Congratulations on your purchase of the RM24977
Universal Remote Control. The RM24977 is one of
the most easy to use remote controls available
today. With the RM24977, juggling multiple remote
controls is a thing of the past! Your RM24977
controls up to four devices, including the most
popular brands of TV, VCR, DVD, CBL, SAT, 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 RM24977 is easy to use, easy to program, and
it gives you total control—at the touch of your
fingertips!
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 CODE SEARCH button is used to setup the
remote. You can either setup the remote using 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 “Pro-
gramming 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 VCR button, etc. However, you
can only store TV codes under the TV button.
