INTRODUCTION
The RadioShack 8-in-One Remote powered by
Kameleon™ is a revolutionary universal remote
control that uses Universal Electronics’Kameleon
Technology. It is designed to control up to eight
home entertainment devices,including TV, video,
and audio components.
After installing four (4) new AAA alkaline
batteries (not included), you can immediately
use the remote to control an RCA TV,VCR, DVD
Player,and Satellite Receiver, a Motorola Cable
Box,a Tivo PVR (DVR),and a Pioneer CD Player
and Audio Receiver.To control other brands,
please perform the instructions in Programming
A Device on page 10.
HOW KAMELEON
™
WORKS
The RadioShack 8-in-One Remote Powered By
Kameleon provides the versatility of an LCD
remote control with the feel of a traditional
push button unit.The result is a stunning,
bright display with engaging animation and
touch-sensitive graphics for the user.
2 Table Of Contents/Introduction
8-IN-ONE REMOTE POWERED BY KAMELEON
RS Kameleon 8in1 UG 7/9/03 1:02 PM Page 2
The remote control includes convenient Menu
Driven programming.The displays are divided
into two types of interactive screens: Device Menus
for normal remote control use,and Programming
Menus for feature setup.Acting like its namesake,
Kameleon changes the Device Menu for the device
being selected. For example,selecting TV displays
a main menu that contains channel selection,
volume control,and a keypad.However, selecting a
DVD player still displays a menu with those same
keys as the TV, but now navigation keys and
transport controls are added for the DVD device.
Several devices have a second menu that can be
accessed using SCREEN (see Device Menu Screens,
starting on page 32).For example, TV has two
menus: a main menu with extra feature keys for
COM MUTE,+100,ENTER, SLEEP, TV/VCR,and PIP
functions, and a second menu screen that adds
navigation keys but removes the extra feature keys.
This way a user has the flexibility to use any menu
screen that works best for the selected device.
NOTE:Even though SCREEN is displayed in all modes,
only TV, CD,and AUD modes have a second menu screen.
Animated key graphics also provided enhanced
operational feedback,so the user can easily see
what mode is active and when the commands
are communicating with a device.The end result
of Kameleon technology is a simple, elegant, and
intelligent way of organizing a large number of
remote control keys for eight different devices.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
BATTERY USE AND SAFETY
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size
and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,different
types of batteries (e.g., standard,alkaline, or
rechargeable),or rechargeable batteries of
different capacities.
• If you do not plan to use the remote for an
extended period, remove the batteries.
They can leak chemicals that can destroy
electronic parts.
WARNING: Dispose of old batteries promptly and
properly.Do not burn or bury them.
ABOUT BATTERY LIFE
As with all battery-operated devices,battery life
will vary depending on use, including frequency
and duration of key presses on the Kameleon
screen. Battery life may be extended by:
• Reducing the brightness level of the display
screen (see Adjusting Brightness on page 9).
• Disabling the Kameleon “tilt on” feature
(see Setting The Tilt Switch on page 26).
• Disabling the Kameleon Finder feature
(see Setting The Finder Receiver on page 27).
INSTALLING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE
Your remote requires four AAA batteries (not
supplied) for power.

INSTALLING BATTERIES
INSTALLING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE (CONT’D)
1. Press down on the battery compartment
cover (on the back of the remote) and lift
it off.
2. Slide the AAA batteries into the compartment
as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –)
shown above.
3. Align the cover with the compartment
opening and slide it back into place.
4. If batteries are inserted correctly, the display
will turn on and show all keys.If a key is
not pressed after 7 seconds, the display will
turn off.
NOTE: The batteries will need replacement if one of
the following conditions occurs:
1. The top IR segment flashes five times after pressing
a key.
2. The Tilt Switch (if enabled, see page 26) no longer
activates the remote and only pressing a key turns
on the display.
ABOUT THE FINDER TRANSMITTER
NOTE: If you do not plan to use the Finder Transmitter,
store it away for future use and skip this section.
Included in the package is a Finder Transmitter
that you can use to audibly locate a lost or mis-
placed RadioShack 8-in-One Remote. The unit
also comes with double-sided “hook and loop”
tape for use in mounting it on a TV cabinet side or
other surface.
The Finder Transmitter requires a 9-volt battery
(not supplied) for power. For best performance
and longest life,we recommend using a
RadioShack alkaline battery.
INSTALLING A BAT TERY IN THE FINDER TRANSMITTER
1. Press down on the battery compartment
cover (on the front of the Finder Transmitter)
and slide it off.
2. Locate the snap harness and connect the 9-volt
battery to mating terminals.Then insert the

opening and slide it back into place.
OPERATING THE FINDER TRANSMITTER
1. Point the Finder Transmitter in the general
direction of the lost RadioShack 8-in-One
Remote.Press and hold its button.
2. The lost RadioShack 8-in-One Remote will
emit an chirping sound to help you find it.
NOTE: If the RadioShack 8-in-One Remote does not
emit a chirping sound, verify the Finder Receiver is
enabled (see page 28) and the battery is fresh.

USING LEARNING
The RadioShack 8-in-One Remote includes a
Learning feature so you can add functions that
are unique to your home entertainment devices
(e.g.,VCR Tracking Up or Down). However,
there are some considerations:
LEARNING PRECAUTIONS
• Your original remote controls must be in
working order for learning to work properly.
• Learned keys are mode specific,so each one
can store a unique function for each mode.
• Learned keys can be used in macros (see
Using Macros on page 18).
• Do not use the following keys for learning:
P, SCREEN,M1 ~ M4, FAV SCAN,COM SKIP,
COM MUTE, or any Device Key.
• Learning capacity is approximately 16 to 25
keys,depending on the code being learned.
• If both learned and keymoved functions
are assigned to the same key, the last
programmed function will be stored.
• A learned function cannot be used as a
source for Keymover (see Using Keymover on
page 20).
• Certain device codes are not learnable,
including multi-frequency types, some
high-frequency ones, and other unusual
formats.
• For optimum learning, avoid high levels of
ambient light such as natural sunlight or
energy-efficient fluorescent lights.
NOTE: Please have your original remote controls
handy before programming learning. Be sure to press
each teaching key within 5 seconds of the previous
entry. Otherwise, the RadioShack 8-in-One Remote
will exit the programming mode.
PROGRAMMING A LEARNING KEY
1. Press and hold P until the bottom IR segment
flashes twice. The program keys will appear:
2. Press IR LEARN once. The IR Learn
programming screen will appear:
3. Press a device key once (i.e.,CBL, SAT,TV,DVD,
AUD, VCR,AUX,or CD) to assign a mode for
learning. The selected device menu screen,
including ,will be displayed.
4. Place the RadioShack 8-in-One Remote
head-to-head (about 2" apart, as shown on
the next page) from your original remote
control.Also locate the key (on your original
remote control) that will serve as the teaching
function.
