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,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 14.

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.

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.

8-IN-ONER

EMOTEPOWEREDBYKAMELEON

HOW KAMELEON™ WORKS (Continued)

Several devices have a second menu that can be accessed using SCREEN (see Device Menu Screens, starting on page 45). 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 Adju stin g Brightness on page 13).

• Disabling the Kameleon “tilt on” feature (see Setting The Tilt Switch on page 38).

• Disabling the Kameleon Finder feature (see Setting The Finder Receiver on page 39).

INSTALLING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE

Your remote requires four AAA batteries (not supplied) for power.

4 How Kameleon Works/Installing Batteries

WNER’SMANUAL

1. Push forward 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 38) 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 misplaced 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 for power. For best performance and longest life,we recommend using a RadioShack alkaline battery.

ABOUT THE FINDER TRANSMITTER (CONTINUED)

INSTALLING A BATTERY 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 battery and harness into the compartment.

3. Align the cover with the compartment 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.

2. Press and hold the Finder Transmitter’s button until the lost RadioShack 8-in-One Remote emits a 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 39) and the battery is fresh.

A QUICK LOOK AT THE CONTROLS

Use the illustration on the next page to locate controls and then study the Key Functions to learn how they function.

NOTE: The illustration shows all remote control keys. In actual operation,only active keys used by the selected device are displayed and non-active keys are hidden. These controls work like the ones found on your original remote controls.

To find out what type of devices can be controlled by each device key after programming,see the Device Table on page 12.
