Introducing the AllTouch Remote Control
Your new AllTouch® Remote Control can do the job of four separate
remote controls. In fact, it can control four devices at one time. These
can be any combination of:
TM
• Home Terminals or 8600
• Televisions• VCRs• Home automation devices
• Cable audio receivers• CD players
Setup
When you first receive your AllTouch Remote Control, you will have to
tell it each brand of equipment you want it to control. We call this setup. The
cable mode is already set up for home terminals/HCT s.
In the back of this guide, is a list of numbers starting on page 19.
These are setup codes you must use to set up your remote control.
Remember–you must set up the AllTouch Remote Control for each
device you would like it to control.
Batteries are required
Your AllTouch Remote Control has a red light that comes on with each
button press when the batteries are good. The light blinks twice when
the batteries are installed for the first time. If the batteries are low, the
red light blinks twice each time you press a button.
Follow these steps to check the batteries and install new ones if
necessary.

All Search
If your device does not respond after trying all of the codes for your
brand, try the All Search procedure.
During All Search, the AllTouch Remote Control searches through a
library of codes until it finds the right one for your device. The
AllTouch Remote Control then completes the setup automatically.
Follow the steps below to do an All Search.
1. Turn on the device that you could not set up using the codes.
For example, if all the codes for your brand of VCR did not
respond, turn off your VCR. If the device is a CD Player, turn it
on and insert a disc.
2. Press and release the appropriate button on the remote control.
