SETTING UP YOUR BIG BUTTON™

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

Your BIG BUTTON™ requires 2 fresh AA-size batteries (alkaline batteries recommended).

1. Remove the battery cover on the back of your BIG BUTTON™.

2. Observe the polarity of the batteries and the “+/-” marks inside the battery compartment.

3. Insert the batteries.

4. Push the battery cover back in place.
Note: When all batteries are disconnected, the BIG BUTTON™ retains it’s settings for a

few hours. Should you fail to replace the batteries in time, you may have to reprogram.
See SETTING UP YOUR BIG BUTTON™ Section.

There are 5 Device Modes (TV, VCR, CBL/SAT, DVD and TIVO) in your BIG BUTTON™.
You may setup the BIG BUTTON™ by using device codes or by using power scan
(searching) instructions.

Important- If you are programming a TV/VCR Combo, try VCR codes first!

Program TIVO by using the DVD button and then entering codes.

USING DEVICE CODES

At-A-Glance:
MODE (3 sec) → digit→ digit→ digit

(e.g. for a Zenith TV, press and hold

"TV" button until LED starts blinking,

then press and release "0", "6", "9")

1. Referring to the DEVICE CODE LIST, look up the 3-digit Code Number that corre
sponds to the brand and models of your equipment. If there is more than one DEVICE
CODE listed under your brand, try the first code with the following instructions:

2. Hold down the Device Mode Button (e.g. TV) until the status LED indicator (located
above the "ON/OFF" button) begins to blink. (This takes about 3 seconds) Then
release the button.

3. Enter the three digit code of the DEVICE from step “l” above. Upon entry of the third
digit, the status indicator will blink a confirmation (3 blinks) if the code was accepted,
but will turn OFF immediately if the code was rejected. If rejected, try another code.

4. Try the functions on the BIG BUTTON™. If your device responds to your requested
function correctly, you have entered the correct Code. Otherwise, repeat the above
setup instructions with the remaining Device Codes until your device (e.g. TV)
responds to your requested function. Simply repeat the above procedures to enter the
Device Codes for your VCR, CBL/SAT, DVD or TIVO
(Remember to press Device Mode Button TV, VCR, CBL/SAT or DVD in step 2
above).

NOTES:

• If you cannot find a correct Device Code for your equipment, see USING POWER

SCAN (searching) section .

• It is highly recommended, to write down your Codes on the bottom label of your BIG

BUTTON™.
USING POWER SCAN (SEARCHING)

At-A-Glance:
MODE (3 sec) → ON/OFF → ARROW UP (▲) or ARROW DOWN (▼) → ENTER

2

If you cannot identify a correct Device Code for your equipment from the Device Code
List, you should try the POWER SCAN method.

1. Manually turn

on the device you wish to scan for (e.g. TV)

2. Perform Power Scan by pressing and holding (approximately 3 seconds) the desired
DEVICE MODE button TV, VCR, CBL/SAT or DVD until the status indicator light begins
to blink.

3. Press and release the ON/OFF(power) button. The status indicator light will stop blink
ing and stay ON at this point.

4. PRESS and RELEASE slowly and patiently the

blue UP (▲) button to scan forward
through the code database. To scan backward through the code database, press and
release the blue DOWN (▼) button. Each time you press the up or down arrow, the
remote will try and turn off the device (TV, VCR etc) you originally selected.

5. When the device (TV,VCR etc.) responds by shutting off, press the ENTER button. This

>

will store the code in memory and you will see three blinks of the status indicator light
to confirm the code input.

Be patient, there are over 100 codes to search through.

NOTE:

• Power Scan Model Check is the same as Power Scan, however, other keys may be
tested to see if they work with the target device without leaving the scan feature. If the
device responds to the other keys pressed, then the current ID will be locked in by press­ing the ENTER button. Otherwise, scanning may be continued by pressing either the blue
ARROW UP (▲) or ARROW DOWN(▼) buttons.

At-A-Glance:
