The buttons with a 0 beside them in
the chart below indicate which func­tion can work with which component.
(Ex. The ON/OFF function can work
with a TV, VCR, Cable Box or Audio
Component). The age, brand, model
and type of component may prevent it
from responding to all the function
buttons. Experiment with each button
to determine the exact function for
your component(s).

you should experiment with your
brand component to determine if these
buttons have any effect. Complete
operating details for these buttons can

InstalhgReplacing Batter&

Before attempting to operate your
remote control, install the batteries as
shown below.

1. Turn the remote control face down
and press on the ribbed area of the
battery cover to slide it off.

2. Install four new alkaline “AAA”
batteries in the battery compartment
as shown. Match the + end of each
battery to the + marks in the battery
compartment.

Operating

‘T:-

l

The remote control produces an

Your Remote

invisible (infrared) beam that travels
in a straight line like the beam of a
flashlight. For this reason, when
operating the remote control, you
must point it directly at the remote
sensor on the component you want to
control. Objects between the remote
and the sensor can block the infrared
light beam.

l

Never place anything heavy on top of

the remote control or lay it upside­down. This may accidentally depress
the buttons for a long time and
discharge the batteries.

l

Your remote control is designed to be

very rugged and will withstand a
considerable drop. If it receives an
extreme blow, the case is designed to
slightly separate at the seam rather
than fracture. If this happens, simply
squeeze the case where it separated
until it snaps back together. The
operation of the remote will probably
not be affected.

3. Replace the cover.

l

Replace the batteries when your
components fail to respond to the
remote control. You may have to
reprogram the code numbers when
you change batteries. Do not press
any buttons while changing batteries.

SETTING UP YOUR CODES
Set up each component using steps 4­8 below. Repeat the steps for each
component you intend to operate with
the remote control.

Press the component button on the
remote that matches the
component you want to set up
(TV, VCRl, VCR2, Cable or
Audio).

Press the ID button (The ID
button is located above the No. 3

key).
Within three seconds of pressing

the ID button, use the O-9 keypad
to enter the two digit code listed
for your brand.

7. Point the remote at the component
you want to operate and press the
ON/OFF button. If it turns on,
you are ready to set up your next
component. For easy reference,
circle the code in the chart on the
left that turned on your
component.

8. If the component does not turn on,

repeat steps 4-7 with the next
code listed for your brand.
Continue repeating until you find
a code that works.

Please Note:

for your device work, try all
codes starting with 00. Since
some of the brands include
products made by a variety of
manufacturers, the code may be
listed under another brand name.

If none of the codes
