Pocket Remote Control  (15-1915)     Preparation      Faxback Doc. # 16674

HOW THE REMOTE WORKS

Before you begin to use the Pocket Remote, it is helpful to understand a
little about how it works - nothing technical - only an idea of what you
can expect from the Pocket Remote.

After you set up the Pocket Remote, its command keys work like the keys on
your original remote controls, though the labeling might differ slightly.
For example, a key on your original remote control labeled PWR ON/OFF is
equivalent to the Pocket Remote's PWR key.

NOTES:  TV, VCR, and CBL are device keys.  You use them when you set up the
        Pocket Remote to replace your original remote controls.  You also
        use the device keys during normal operation to tell the Pocket
        Remote which device you want to control.

        Whenever you use the Pocket Remote's RECORD key, you must press it
        twice.  This safety feature helps prevent you from accidentally
        erasing video tapes.

SETTING UP THE REMOTE

INSTALLING BATTERIES

CAUTION:  Be sure to have the fresh batteries ready to install before you 
          remove the old batteries.  The Pocket Remote's memory only last
          about a minute without the batteries.  If the memory is lost,
          simply re-enter the 5-digit manufacturers' codes for your remote
          controlled products.

1.  Press the battery compartment cover's tab and lift off the cover.

2.  Install two fresh AAA alkaline batteries (Radio Shack Cat. No.23-555)
    as indicated by the illustration in the battery compartment.

3.  Replace the cover.

If the Pocket Remote's range decreases or the Pocket Remote operates
erratically, replace its batteries.

NOTE:  Do not place objects on top of the remote control after you install
       the batteries.  This can press down keys and reduce battery life.

SETTING UP YOUR DEVICE CODES

1.  Refer to "Manufacturers' Codes" (Faxback Doc. # 16676) and write down
    the codes for your original remote controls on the provided label.

2.  Press the device key for the type of remote you are replacing (TV,
    VCR, or CBL).

3.  Press and hold the CHAN DOWN ARROW key, then press and hold the device
    key for the type of remote you are replacing.  Continue holding the two
    keys down until you see the red light blink twice.  After the red light
    blinks twice, release the CHAN DOWN ARROW and device keys, then enter
    your 5-digit code.

               Press              For Number

               VOL UP ARROW       1

               VOL DOWN ARROW     2

              CHAN UP ARROW       3

              CHAN DOWN ARROW     4

    For example, to replace a Panasonic TV's remote control (manufacturer
    code 11414), press and hold CHAN DOWN ARROW and the device key until
    the red indicator blinks twice.

                          CHAN DOWN ARROW - TV

    Then press:

          VOL UP ARROW - VOL UP ARROW - CHAN DOWN ARROW - 
                    VOL UP ARROW - CHAN DOWN ARROW

4.  When the indicator blinks twice, you have correctly entered the
    5-digit code.

5.  Point the Pocket Remote at your device and press PWR.  The device
    should turn on (or off, if it was on).

Repeat Steps 1-5 for additional devices.

NOTES:  The red indicator at the top of the Pocket Remote flashes twice
        when you enter a code that it recognizes.  (This does not mean that
        it is the right code for your device.)

        If the remote does not operate your device, try other codes listed
        in "Manufacturers' Codes" (Faxback Doc. # 16676) for your brand of
        TV, VCR, or cable box.  If your device still does not respond,
        follow the steps outlined in "Troubleshooting" (Faxback Doc. #
        16677).

        The punch-through feature is automatically turned on for the TV's
        volume and mute controls.  This means that when you select CBL or
        VCR and press one of the volume buttons or M, the remote sends the
        codes to the television, not the cable converter.  If you want to 
        use your cable converter's VOLUME and MUTE controls, disable the
        punch-through feature for these buttons.
