TIP - ENTERING NUMBERS
Before you begin to program in your favorite channels or
codes, here is a quick overview on the 100, 10 and 1
buttons. These buttons allow you to program in the
channels and codes you will need to setup the weemote®.
To support channels above 999, we have also provided a
means to enter in channels in the thousands range - see
note at the bottom of this page.
.
Depending on which number you need, you simply break
down that number by 1000’s, 100’s, 10’s and 1’s. For
example, channel 294 would be entered by pressing the
100 button twice (100 X 2), the 10 button nine times (10 X
9) and the 1 button four times (1 X 4). See diagram below.

In this application, you could program the
normally used MUTE button to go to either
channel 3 or 4, depending on which channel
you use to output your VCR signal. Now the
child can pop the tape into the VCR, hit the
play button and then press the weemote’s
square gray button to ensure that the TV will
display the movie from the VCR deck.

And don’t worry about zeros - the weemote® will add them
in later. For example, if you need to enter channel 07 or
007 to get channel 7, just enter the number 7 (1 button
seven times) and the weemote® will handle sending
channel 07 or channel 007 if you need this option (3-Digit
Option).
To enter in channel numbers in the thousands range, you
would use the top portion of the channel up/down button to
enter increments of 1000. For example, to enter in
channel 8294, you would press the top portion of the
channel up/down button 8 times (=8000), followed by
entering the remaining information as shown above.

System Options
System Options
SETTING THE ENTER/OKAY OPTION
Some TV’s and Set-Top boxes require that the
ENTER or OKAY button be used when changing
channels. The best way to tell whether you need to
use this option is to use your existing remote. Point
your existing remote at your TV or SET-TOP box,
and then change a few channels. Now try using the
Enter or Okay button on your remote. Did the
channels change faster? If yes, proceed with this
setup, otherwise you do not need to use this option.
STEP 1: Press and hold the “TV” or “STB” button,
depending on which unit needs the enter option for
about 3 seconds. Once the LED light begins to flash,
then release the button.
STEP 2: Press the “FAV” button once.
STEP 3: Press the NUMBER “1” button located in
the setup area next to the 100 and 10 buttons. The
LED light flashes three times and then goes out to
confirm that the option has been set.
STEP 4: Continue on to Step 6 (TV) or Step 10
(Set-Top) to complete your setup.
To clear this option, simply repeat the Steps above.
SETTING THE 3-DIGIT OPTION
The latest digital TV and SET-TOP boxes support
hundreds of channels. These units typically
require that you enter three digits, regardless of
the channel number. For instance, channel 7
cannot be entered as simply 7, but rather 007.
The best way to tell whether you need to use this
option is to use your existing remote. Point your
existing remote at your TV or SET-TOP box, and
then select channel 7. Did you need to enter in
007 in order for the channel to change? If so, then
go ahead and set this option.
STEP 1: Press and hold the “TV” or “STB” button,
depending on which unit needs the 3-Digit option for
about 3 seconds. Once the LED light begins to flash,
then release the button.
STEP 2: Press the “FAV” button once.
STEP 3: Press the “100” button once. The LED light
flashes three times and then goes out to confirm that
the option has been set.
STEP 4: Continue on to Step 6 (TV) or Step 10 (SetTop) to complete your setup.
To clear this option, simply repeat the Steps above.
TV STARTUP MODE OPTION
Set-Top boxes are normally set for viewing with your
TV set to channel 3. If your Set-Top box is set for
viewing with your TV set to channel 2, 4, 5 or your
Set-Top is cabled directly to your TV’s video port,
then you need to set this option.
STEP 1: Press and hold the “TV” button for about
three seconds until the LED light flashes, then
release the button.
STEP 2: Press the “CHANNEL UP” button (top of
long blue button) once.
STEP 3: Press the Favorite Channel button that
corresponds to your setup (see table below). The
LED light flashes three times and then goes out to
confirm that the option has been set.

POWER UP TO FAVORITE CHANNEL
NOTE: DO NOT TURN THIS FEATURE ON UNTIL
YOUR WEEMOTE® IS COMPLETELY SETUP.
This feature allows you to set the weemote® to send
the first favorite channel programmed on the
GREEN #1 button whenever the user presses the
RED power button to turn on the TV and/or Set-Top
box on.
1. Press and hold the “TV” button for about three
seconds until the LED light begins to flash, then
release the button.
2. Press the RED power button once. The LED will
flash three times and go out to confirm this option.
You should test this feature several times on your
system to make sure it works properly. Some older
Set-Top boxes may not work properly with this
feature and some TV’s react too slowly when turned
on for this feature to work properly.
If you run into timing problems, you can try to make
the feature work better by making speed adjustments but making any speed adjustment also effects
favorite channel changing as well - see next section.
SPEED ADJUSTMENT
This feature allows you to control the speed at
which the weemote® sends channel digit information to your TV or Set-Top box as well as the
speed of the power button control sequence.
In some cases, making this adjustment is necessary in order for the weemote® to work properly
with your TV or Set-Top device. The typical
problem that suggests you need to adjust the
speed is that you notice the channel changing
before all channel digits are sent, i.e. channel 294
changes to 2 or 29.

System Options
In other cases, it is desirable to set the weemote®
to operate at the fastest possible speed to match
the performance of your equipment. As a rule, the
faster the information is sent, the less chance there
might be of interference with the signal, causing
channel changing to be more reliable. There are
other factors to ensure faster channel changing
such as making sure you don’t need to set the
ENTER or OKAY option. If you have not done so
already, make sure you review this by looking at
STEPS 6 (TV) and 10 (STB).
A speed value range of between 1 and 100 can be
entered into the weemote®. The lower the speed
value number, the faster your speed, i.e. a speed
setting of “1” sends information at the fastest
possible speed. We have found from experience
that the optimal speed value range is between 510, especially for Set-Top devices.
To enter a speed value:
1. Press and hold the FAV button until it begins to
flash, then release the button
2. Press and release the TV button (The LED
should now stay on)
3. Enter a speed value using the 100, 10 and 1
keys.
4. Press and release the TV button again - The
LED should flash three times to confirm the value
has been set.
You may need to try a range of different speed
value settings to find the optimal setting for your TV
and/or Set-Top box. Changing the speed value/s
does not effect any other program settings - you do
not need to go back and reprogram your codes or
favorite channels.
System Options
SET-TOP POWER ON/OFF
This option allows you to turn off the Power signal
that is normally sent to your Set-Top device
everytime the RED power button is pressed. This is
desirable if you leave your Set-Top device powered
on all the time.
Step 1: Press and hold the STB button down until
the LED light flashes, then release the button.
Step 2: Enter the command "950" using the 100, 10
and 1 keys.
Step 3: Press and release the STB button.
At this point, if the option has been enabled (SETTOP POWER OFF), the LED will flash three times
and go out. If the option has been disabled (SETTOP POWER ON), the LED will stutter flash.
SEARCHING FOR YOUR CODE
Sometimes you may not able to find a match using
the codes supplied in this manual for your TV or SetTop. In this case, you need to try and search for your
code as described below.
1. Turn on the TV, TV/VCR or Set-Top unit, depending on which unit that needs a code searched.
2. Press and hold the “TV” or “STB” button depending on which device you trying to locate a code, for
about 3 seconds until the LED starts to flash, then
release the button.
3. Point the weemote® at the device and begin to
press the volume up (YELLOW) button about every
half a second until the device turns off. Keep in
mind that you may need to press this button over
150 times to cycle through all the possible codes
that could work. To confirm you are in search mode,
you should see the LED light go off everytime you
press the button down and go back on bright when
you release the button.

4. When the TV or Set-Top device turns off, press
the “TV” or “STB” button again to lock in the code.
The LED should flash three times and go out to
confirm your selection.
Don’t worry if you go past the correct code. Simply
go back to Step 1 and then at Step 3, instead of
pressing the volume up button, press the volume
down button. This tells the weemote® to search in
the reverse direction back towards the matching
code.
5. Now test the code as described on pages 14 (TV)
or 24 (Set-Top). Once you find a code, please go to
the next section so that you can identify the code
number- CODE RECALL.
6. If the code does not work properly for all functions, please go back to Step 1 and repeat the
process. Keep in mind that when you begin a new
code search that the weemote® will begin from the
last point where you stopped from your last search.
CODE RECALL
Once you search and find a code, you can have the
weemote® signal the code back to you using the
LED. This allows you to write down the code on the
information label, located on the battery door side
facing the batteries.
1. Press and hold the “TV” or “STB” button, depending on which code you trying to read back for about
three seconds until the LED starts to flash, then
release the button.
2. Now press the same button “TV” or “STB” button
again and look at the LED.
The weemote® will begin to flash back the code in
the following manner. It will start by flashing back the
100’s value, then pause, followed by the 10’s value,
then pause and finish by flashing back the 1’s value.
Each flash represents a “1” value. Please note that a
“ZERO” is represented by a fast flicker of the LED.
As an example, right after Step 2; if the weemote®
flashes 4 times then pauses (4 X 100) then flashes 6
times then pauses (6 X 10) then flashes quickly and
goes out ( 1 X 0), then the code is 460.
CLEARING FAVORITE CHANNELS
The following procedure clears a programmed
channel from the weemote®.
1. Press and hold the “FAV” button for about 3
seconds until the LED begins to flash, then release
the button.
2. Press the favorite channel button you wish to
clear. Refer to the table below:
Clearing Channels 1-10 Table
To clear channel 1, Press Channel #1 (Green)

CLEARING TV/SET-TOP CODES
1. Press and hold the “TV” or “STB” button, depending on which code you are trying to clear for about 3
seconds until the LED starts to flash, then release
the button.
2. Enter in the code 333 using the 100, 10 and 1
buttons.
3. Press the “TV” or “STB” button again (depending
on which device you are trying to clear) to complete
the sequence. The LED should flash three times and
go out to confirm the code has been cleared.
You should delete the TV code if you intend to only
use your Set-Top box with the weemote®. In this
way, you can have all weemote® commands
normally sent to the TV such as volume and mute be
sent to your Set-Top box.
COMPLETE SYSTEM RESET
We recommend you use this feature whenever you
want to completely reprogram the weemote®. This
helps if you are having problems or you decide to
setup the weemote with a completely different
entertainment system.
If you are having problems with the weemote®
losing it’s program information every few days, we
suggest you pull the batteries completely out of the
unit and wait about two days before replacing the
batteries, then proceed with a System Reset.
1. Press and hold the “TV” button for about 3
seconds until the LED starts to flash, then release
the button.
2. Enter in the code 999 using the 100, 10 and 1
buttons.
3. Press the button again to complete the sequence.
The LED should flash quickly and go out to confirm
that the weemote® has been reset to factory
settings.

1. The LED does not light or flash?
Check to make sure you have installed the batteries
properly. Check to make sure that the batteries are
not dead or too weak to operate the weemote®.
2. The weemote® powers on my TV or SET-TOP but
does not change channels?
The weemote® must have at least one channel
programmed in order for channel changing to work.
Press the channel buttons you programmed. If the
LED does not light up brightly, i.e. the light is dim,
then the channels have not been entered or programmed properly. Please go back to Step 4 and
repeat entering your channels.
If your setup is TV only, make sure you did not
program in a Set-Top code by mistake. Try clearing
the STB code - See Page 39.
Check to make sure you have set the proper code in
the weemote®. Sometimes a code will only partially
work. Fully test each code as described in this
manual.
3. I see the correct channel digits on my TV but the
channel does not change?
Make sure you programmed in the ENTER/OKAY
option or 3-Digit option, depending on what your
equipment needs. Some TV’s or Set-Top boxes will
not change channels until either 3 complete digits or
an ENTER or OKAY command has been sent from
the weemote®.
4. When changing channels, the channel numbers
that are sent to the TV from the weemote® are not
the same as what I programmed?
Check to make sure you have set the correct code in
the weemote®. This happens frequently with Sony
codes. The weemote is designed to output exactly the
channel number you program in when pressing the
channel buttons in normal operation. Keep trying
other codes.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
5. The channel digits on my TV or Set-Top display
either the first or last digit I programmed in. For
example, channel 57 shows up as channel 5 or 7?
It sounds like you need to make some speed adjustments in the weemote®. See Page 34.
6. Whenever I turn on the Set-Top box, the TV turns
on, then back off.
Check to see if your TV is plugged into your set-top
box. If so, plug it directly into an electrical outlet or
delete the TV code - See Pages 7 and 39.
7. The channel up/down button only goes to the
channels I programmed in the weemote®?
The weemote® is factory set to limit channel access.
See Page 33 for other options you can set.
8. I notice that sometimes the weemote® seems to
get confused. Sometimes, the programmed channels
get knocked out of alignment when the child is
pressing the buttons too quickly?
There are two possible problems here. The first is to
check and make sure whether you need the ENTER/
OKAY or 3-Digit option. Some TV’s and Set-Tops will
delay or not even change channels if these options
are not set. If one of these options is needed and not
set, channel changing will be unreliable.
Depending on your TV or Set-Top, the weemote®
may be sending the channel changing information too
slowly. See Page 34 for adjusting the speed of your
weemote®.
9. My weemote® seems to be losing channel/program
information every few days.
Make sure you are using Alkaline batteries. Standard
batteries will not work properly. You should reset your
weemote®, replace with new batteries and see if this
clears up the problem. See Page 39 - System Reset.
If the problem persists, please contact us.

1. Keep the weemote® dry. If it gets wet, wipe it
dry immediately. Liquids may contain minerals
that can corrode the case and electronics.
2. Use and store the weemote® only in normal
temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of the electronics,
warp the plastic body and cause the batteries to
leak.
3. Keep the weemote® away from excessive
dust, dirt or sand. Exposure to these elements
can cause the keypad to work erratically or fail
altogether.
4. Even though the weemote® was designed to
handle above average shocks, dropping the unit
frequently can cause the case to crack as well
as the internal electronics to malfunction.
5. Use only fresh batteries and take them out if
you do you not plan to use the weemote® for
long periods of time. Batteries that leak can
cause extensive damage to the Weemote®.
6. Wipe the weemote® with a damp cloth
occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use
harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents as they may cause permanent
damage to the weemote’s finish.
Modifying or tampering with the weemote’s
internal components can cause malfunction and
may invalidate your warranty. If your weemote®
is not performing properly, please complete a
trouble report at our Customer Support page on
our website.
