Your RadioShack 3 in 1 Easy Remote can replace up to three standard infrared remote control s.

commands from the original remote controls. All you have to do is tell the 3 in 1 which remote controls you want it to replace.

After you’ve entered the manufacturers’ codes for your original remotes, the 3 in 1 is automatically ready to operate most of the same functions as the original remotes. (This manual includes a list of manufacturers’ codes for TVs, VCRs, and cable converters.)

Your 3 in 1 remote has these features:

HOW THE 3 IN 1 WORKS

Before you begin to use the 3 in 1, it is helpful to understand a little about how it wo rks — no thing technical, only an idea of what you can expect from i t.

After you set up the 3 in 1, its command keys work like the keys on your original remote controls, though the labeling might differ slightly. For example, a key on your original rem ote control that might be labeled PWR ON/OFF is equivalent to the 3 in 1’s

PREPARATION

INSTALLING BATTERIES

Cautions:

• Be sure to have fresh batteries ready to

install before you remove the old batteries. The 3 in 1’s memory only lasts about a minute without the batteries. If the memory is lost, simply re-enter the 3-digit manufacturers’ codes for your remote-controlled devices.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, different

types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

1.Press the battery compartment cover tab and lift off the cover.

2.Install two AAA alkaline batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols marked inside the compartment.

3.Replace the cover.

When the 3 in 1’s range decrease s or the 3 in 1 operates erratically, replace the batteries.

PUNCH THROUGH

The punch-through feature lets you control two different devices without pressing the device keys for each one first. Here’s how it works.

No device uses all of the 3 in 1’s keys. For example, a TV is often the only device that uses th e

keys, and a VCR is usually t he only device

that uses keys such as
