4-in-1 Cable TV Remote Control

Make sure to set your TV to channel 2, 3, or 4 as directed by your cable company.

This manual makes reference to “mode keys.” These are the

TV, CABLE, AUX, and

VCR keys at the top of the remote control.

After you have programmed the remote, you’ll use the mode keys to select which device you want the remote control to operate.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Weak batteries may disrupt

normal operation of the remote. We recommend that you use

only

Alkaline

AA batteries.

Before you can program or operate the remote control, you must install two Alkaline AA batteries.

Step 1:

Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of your remote control.

Step 2:

Check battery polarity carefully, and install the batteries as shown in the illustration below

Step 3:

Replace the battery compartment cover.

SETTING UP YOUR REMOTE

The UF4-200C is already programmed to control Motorola (formerly) General Instrument DCT1000, DCT1200, and DCT2000 cable boxes. To control another device, look for the list of manufacturers’ three-digit codes for the device type in the Television Codes, VCR Codes sections, or Cable and Aux Codes sections, then perform the following steps.

Press and hold

CABLE for approximately three seconds until the four mode keys flash

twice. The CABLE key will continue to flash.

Press TV. The CABLE key will flash three times and turn off. You now control the volume through the TV whenever you change the volume level in Cable mode.

Press and hold CABLE for approximately three seconds until the four mode keys flash twice. The CABLE key will continue to flash.

Press CABLE. The CABLE key will flash three times and turn off. You now control the volume through the TV whenever you change the volume level in Cable mode.

PROGRAMMING VOLUME CONTROL

By default, volume is controlled through your cable box; but if you have a TV that permits volume control, and you would to control volume through it, follow these steps (this procedure does not affect the device codes you set previously).

If you would like to return to volume control through the cable box, follow these steps:

Make sure all devices to be controlled are turned on. Press and hold any mode key (AUX, CABLE, TV, or VCR) for approximately three

seconds until all four mode keys flash twice. The selected mode key will continue to flash.

Manually turn on power to the device for which you want to program the remote (TV, CABLE, AUX, VCR).

Press and hold a mode key for approximately three seconds until the four mode keys flash twice. The selected mode key will continue to flash.

Press

POWER. The mode key will stop flashing and remain on. Point the remote control at the device. Press and release the

CURSOR UP key repeatedly and slowly. Each time you press the key, the remote sends the power-off command using a different device code. When the device turns off, that means that the remote has been programmed with a code that can control the device. If you accidentally press the CURSOR UP key after the device has turned off, press the CURSOR DOWN key to return to the previous device code.

Test whether other functions operate using the remote control. If a primary function does not work, continue to press the

CURSOR UP key to find another code that turns

off the device. Then test the functions again. When you are satisfied that all primary functions are working, press

OK to lock

in the code.

step 1

step 2

step 3

step 4

If none of the codes listed for your Cable Box, TV, or VCR works, the CodeScan™method will allow you to cycle through all the available codes in the remote until you find the right Cable Box, TV, or VCR code.

RECALLING A DEVICE CODE

CODESCAN

™

The Cursor Up Key

Press and hold a mode key until the four mode keys flash twice. The selected mode key will continue to flash.

Press

HELP. The mode key flashes each of the three digits in the code. A pause separates each digit. For example, three flashes represent the number 3. Rapid flashing represents 0.

Count and record the sequence of flashes to determine the three-digit code.

Perform the following steps to read the code currently set for a device. This is useful for retrieving a device code that was set using the CodeScan

™

method.

Problem

I programmed the remote, but it won’t work my TV, VCR, or Cable Converter.

Solution

You may have entered the wrong code (or the correct code might not be listed). Try the

Code

Scan

™

procedure in section 12. It will allow you to cycle through all the codes until you find

one that works. Weak batteries may cause the remote to only operate one device or operate intermittently.

Replace weak batteries with

NEW alkaline batteries. Since your remote control has Memory

Lock

™

, you won’t need to reprogram it after the batteries are replaced. If you are sure the batteries are good, try rolling them with your finger (while they are in the remote control) to ensure a good connection.

Finally, make sure that nothing is blocking the signal from the remote control from reaching your TV, VCR, or Cable Converter; and make sure that you are pointing the remote control at the correct device when you are pressing a key on the remote.

Problem

My remote control doesn’t operate my combination TV/VCR.

Solution

Most combination TV/VCRs have VCR tuners in them. You will need to select a code from the VCR section that will power up your TV/VCR.

Problem

I don’t get any picture and/or sound from my TV.

Solution

Make sure all cables are connected properly and that all devices are powered on. Consult related owners manuals for specific installation and operation instructions for each device.

Problem

The channel buttons only operate my cable box.

Solution

Make sure that Channel Lock isn't engaged. Follow the steps in section 8 to disengage Channel Lock.

Problem

The Video-on-Demand keys don’t work.

Solution

To use the Video-on-Demand (VOD) keys, the remote control must be in cable mode. Press the cable button when you want the VOD keys to operate VOD functions. Press TV or VCR if you want them to oprate your VCR.
