NOTE: The I-TV requires four (4) new “AAA”
alkaline batteries (not supplied). Do not mix
old and new batteries or mix alkaline with
manganese-type batteries.
4. Test the unit by pressing POWER and any
Component key (e.g., TV,VCR, CBL, etc.).
If the batteries are inserted correctly, the
red indicator light will blink once.
Installing Batteries
1. On the back of the remote control, push
the tab and lift the battery compartment
cover off.
2. Match the + and – marks on the batteries
to the + and – marks in the battery case
and insert four (4) “AAA”alkaline batteries.
3. Press the battery cover back into place.
The tab should click when the cover is
locked.
Battery Saver
The I-TV has a Time-Out feature that will
automatically deactivate the remote control if
a key is depressed for more than 30 seconds.
This feature will help conserve the battery life
should your remote control get stuck in a
place where keys remain depressed (e.g.,
between the sofa cushions).
Replacement And Code Saver
When the batteries need replacing, the I-TV
remote control will stop working and will
require four (4) new “AAA”alkaline batteries
for continued operation. Once you remove
the old batteries, program settings and
codes will be saved for 10 minutes, allowing
adequate time to insert new ones.

OPERATING YOUR REMOTE CONTROL
The I-TV Universal Remote Control is
designed to be an enhanced replacement for
your original remote control.Although most
keys operate the same (see Key Charts on
page 3), some do differ or provide unique
features as described below.
I-TV Key
The I-TV key works just like the MENU key of
your original remote control and allows you
to access the on-screen menu of the component you have selected (e.g.,TV, VCR, DVD,
LD,CBL, or DSS).
Moreover, while in the I-TV mode, the VOL+,
VOL–, CH+,and CH– keys* will allow you to
navigate and adjust the on screen menu settings just like you would with your original
remote control.
To exit out of I-TV mode, either press I-TV
again or EXIT (depending on how the origi-
nal remote control functioned) to return to
normal operation.
*NOTE: If your component’s On-Screen menu
requires the use of the Volume and Channel
keys to navigate and change the On-Screen
menu settings, press
Screen menu is displayed.

GUIDE Key
The GUIDE key works just like the GUIDE key
of your original remote control and allows
you to access the On-Screen guide* of the
component you have selected (e.g. CBL,DSS,
and some newer TVs).
While in the Guide mode, the VOL+, VOL–,
CH+,and CH– keys* will allow you to navi-
gate Up, Down, Left and Right just like you
would with your original remote control.
To exit out of the Guide mode, either press
GUIDE key again or EXIT (depending on how
the original remote control functioned) to
return to normal operation.
NOTE: *On-Screen guide is an interactive
channel listings menu that is available on
