ZEN REMOTE PROGRAMMING

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Your Universal Remote requires two AAA alkaline batteries. To install the batteries:

1. On the back of the remote, push down on the tab and lift the cover off.

2. Match the batteries to the + and - marks inside the battery case, then insert the batteries.

3. Press the battery cover back into place.

BATTERY SAVER

Your Zenith remote will automatically “time-out” if the keys are depressed more than two minutes. This will save your batteries should your remote get stuck in a place where the keys remain depressed (e.g., between the sofa cushions).

CODE SAVER

You will have no more than 90 seconds to change the batteries in your remote without losing codes you have programmed. However, do not press any buttons until batteries are secured in the remote. If buttons are pressed without batteries in the remote, all codes will be lost.

GLOW KEYS

Glow Keys must be exposed to light in order for the keys to glow in the dark. The longer the exposure to light, the longer they will glow. Do not place in Direct Sunlight. Natural day light or light from a Filament lamp or fluorescent Lamp is sufficient to recharge the glow material.

BUTTON FUNCTIONS

Some buttons on the remote control might have functions that are referred to by different names on your product. For example, “Prev Ch” may be the same as “RECALL” on your remote. Differences depend on the brand and model of your product. Also, this remote can only operate features that exist on your product. For example, your product must be equipped with “Prev Ch” ability for the “Prev Ch” button to operate this feature.

Note: The REC button must be pressed TWICE to record

from your VCR. For Zenith brand VCRs, press the REC button once, then press it again for three seconds.

PROGRAMMING TVS

NOTE: If your remote deosn’t have a CODE SEARCH button

(ZEN300 for example), use the Remotes With No Code Search instructions at the end of this section.

1. Manually turn on the TV.

2. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH button until the Indicator Light lights, then release the CODE SEARCH button.

3. Press and release the TV button (the Indicator Light will blink and then remain lit).

4. Find the three digit code for your TV in the code list in this booklet and enter it using the Number Buttons. After your code is entered, the Indicator will turn off.

Note: If the LED blinked rapidly when you entered the

code, you may have entered an invalid code. Recheck the code list and try again.

5. Now check to see if the correct code was entered. With your TV on, press some of the buttons. If the TV responds correctly to each of the buttons, no further programming is required.

Note: If some buttons do not operate your equipment, try

one of the other codes or our brand.

6. Write down the code for future reference.
