Your RadioShack 3- in-One Easy Remo te Control can replace up to three infrared remote controls. You can use it to control your TV, VCR, or
cable converter. Unlike some universal remote
controls, your remote control is preprogram med
with the most commonly used commands and
does not have to learn its commands from the
original remote controls. All you have to do is tell
it which TV, VCR, or cable converter’s remote
controls you want to replace (by ent ering 3-digit
codes).
This manual includes a list of many manufacturers’ 3-digit codes for TVs, VCRs, and cable converters.
Your remote control’s features include:
Powerful Infrared Beam
— so you can operate
your remote-controlled devices from a greater
distance than with many of the original remote
controls.
Glow-in-the-Dark Ke
— some of the remote
s
control’s keys glow so you can see them even in
a dimly lit room.
Hand
Reference Label
— provides a convenient place for you to write down the manufacturers’ codes for your devices.
Your RadioShack 3-in-One Easy Remote Control
was designed to control the most commonly used
functions on your TV, VCR, and cable converter.
When you set up the remote control, its command
keys work like the keys on yo ur original remote
controls. For example, the remote control’s
key works like a key on your original remote control which might be labeled POWER ON/OFF.

PREPARATION
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your remote control requires four AAA batteries
(not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend alkaline
batteries such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-555.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size
and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or different
types of batteries.
• Do not press any of the remote control’s
keys while installing batteries.
The remote control’s built-in memory back-
Note:
up saves any programmed codes for about a
minute after the batteries have been removed.
We recommend you have fresh batteries ready to
install as soon as you remove the old ones.
1. Press the battery compartment cover’s tab and lift off
the cover.
2. Place the batteries in the
compartment as indicated
by the polarity symbols (+
and
) marked inside.
–
3. Replace the cover.
When the remote c ontrol’s range decreas es or it
stops operating properly, replace the batteries.

• Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.

MANUFACTURERS’ CODES
The following list tells you which 3-digit codes to
enter to set up the remote control.
Notes:
• The remote control might not have every
command of your original remote controls.
• Use the supplied label to record the manu-
facturers’ codes for your remote-controlled
devices.
• A key on the remote control that has the
same name as a key on your original remote
control might have a slightly different function.
Your RadioShack 3-in-One Easy Remote Control
is an example of sup erior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care
for your remote control so you can enjoy it for
years.
Keep the remote control dry. If it gets
wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can co rrode the electronic circuits.
Handle the remote control gently
and carefully. Dropping it can d amage circuit boards and cases and
can cause the remote control to
work improperly.
Use and store the remote control
only in normal tem perature environments. Temperature extremes can
shorten the life of electronic devices,
damage batteries, and distort or melt
plastic parts.
Keep the rem ote control away from
dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Wipe the remote control with a damp
cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals,
cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the remote control.
Modifying or tampering with the remote control’s
internal components can cause a malfunction and
invalidate your remote control’s warranty. If your
remote control is not performing as it should, take
it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
