familiar with your RadioShack Universal Remote.
Thank you for buying a RadioShack remote and

Setup Setup, cont.
Installing Y our Batteries
1 . On the back of the remote,
push down on the tab and
lift off the cover .
2 . Insert two AAA alkaline
batteries matching the
polarity (+ and -) marked
inside.
3. Replace the battery cover.
Battery Saver
Y our remote automatically
turns off if the buttons are
depressed more than 30
seconds. This saves your
batteries in case your remote
gets stuck in a place where the
buttons remain depressed
(e.g., between the sofa
cushions).
TV V olume/Mute Punch-Through Feature
The TV Volume/Mute punch-through feature lets you
control the Volume and Mute function of your TV in any
mode programmed to be a VCR, DVD, CABLE or SA T
device, without needing to change to TV mode.
VCR/DVD Punch-Through Feature
Punch-through to VCR/DVD mode i.e. the 6 keys (PLAY,
P AUSE, STOP, FF, REWIND, and REC) is only allowed
in modes programmed for TV or Cable codes.
Code Setup
The CODE SEARCH button is used to setup the remote.
You can either setup the remote using the code for your
brand of product, from the code tables (on separate
sheet), or you can search through the library of codes
until you find a code that works for your product.
Please refer to “Programming with Code Search” on page
11 for more information on using the code search feature
to learn how to search through the library of codes for
your products.
Code Saver
You will have up to 10 minutes to change the batteries
in your remote without losing the codes you have
programmed. However, do not press any buttons until
batteries are installed in the remote. If buttons are
pressed without batteries in the remote, all codes will be
lost.
Power-On Default
The remote powers on in TV mode.
NOTE: You can store any kind of code under any mode
(except TV). I.E. you can store a VCR code under the
SAT/CBL button, or a Cable code under the VCR/DVD
button, etc. However, you can only store TV codes
under the TV button.
