INTRODUCTION
Your RadioShack 7-in-One IR/RF Remote Control can replace up to seven infrared remote controls. You can use it to control your TV, VCR, cable converter, satellite receiver, CD player, tuner, phonograph, video accessory, digital audio tape, cassette, laser disc player, or DVD player.
Unlike some universal remote controls, this remote control is preprogrammed 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 device’s remote controls you want to replace (by entering 4-digit codes).
This manual includes a list of many manufacturers’ 4-digit codes for your devices. After you enter the codes for your original remotes, the 7-in-One IR/RF Remote is ready to operate the original remotes’ most used functions.
The 7-in-One transmits both infrared (IR) and radio frequency (RF) signals, so you don’t need to be within “line-of-sight” to control devices. With the supplied IR/RF Command Center, you can use the remote to control devices in any room of your home.

PREPARATION
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your RadioShack 7-in-One requires four AAA batteries (not supplied), available at your local RadioShack store.
Cautions:
•Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
•Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
To install the batteries:
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.
If the batteries are installed correctly and the red indicator does not light when you press POWER, replace the batteries.
Note: Removing the batteries will not require you to reprogram your remote control because the 7-in-One IR/RF Remote Control has unlimited memory backup.
Cautions:
•Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
•Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
