The RC027 remote has been designed as a direct
replacement for existing digital satellite receiver remote
controls (eg Sky™ and Sky+™)*. All functions are the same
and the layout mirrors that of original remotes to make life
as easy as possible for the user. The RC027 is fully
preprogrammed to operate all digital satellite receivers.
The RC027 will also operate the basic functions of many
popular TVs, after the correct code has been entered, see
"How to set up your RC027" (page 3).
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of your RC027.
2. Insert the batteries ensuring that the polarity
corresponds with the markings in the battery
compartment.
3. Push the battery cover back in place.
Please Note
The TV code set-up procedure will cancel itself if no keys are
pressed for more than 10 seconds (in order to protect your
code against accidental re-programming, and to conserve
battery power). Therefore we advise you to read the
following instructions and to familiarise yourself with the
procedures, before attempting to program your RC027 to
operate TV functions.

How to set up your RC027
The RC027 has 3 Device Modes (T V, DIG & DIG+)
The TV section of your RC027 can be set-up either by
entering the appropriate codes from the list of codes
supplied or by using the TV Setup by Library Search
facility. Instructions for these two methods follow.
PLEASE NOTE: When you input codes in the list use the CH-,
CH+, V-, V+, and 'mute' keys. See the conversion table below.

listed for your brand. If there is more than one code listed
for your brand, start with the first code listed and follow
the instructions below:

6 Try the keys on your RC027 that correspond to similar keys
on your original remote control, especially those you use
most. (Note that the RC027 will exit the set-up sequence
if you do not press any keys on the RC027 for more than
10 seconds). If your TV works on all or most of the keys on
your RC027, you have entered a suitable Device Code and
it will have been stored automatically. (Note: Your RC027
will only operate functions controlled by your original
remote nor are the supplied codes guaranteed to operate
all these functions)
TV set up by library search
1. Turn on your TV
2. Press the TV key, the STATUS INDICATOR LED flashes once.
3. Hold down both POWER and MUTE keys on your RC027
simultaneously until the STATUS INDICATOR LED lights up
and stays red (about 4 seconds)
4. Release the POWER and MUTE keys the STATUS INDICATOR
LED should still be lit. If not repeat step 3.
5. Press CH+ key down for 2 seconds, the STATUS INDICATOR
LED will start to flash as the RC027 sends library codes
one by one automatically until the TV changes to the
next TV channel. When you see the channel change, press
the TV key once to stop the Library Search. Now try the
keys on your RC027 that correspond to similar keys on
your original remote, especially those you use most.
NOTE: If you accidentally skipped a code that changed the
channel on your TV, you can go one code back by pressing
the Mute key.
6. Once you are happy with the code found, press and hold
down the TV key for 4 seconds until the STATUS
INDICATOR LED switches off and the code is stored.
7. If no keys are pressed within 10 seconds, the STATUS
INDICATOR LED will switch off and and the RC027 will exit
the search sequence automatically.

RC027 will exit the setup sequence.

Operating the RC027
Once you have set up your RC027, it should operate similarly
to your original remote control and perform most or all of
the main functions. To operate, just aim it at your equipment,
press the appropriate DEVICE INDICATOR key and press the
required function key. The DEVICE INDICATOR flashes
during signal transmission to confirm that a function key is
in operation.
Please Note: The RC027 can only duplicate functions that are
on your original remote control. Any extra keys on the RC027
which are not on the original will not function.
Recording device codes
It is recommended that you record your device code in case
it is lost from storage when the batteries run out or
are changed.

Maintenance
LOW BATTERY LEVEL
If the indicator flashes twice slowly after pressing a key
function, the battery level is low and you will need to fit new
batteries. If the batteries are removed, your RC027 will retain
its memory for approximately 10 minutes only.
• Do not use old and new batteries together as old
batteries tend to leak.
• We do not recommend the use of rechargeable batteries.
• Please follow manufacturers instructions when disposing
of used batteries
• Do not expose the RC027 to dust, strong sunlight,
humidity, high temperature or mechanical shock.
• Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleansers on your RC027.
• Keep the unit dust free by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not disassemble your RC027, it contains no user
serviceable parts.
