Congratulations on your purchase of the 24991
Universal Remote Control. The 24991 is one of the
most easy to use remote controls available today.
With the 24991, juggling multiple remote controls is
a thing of the past! Your 24991 controls up to three
devices, including the most popular brands of TV,
VCR, DVD, SAT, CBL, and audio equipment.

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 24991 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 “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 CABLE button, or a DVD
code under the SAT button, etc. However, you can
only store TV codes under the TV button.

Button Functions

are referred to by different names on the device you

or ENTER may be called DISPLAY. These differences
depend on the brand and model of your product. Also,
this remote can only operate features that exist on your
product. E.G., your product must have PREV CH ability
for the PREV CH button to operate this feature.
