INSTALLING BATTERIES

Your remote requires four AAA batteries (not supplied) for power.For the
best performance and longest life, we recommend using RadioShack
alkaline batteries.

CAUTIONS:

• 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.

TO INSTALL BATTERIES:

1. Press the tab on the battery compartment cover (located on the back
of the remote) and lift off the cover.

2. Place the AAA batteries in the compartment as indicated by the
polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

3. Align the cover key with the compartment opening and replace the cover.

4. If batteries are inserted correctly, the entire LCD will turn on.After
5 seconds of inactivity,the remote control will turn itself off to con­serve battery life.

5. Perform the steps in Setting The Clock (on the right) to set the correct time.

NOTE: When a battery icon appears in the display (see page 4,“Key Functions”),
the batteries are low. Simply replace them as soon as possible and the remote will be
restored to full functionality, complete with your favorite settings.

USING LEARNING

The 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:

• Your original remote controls must be in working order for the

learning feature 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 13).

• You can also use any key for learning,except device keys,P,,and

POWER. However,using them as learned keys will overwrite their
original functions.

• 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 key within 5 seconds of the previous entry.If not,
the remote will exit the programming mode.

REASSIGNING DEVICE KEYS

The remote can be set up to control a second TV, VCR, DVD player, or
other device not listed on the device keys.For example, to control a TV, a
cable converter, and two VCRs,you can reassign the unused AUX key to
operate the second VCR as follows:

1. Find the codes for the device you want to program in
Manufacturer’s Codes (starting on page 48) and write them
down or highlight them.For this example,locate the VCR
codes on page 52.

2. Turn on a device (e.g.,VCR) and, if necessary,load media
(e.g., videocassette).

before starting step 2.

3. On the remote,press AUX once.Then press and hold P until
the display changes from the current AUX device and code
(e.g., RCVR and 1023) to [CODE SET].

NOTE: Default values for device, its code, and time are shown
above.Your remote control settings may be different.

NOTE: If you wish to exit the programming mode at any time, press
EXIT once. An [EXIT] message appears as the remote control returns
to normal operation.

NOTE:Ifan [INVALID] message appears,you have inadvertently
pressed an incorrect key. Simply note your error and continue
programming.

4. Press SELECT once to begin programming. The last-selected
device and its current code (e.g.,RCVR and 1023) appear.

5. Use

USING THE IR/RF COMMAND CENTER

The remote package includes an IR/RF Command Center which receives
radio-frequency (RF) signals from the remote control, anywhere in your
home,up to 100 feet away.Once it is set up,the IR/RF Command Center
will convert the RF signals into Infrared (IR) signals to control your home
entertainment devices.

NOTE: The remote transmits both an IR and an RF signal simultaneously. It is your
option whether you want to install the IR/RF Command Center for extended remote
control range. If you choose to do so,during testing do not aim the remote at your
home entertainment devices to verify that RF transmission is working.

NOTE: The RF signal transmitted by the remote,only works with the IR/RF
Command Center.

SETTING UP THE IR/RF COMMAND CENTER

1. Find a location approximately 8 feet in front of your home
entertainment devices.It should provide (line-of-sight)
access to your equipment and a power outlet to plug in the
IR/RF Command Center.

2. Plug in the IR/RF Command Center’s power cord into an
active outlet and raise the telescoping antenna.

Te l e s c o p i n g
Antenn a

IR Lens

3. Position the IR/RF Command Center so the black IR Lens is
aimed at your home entertainment devices.

4. To test the IR/RF Command Center, take the remote into
another room in your home,up to100 feet away. Select a
device key (e.g.,TV) and press it once.Then press POWER
once.The device (e.g.,TV) should turn on.

If it does not turn on,review the steps 1 through 3 and make
any adjustments. Try step 4 again. If you continue to have a
problem,perhaps there is an IR line-of sight problem.Try
adding the enclosed IR Signal Extension Cord (see next
page).Also review the tips in Optimizing IR/RF Command
Center Reception on the next page.

the IR/RF Command Center.

If you are having problems remotely controlling a home entertainment
device from another room,try performing the following installation:

1. Plug the 4-foot IR Signal Extension Cord into the back of the
IR/RF Command Center.

2. Run the IR Signal Extension Cord to the device that is not in
line-of-sight of the IR/RF Command Center.

3. Using the supplied double-sided tape, attach the IR Signal
Extension Cord so that its LED is over or next to the IR sensor
of your home entertainment device.

LED

4. Test the installation by again taking the remote into another
room in your home, up to 100 feet away. Select a device key
(e.g., TV) and press it once.Then press POWER once.

The IR/RF Command Center will convert the RF signal
from the remote into an IR signal and transmit that signal
through the IR Signal Extension Cord to turn on your device
(e.g., TV).

If it does not turn on,try repositioning the LED until the
device can be controlled, then re-attach the LED.

OPTIMIZING IR/RF COMMAND

C

ENTER RECEPTION

To optimize the operation of your IR/RF Command Center, try
the following:

• Aim the remote toward the room where the IR/RF Command Center
is located.

• Do not position the IR/RF Command Center near metal objects, such
as heat ducts.Metal can absorb RF signals.

• Make sure the batteries in the remote are fully charged.Try replacing
them if you are not sure (see Installing Batteries on page 3). Weak bat­teries will affect the signal range.

• Make sure that the remote is not being affected by other RF transmis­sions (e.g.,garage door openers,cordless telephones,etc.).

NOTE: The tests for range limits of the remote and the IR/RF Command Center
were conducted in open-air distance tests.Actual signal distance will be based on
the construction of the building the unit is being used in, as well as other factors,
such as outside interference.
