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.
