4-IN-ONE REMOTE POWERED BY KAMELEON

INTRODUCTION

The RadioShack 4-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 four home entertainment devices.

After installing four (4) new AA alkaline batteries (not included), you can immediately use the remote to control an RCA TV, VCR, and DVD Player, and a Motorola Cable Box. To control other brands, please perform the instructions in “Programming A Device” on page 7.

HOW KAMELEON™ WORKS

he RadioShack 4-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

This remote combines the familiarity of push-button controls for standard operations (such as number keys) with the flexibility of Kameleon’s menu-driven LCD.

Acting like its namesake, Kameleon changes the Device Menu for the device being selected. For example, selecting TV displays a main menu that contains PIP controls. However, selecting a DVD player displays a menu with navigation keys and transport controls for the DVD device.

Animated key graphics also provide enhanced operational feedback, so you can easily see what mode is active and when commands are communicating with a device. The end result of Kameleon technology is a simple, elegant, and intelligent way of

simplifying the remote control keys for four different devices.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

BATTERY USE AND SAFETY

• Use only new 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 control for an extended period, remove the batteries. They can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

WA RN IN G: D is po se o f ol d b at te rie s promptly and properly. Do no 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 “Adjusting Brightness” on page 7).

• Disabling the Kameleon “tilt on” feature (see “Disabling the Tilt Switch” on page 12).

INSTALLING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE

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

SETTING THE SLEEP TIMER

The RadioShack 4-in-One Remote includes a sleep timer that lets you set your devices up to be turned off after a specified time, even if the device does not have a sleep function.

ENABLING THE SLEEP TIMER

If the Sleep key does not operate your device’s built-in sleep timer or activate on the remote, you must enable the sleep timer for that mode:

SETTING THE SLEEP TIMER

If you want to set any device to turn off after a specified time:

1. Press a mode key (TV, VCR, DVD, CBL/ SAT).

2. Press the Sleep key until the desired time is set. The timer increases by 15 minutes each time you press the key, up to 60 minutes.

1. Press a mode button (i.e., TV, VCR, CBL/ SAT, DVD).

2. Using the number keys, press 9 7 0. The top IR segment will blink four times to show that the sleep timer is no longer available.
