DirecTV and Echostar.

Please note that we consider TiVo or Replay players as a Set-Top device in the weemote®.

3. If you only want to program your Set-Top box.

COMPLETE Steps 1-5 and 10-13 in this guide

Please note that if you only want all weemote® controls to be sent to the Set-Top box, you must clear the TV code already set in your weemote®. Please refer to the section called, “Clearing TV/Set-Top Codes”

NOTE: The weemote® will not work if you are using a separate VCR’s tuner as your method for changing channels on your TV. The weemote® will also not work with UHF (radio) based, longrange remote control systems. These systems allow you to control your Set-Top device without pointing the remote at the device or in another room.

Before you begin to program in your favorite channels or codes, here is a quick overview on the 100, 10 and 1 buttons. These

buttons allow you to program in the channels and codes you will need to setup the weemote®. To support channels above 999, we have also provided a means to enter in channels in the thousands range - see note at the bottom of this page.

Depending on which number you need, you simply break down that number by 1000’s, 100’s, 10’s and 1’s. For example, channel 294 would be entered by pressing the 100 button twice (100 X 2), the 10 button nine times (10 X 9) and the 1 button four times (1 X

4). See diagram below.

And don’t worry about zeros - the weemote® will add them in later. For example, if you need to enter channel 07 or 007 to get channel 7, just enter the number 7 (1 button seven times) and the weemote® will handle sending channel 07 or channel 007 if you need this option (3-Digit Option).

To enter in channel numbers in the thousands range, you would use the top portion of the channel up/down button to enter increments of 1000. This is covered in Step 4. For example, to enter in channel 8294, you would press the top portion of the channel up/down button 8 times (=8000), followed by entering the information shown in the diagram above.
