Congratulations on your purchase of the 20309 Universal Remote
Control. The 20309 is one of the most easy to use remote controls
available today. With the 20309, juggling multiple remote controls
is a thing of the past! Your 20309 controls up to six devices,
including the most popular brands of TV, VCR, DVD, SAT, CBL, and
audio equipment.

The 20309 BACKLIGHT button lights up the remote’s buttons, which
stay lit until 5 seconds after you stop pressing buttons.

Note: Some functions from your original remote may not be
controlled by this remote. Use the original remote, if available, to
control such functions. Sometimes buttons other than described in
these instructions may actually perform the function. For example,
the CHAN and VOL buttons might be used to navigate through
menu choices. We recommend you experiment with the remote to
identify if such situations pertain to your equipment.

Setup

Battery Installation

1. On the back of the remote, push down on the tab and lift the
cover off.

2. Match the batteries to the + and - marks inside the battery
case, then insert 2 AAA Alkaline batteries.

3. Press the battery cover back into place.

Battery Saver

Your remote automatically turns off if the buttons are depressed
more than 30 seconds. This will save your batteries should your
remote get stuck in a place where the buttons remain depressed
(e.g., between the sofa cushions).

Code Saver

You will have up to 10 minutes to change the batteries in your
remote without losing codes you have programmed. However, do
not press any buttons until batteries are installed in the remote. If
buttons are pressed without batteries in the remote, all codes will
be lost.

Code Setup

The SETUP button is used to setup the remote. You can
either setup the remote using the code for your brand of
product, from the code tables (on separate sheet), or you
can search through the library of codes until you find a
code that works for your product. Please refer to “Programming
with Code Search” page 9 for more information on using the code
search feature to learn how to search through the library of codes
for your products. NOTE: You can store any kind of code under any
mode (except TV). I.E. you can store a VCR code under the CBL/SAT
button, or a DVD code under the VCR button, etc. However, you can
only store TV codes under the TV button.
