INTRODUCING Weemote®

Congratulations on the purchase of your Weemote®! The Weemote® has been designed for parents and children, ages 3-8.

Today’s remote controls allow your child to select any channel while others give you some control but are still too complex for children to operate. Plus, with the advent of digital cable services, your household is now potentially exposed to hundreds of channels. Parental control solutions like the V-chip are also complex and take away control of program content from the parent. The Weemote® is the result of countless hours trying to design a product to meet all of those challenges!

Since we all know that there is no substitute for parenting, think of your Weemote® as an aid in helping you control and manage what your children see on TV.

You will need to spend a few minutes to program the Weemote® for both the equipment you intend to use with it (TV and/or SET-TOP Box)

INTRODUCING weemote®

as well as your choice of favorite channels.

If you started reading this guide first, please refer to the Quickstart Installation Guide now to to begin setting up your Weemote®. This manual is used for reference only.

The next section of this guide is called “EQUIPMENT SETUP”. We suggest you review this section to determine that the Weemote® will work in your entertainment system.

Once you are finished setting up the weemote® and hand it to your child, they will be happy with their own remote and you will have had some control over their viewing habits.

Since the weemote® is programmable, don’t worry if you decide later to use the Weemote® with a different entertainment system or with different favorite channels. You can always go back and make changes.

In short, the Weemote® represents a true winwin situation for both parent and child! Kids love to have their own remote and parents get to make their own choices regarding TV viewing.

In some instances, you may not find a proper code that works with your TV or SET-TOP box. In this case, the Weemote® can send every code available in it’s library to see if one of them matches your equipment.

As a rule, you should not use this section until you have tried every code number listed for your brand TV or SET-TOP box. You should have already tried all the codes listed for your manufacturer located in this guide.

1. Turn on the TV or Set-Top box, depending on which device you are searching for.

2. Press the “TV” or “STB” button, depending on which device type you are searching for. After 3 seconds of pressing the button, the LED light starts to flash.

3. Press the “VOLUME UP” (top part of the long yellow button) about every 1/2 second until the TV or Set-Top box turns off. Every time you press the volume up button, the LED will flash once showing that a code has been sent to the TV or Set-Top box.

SEARCHING FOR YOUR CODE

IDENTIFYING YOUR CODE

times, there are over 100 possible codes that could work with your TV or Set-Top box. If you go past all the codes stored in the unit, the LED will flicker twice telling you that all the codes have been searched.

If you end up going too fast and passing by the right code, don’t worry. Turn the TV back on, go back to Step 2 and then at Step 3, instead of pressing the “VOLUME UP” button, press the “VOLUME DOWN” button to search backwards to find the proper code.

4. When you find the proper code that turns off your TV or Set-Top box, then press the “TV” or “STB” button to lock in the code, depending on which device code you were searching for. The LED should flash three times and then turn off.

5. Go back to the installation guide, Step 7 for TV’s or Step 11 for Set-Top boxes to finish your setup.

If you still have not found a match at this point, please send us a trouble report on our web site.

Once you have a working code, you can have the Weemote® read back to you the code number so you can write it down on the battery sticker provided.

To identify the code, proceed with the following steps. Be prepared to have a pencil or pen ready to write down the code.

STEP A: Press the “TV” button or press the “STB” button, depending on which code you are trying to identify, for about 3 seconds until the LED light flashes.

STEP B: Press the “TV” button or press the “STB” button again, depending on which code you are trying to identify.

STEP C: Upon release of the “TV” button or “STB” button, the LED light will “flash back” the code in the following manner.

The LED will provide a count by flickering the number of 100’s first, then pause and follow with a count of the number of 10’s, then pause and follow with a count of the number of 1’s. Any Zero number will be indicated by a fast flicker.

IDENTIFYING YOUR CODE

Using the example that the code is 102:

The LED will flicker once and then pause (100 X 1 = 100) THEN The LED will fast flicker and then pause (10 X 0 = 0). A fast flicker = 0 THEN The LED will flicker twice and then stop (1 X 2 =2). THEN THE LED WILL GO OUT COMPLETING THE SEQUENCE

STEP 7: WRITE THE CODE DOWN! Once you have a working code, please write down the number on the sticker located behind the battery cover.

DELETE FAVORITE CHANNELS

There may be cases where you want to delete one of more favorite channels currently setup in your weemote™.

HINT: You do not need to delete an existing favorite channel in order to replace it. Simply enter the new channel number in the Favorite Channel Number location, i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 you wish to replace as described on Page 7 of the Quickstart Installation Guide.

To delete or clear favorite channels:

STEP 1: Press the “FAV” for 3 seconds until the LED light flashes

STEP 2: Press the Favorite Channel Number button, i.e. 1 (Green), 2 (Blue), 3 (Orange), 4 (Pink), or 5 (Yellow) you want to delete two times. The LED light will flash three times and go out to confirm your selection.
