User’s Manual

BW-0561-RD

Your Tek Partner Universal Remote
Control is a state of the art device that
integrates many different infrared (IR)
remote controls into one. The Tek Partner
is pre-programmed at the factory so all you
need to do is follow the instructions in this
manual and you will be ready to go! The
Tek Partner replaces up to 4 separate
remote controls to operate your television
(TV), video cassette recorder (VCR),
digital video disc (DVD) and cable box or
satellite receiver (CBL/SAT). Once
programmed, the Tek Partner functions just
like your original remote control. Just aim
the Tek Partner at your device and press the

desired functions. It’s that easy! In

addition, the Tek Partner has large, soft
buttons that illuminate bright red when they
are pressed. No other remote control is as
user friendly as the Tek Partner.
