ave you ever played hide and
eek with your remote
control? Are you tired of tearing the house apart trying to find if
someone has stuffed the remote
under the couch, put it on the
shelves, or hid it in the desk? Well, your TV remote can save you all
that looking by automatically signaling its location to you.
Here's how it works:
[') Press the POWER button on
<
"the set to turn the TV ON.
Note: Normally you can press any button on the front of the TV to
tu:rn the set ON. But for the remote
locator to work you need to be sure to use the Power button at the TV.
'_,OCATING REMOTE" shows on the TV screen.
_ Within a few seconds a
chirping or beeping sound will begin to come from the remote
control hand unit. The remote will continue to signal
it.,;location for around 30 seconds.
Normal TV program sound will not Ix;heard while the remote locator is
working.
_Once find the remote justyou
press any button on the remote and the beeping sound will stop.
The remote is now ready for normal TV feature u_e.
,11.
Remember., the remote
locator may not properly receive its "homing" signal from the TV if it has been placed on a
metal shelf or counter material. Also, since there's a special type
of radio frequency "homing" signal receiver inside the remote we are required to notify you that any changes or modifications not
expressly approved by Philips Consumer Electronics Company
could void the user's authority to operate the remote equipment.
Remote Locator "homing"
range is around 30 Feet.

For most homes this step would not be needed but for your information:
Up to 9 different remote locator
address codes can be set on which the
TV can send out its "homing" signal. This is done in case there is more than
one TV (with a remote locator)
9resent, and you want only one
specific remote to be signaled when the
TV is turned ON.* To set a Locator Address Code:
<_ With TV turned ON, press the TV
System button first and then the
LOCATOR CODE button on the remote.
You will need a pencil or pen to press the recessed button.
The TV shows the present Remote Locator Code.
_,._ any (0-9) on
Press number button
the remote to set orchange the Locator
Code.
The remote will beep to let you know it has received the new Locator Code
and then return to its normal operating
mode.
Remember, if batteries are replaced the Locator Code will need to be
reentered. When setting the Locator Code if any
button, other than the number buttons,
are pressed the remote will return to its normal operation mode.
*For owners who live in an apartment
(townhouse or condominium) complex, this task may be necessary since the remote locator's signal can be sent and detected directly through
adjoining walls.

Cleaning and Care
CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or- TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen,
can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave an image permanently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF. Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.
