Congratulations on your purchase of the 24962
Universal Remote Control. The 24962 is one of the
most easy to use remote controls available today.
With the 24962, juggling multiple remote controls is
a thing of the past! Your 24962 controls up to three
devices, including the most popular brands of TV,
DVD, Satellite, Cable, etc.

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.

The 24962 is easy to use, easy to program, and
it gives you total control—at the touch of your
ngertips!

 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 nd a code that works for
your product. Please refer to “Code Search” page
8 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 DVR code under the SAT/CBL
button, or a cable code under the DVD button, etc.
However, you can only store TV codes under the
TV button.
